Poached Shad Roe With Sorrel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter for the sauce in a small pan. Drop in the sorrel leaves, and
• cook over medium heat, stirring now and then, until the liquid has evaporated.
• The sorrel will turn a khaki color, but don't let that bother you. Season with salt and pepper and just a tiny pinch of sugar. Pour in the cream, and cook for about 5 minutes, until thickened. Keep warm.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons butter in a small skillet that will just hold the shad roe. Rub the milk over the roe, dredge in flour, season with salt and pepper, and slip the roe into the pan. Cook slowly for about 5 minutes, turning once. Arrange on a warm plate, and spoon the sauce around.

Steps:

• In a large kettle, heat the stock to simmering over medium heat. Add the celery root and Jerusalem artichokes and cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt two tablespoons of butter in a small skillet. Toss the sorrel in the butter just to coat. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Using a serrated knife, remove the crusts from the bread and cut into one-quarter-inch cubes. Melt the remaining butter in a small skillet over high heat and toss the cubes in the butter and toast until golden, about three minutes. Reserve.
• With a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables from the stock and place them in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the stock and season with salt and pepper.
• Bring the soup to a boil and stir in the cream. When the soup is steaming, add the sorrel and ladle into hot soup plates and sprinkle with the croutons and chervil.

Steps:

• Thinly slice scallions, separating darker green parts for garnish.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add light green and white parts of scallion and sauté until wilted, 2 minutes. Add sorrel leaves, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until sorrel wilts and starts to break down, turning olive-green in color, about 3 minutes. Stir in cream and let simmer for 1 minute to thicken a bit.
• Carefully crack eggs into skillet; they should fit in one layer. Lower heat to medium-low and sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper. Cover pan and let cook for 2 minutes, then turn off heat and let eggs rest, covered, until done to taste, about another 30 seconds for very runny yolks (the whites should cook through).
• Carefully scoop eggs and sorrel sauce into two bowls. Season with chile and flaky salt; garnish with scallion greens. Serve with toast.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay fish, skin-side-down, in an ovenproof dish. Season, dot with butter and pour over the wine. Place fish in the oven for 10 mins until just cooked, then lift onto a warm plate.
• Working very quickly, pour the juices from the dish into a small saucepan with the crème fraîche, boil until slightly thickened, then stir through the sorrel until just wilted. Spoon over the fish before serving. Buttered new potatoes on the side are a must.

Steps:

• Place the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Place the stock in another saucepan and heat over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, melt three tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the foam subsides, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the flour. Return to the heat and whisk for another minute and gradually add the stock. Raise the heat and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Add the reduced cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook for 10 minutes.
• Melt the remaining butter in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the sorrel and stir into the sauce mixture. Reserve on the side of the stove.
• Wash the roe gently in cold water, pat dry with paper toweling and set aside. In a heavy, nonreactive skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Gently coat the roe in the butter, cover the skillet and cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.
• Divide the shad roe onto warm plates and spread the sorrel sauce over each pair of roe. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
