Pike à la Martinière
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- 1 pike (brocheton)
- aromatics (aromates)
- 1 cup white wine
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt and pepper
- 4 ounces walnut lobes (noix épluchés)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Score the pike lightly with shallow crosshatch cuts on both sides. Place it in a shallow dish with the aromatics, white wine, oil, and salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about one hour.
- Remove the pike from the marinade and pat it dry with a clean cloth. Grill it over moderate heat, basting frequently with oil, until the flesh is opaque and the skin is lightly crisped.
- Transfer to a serving platter. Stir the finely chopped blanched walnut lobes into the mayonnaise and serve alongside the grilled pike.
