Time 10m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless, skinless skate wings, about 1 1/2 pounds
4 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
4 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 large bay leaf
4 sprigs fresh parsley
Salt to taste
8 whole peppercorns
Orzo with fresh tomato (see recipe)
Pesto sauce (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Arrange the skate wings in a skillet large enough to hold all the fish in one layer. Cover with water and add the vinegar, thyme, bay leaf, parsley, salt and peppercorns. Bring to a gentle rolling boil and turn off the heat. Let sit for four to five minutes.
  • Drain the fish and transfer them to warm serving plates on top of the orzo. Drizzle some pesto sauce over all and serve immediately.
