Pan Fried Skate Wings With Capers Food

DINNER TONIGHT: PAN-FRIED SKATE WING WITH CAPERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour the milk into a medium sized bowl, along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the flour to a plate. Pour the oil into a non-stick skillet set over medium-high heat. Place the skate wings in the milk, dredge them evenly in the flour, and then place them in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes per side. Set aside on a clean plate when done.
• Wipe out the skillet, and then add the butter and turn the heat to medium-high. When melted, add the red pepper. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the butter turns a light brown. Add the capers and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Finally, add the shallots and the vinegar. Cook for 30 seconds, stir well, and then pour the sauce over each skate wing.

PAN FRIED SKATE WING

Steps:

• Rinse the skate wings under cold running tap water and then pat them dry with some kitchen paper. Pour the plain flour in a deep plate and season it with some pepper and salt. Then coat the skate on both sides with the flour and shake off the excess flour.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter to a large non-stick pan and place it over high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the floured skate wings.
• Sear them quickly on one side for a couple of minutes until golden brown. Then flip the wings over and brown them on the other side.
• Turn the heat lower to medium and cook the fish for another couple of minutes until cooked through. Then remove the wings and place them on clean warm plates. Pour the vinegar in the greasy pan to deglaze it.
• Drain the butter, vinegar and baked bits. Then place the pan over medium heat and add the rest of the unsalted butter.
• Let the butter brown a little and then add the lemon juice and the fresh chopped parsley. Season with a sprinkle of pepper and salt. Then take the pan off the heat and drizzle the butter sauce on top of the baked skate wings. Serve hot.

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.

SKATE WINGS WITH CAPER BUTTER SAUCE AND OLIVE OIL MASH

Steps:

• For the skate wings, dredge the skate wings in the flour.
• Heat a large frying pan until hot and add the butter and oil. When the butter is foaming, add the skate carefully and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through.
• Meanwhile, for the sauce, place the butter into a small saucepan over a medium heat and heat until melted and just turning nut brown in colour.
• Add the lemon juice, caperberries, capers and parsley and stir through.
• For the olive oil mash, place the potatoes into a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender, then drain and place back in the pan.
• Mash the potatoes until smooth then add the olive oil, stirring well with a wooden spoon or a whisk. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• To serve, place the skate onto the plate. Add two spoonfuls of mash, then spoon over the caper butter.

PAN FRIED SKATE WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the skate wings by first trimming the "frilly" side with some kitchen scissors to make an even curved shape.
• Place the wing on a chopping board and feel for the bone on the tick end, it will only be on one of the two sides.
• Place a knife alongside the bone and cut to around half way through the piece of fish, you will not be able to go any further.
• Hit the knife with a wooden mallet or old rolling pin to cut through the bone then set aside.
• Dice the shallot as finely as you can.
• Heat a small saucepan (15cm) over a high heat and when it is hot, add the prosecco and shallots and reduce by half.
• Whilst the sauce is reducing mix the flour with the white pepper and salt for the fish on a flat plate.
• Dredge the wings with the flour mix and set aside.
• Heat a wide-based frying pan big enough to hold the skate wings over a high heat.
• When the pan is hot add the butter for the fish and when it foams add the skate wings.
• Cook for 3-5 minutes per side or until cooked.
• The skate is cooked when it separates easily from the "bones" with a sharp knife.
• Just before serving whisk cold butter in 3 stages into the reduced prosecco.
• Add the parsley and capers to the sauce, taste and add salt as required.
• Stir and cook for 30 seconds before serving.
