About Espagnole sauce

Espagnole sauce is a classic brown sauce traditionally made from brown stock thickened with a browned roux and flavoured with aromatics and tomato. Commercial and contemporary versions may differ, and the record does not specify a recipe or preparation.

It is generally brown, savoury, and thick enough to coat food, with a deep cooked flavour. It may be prepared from scratch or sold in concentrated, powdered, or ready-to-use forms. The exact texture and flavour depend on the stock, thickener, and other ingredients used.
