What is the thick puree sauce made from puréed fruits or vegetables called?

• A. Salsa
• B. Liason
• C. Coulis
• D. Slurry

Answer: (C)

Coulis is a thick sauce made from puréed fruits or vegetables that is strained to a smooth, silk-like consistency. The key idea is turning the produce into a refined puree and then removing seeds or skins for a clean texture. Fruit coulis, like strawberry or raspberry, offers bright sweetness and color, while vegetable coulis, such as tomato or roasted red pepper, provides savory depth. This differs from a salsa, which is typically chunky and pieces are left in rather than fully puréed. A liaison is a method of finishing a sauce with eggs and cream to enrich it, not a puréed sauce. A slurry is a starch mixed with liquid used to thicken sauces, not to create a puréed base.
