Turbot Braisé (Braised Turbot)
Origin: Paris, France
Source: Auguste Escoffier, 1907
Ingredients
- 1 turbot
- cooking liquor
- butter
- aromatics
Instructions
- Take a turbot of medium size.
- Prepare the cooking liquor in advance and let it cool before pouring it over the fish.
- Lay the turbot on the buttered rack, arranged so that it can be slid easily onto the serving dish.
- Put the aromatics under the rack of the turbot kettle.
- Cook in the oven with little moistening, basting often.
- Unless it is absolutely required, send the garnish and the sauce separately rather than arranging them round the fish, so that it is served very hot; if the fish must be garnished on the dish, do it as quickly as possible and at the very last moment.
