Spanish term or phrase: reducción in this context
This is the context Girasoli rellenos de calabaza con crema suave de queso Gorgonzola, crunch de amaretto y reducción de remolacha.

I imagine reducción is a cooking terminology for chefs, etc, but I have had no luck finding it in English.

Thanks for your help

When I looked up the term online, I could not find it as a cooking term Phil and I have never ever heard of it, perhaps because cooking is not my speciality, but thanks for your help

reduction


Explanation:
Reduccion is the same meaning as the english word, "reduction". In other words, it means to reduce that what you are doing or using. In cooking, it could mean to reduce the temperature that you are cooking at or to reduce the size of the pot or container you are using. I hope this helps out.

Example sentence(s):
  • You will need a reduction in the oven temperature or you will overcook your roast.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I know perfectly well that "reducción" has the same meaning in English as in Spanish Ronald, it just does not sound logical to me to use it in the English cooking terminology, but as times change, so do terminology. The more complicated it is for those who are not specialists in the profession, the less risk of losing their jobs for specialists (as I read when studying linguistics).

neutral  Carol Gullidge: yes of course it means "reduction", but not in any of the senses you mention. This is when a sauce (etc.) has been boiled down to concentrate its flavours, thicken it, reduce volume, etc
