Best Skate Wings With Cabbage And Spring Onions Recipes

SKATE WINGS WITH CABBAGE AND LEEKS

Steps:

• Rinse fish and pat dry. Combine yellow onions, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper in a large, deep skillet. Add the skate wings and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as water boils, remove pan from heat. Remove 1 cup of the liquid into a small nonreactive saucepan and set aside. Cover the skillet and set aside until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile steam the cabbage until cooked, about 10 minutes. Bring the reserved cup of liquid to a boil over high heat. Boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and boil for another minute. Swirl in the butter a few pieces at a time, and keep the sauce warm over very low heat. To serve, drain the skate on a towel. Remove the skin from both sides. Place 2 wedges of cabbage on each of 4 warmed dinner plates. Place skate on top of cabbage. Spoon sauce over the fish, sprinkle with leeks and serve immediately.

SAKE STEAMED SKATE WING WITH NAPA CABBAGE

Steps:

• Ponzu: Combine all of the ingredients in a small, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, strain and discard zest. Keep warm.
• Yuzu Vinaigrette: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
• Steaming Liquid: Place all of the ingredients in a large saucepan (large enough to keep the dashi kombu flat.) Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and set aside for 30 minutes. Remove the kombu and reserve both the liquid and the kombu.
• Put the steaming liquid in the bottom of your steamer and bring to a boil. Cut the kombu in half. Place 1 sheet of the kombu on the perforated pan of your steamer. Arrange the skate wingson the kombu. Cover with the other piece of the kombu. Set the perforated pan over the boiling liquid, and cover with a lid. Steam for 4 or 5 minutes over high heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the cabbage. Heat the oil in a sautepan, add the cabbage, and stir-fry until the edges of the cabbage just start to brown. Add the garlic and stir-fry for about 10 seconds. Remove from the heat and lightly season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the cabbage among 4 large, hot serving bowls. Place a skate wing on each cabbage mound. Spoon the Ponzu over the skate. Toss the garnish greens together and then mound them on top of the skate. Sprinkle with the Yuzu vinaigrette and sesame seeds.

SKATE WINGS WITH GRENOBLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Season the skate with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the skate in the flour, coating completely.
• In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, saute the skate for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside.
• Add the shallots and capers. Season with pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and wine. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter, a cube at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley.
• Add the fish back into the sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
• In another saute pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, spoon the vegetables in the center of each plate. Place the skate on top of the vegetables and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with remaining parsley.

PAN-FRIED SKATE WINGS WITH CAPERS

Steps:

• Put the skate fillets in a dish large enough to hold them in one layer. Pour the milk over them and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Turn the fillets in the milk so they are coated on both sides.
• Scatter the flour over a large dish. Lightly dredge the fillets in the flour on both sides.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the fillets. If it is necessary to do this in two batches, use the same oil. Saute on one side until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until golden brown, about 3 minutes more. When the fillets are done, transfer them to a warm platter or serving plate.
• Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and return the skillet to the heat. Melt the butter and add the red peppers, shaking the pan frequently until the butter turns light brown. Add the capers, cook briefly, and add the shallots, vinegar and parsley. Cook briefly; then stir and pour the sauce over each fillet evenly. Serve immediately.
