Grilled Skate Wings With Nonya Sweet-And-Sour Sauce image

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds skate wings
1 tablespoon coriander, ground
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
1 to 2 serrano chile, , or other hot chiles, seeded and minced (for a hotter mixture, leave the seeds in)
6 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup sweet and sour sauce, Nonya (see recipe), or as needed
1 to 2 tablespoon vegetable oil, for brushing

Steps:

1. Preheat the grill to high.2. Cut the skate wings crosswise (in the same direction as the bones) into 1-inch strips. Butterfly each strip by cutting it in half lengthwise as far as, but not through, the bottom piece of skin. Spread the halves open, then set the strips aside while you prepare the basting mixture.3. Combine the coriander, curry powder, cloves, chile, water, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl and whisk until smooth (see Note).4. When ready to cook, preheat a fish or vegetable grate (if using) for 5 minutes, then oil it or the grill grate. Arrange the skate pieces on the hot grate and grill until nicely browned on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes. Using a long spatula, carefully turn the pieces over and brush each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the Nonya Sweet-and-Sour Sauce. Grill until browned on the second side and the meat flakes easily when pressed with a finger, 2 to 4 minutes longer.5. Using the spatula, transfer the skate to serving plates or a platter and serve immediately.Serves 4Note: This makes a wonderful basting liquid for any type of seafood it will keep for weeks in the refrigerator.
