Roast skate with beetroot and parmesan, grilled baby gem and minted Jersey Royals
Ingredients
4 Servings
Minted Jersey Royal
Grilled baby gem lettuce
Method Season the skate wings well. Heat the oil in a pan until hot. Brown the skate on one side for 2-3 minutes, then add the butter. When it foams and turns golden, baste the fish and cook for 3-4 minutes. Set to one side
In a separate frying pan add the capers and beetroot and cook for a further 2 minutes, occasionally spooning the butter over the fish. Remove the pan from the heat and add the Parmesan, parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Glaze the skate with the vinaigrette.
Halve the gem lettuce lengthways then brush with olive oil. Heat a griddle until almost smoking. Season the lettuce then griddle with the rosemary for 1-2 minutes on both sides, until they have taken on some colour and wilted slightly.
Put the potatoes in boiling water. Cook until tender.
Pour the stock into a saucepan and heat until almost boiling. Cut the butter into small cubes. Gradually whisk the butter into the stock, adding it piece by piece, while whisking vigorously, until completely emulsified. Add lemon juice and seasoning to taste then stir through half of the mint.
Tip the potatoes into the pan and shake to coat in the minty buttery emulsion. Sprinkle with a little more mint just before serving.
