Preparation
- Step 1
Place large heavy-bottom pot over medium-low heat, and add butter. Cook until butter solids turn dark brown. Add juice, zest, soy sauce, hot sauce and 6 cups water. Bring to a simmer. Butterfat will rise to surface; skim off with large shallow spoon. Cook and skim for 20 minutes. Place a chinois or fine-mesh strainer over large bowl, line with cheesecloth and pour in broth.
- Step 2
Remove 1 cup broth; cool to room temperature. Sprinkle gelatin on it, and let rest 5 minutes. Stir into broth in bowl, blending well. Put in a covered container and freeze solid, possibly overnight.
- Step 3
Place in cheesecloth-lined colander over 2-quart bowl. Thaw in refrigerator until all liquid has dripped out, leaving gelatin behind, 24 to 48 hours. Save consommé from bowl, and discard gelatin. Can be frozen for 3 months. Use as broth with seared scallops or lobster ravioli, or as artichoke poaching liquid.
