- Low the heat and then continue to simmer for about 1hour, without stirring.
- Strain the pan contents through a fine sieve lined with a muslin cloth and collect the strained liquid in a clean saucepan. Keep the strained consommé warm.
- Then, skim off the fat and put the consommé in a strainer.
- Boil the broth again, along with commandaria, for 10 minutes (to remove the alcohol) and add salt and pepper.
- Wrap the crepes and cut them with a sharp knife into thin slices.
- Divide the broth into 8 bowls, add the crepes and garnish with chopped parsley or chives.
