Abalone almondine is a classic French dish that combines the delicate flavor of abalone with the rich, nutty flavor of almonds. This elegant dish is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. It is a relatively simple dish to prepare, but it does require a bit of time and attention to detail. The abalone should be cooked carefully to avoid overcooking and becoming tough. The almonds should be toasted until they are golden brown and fragrant. The sauce should be made with a combination of butter, white wine, and lemon juice, and it should be thickened with a little bit of flour.

1 pound fresh green beans
1 ½ ounces slivered almonds
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place beans into a microwave-safe casserole dish with enough water to cover the bottom. Microwave on high power until almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold running water to keep the nice green color.

Return to heat and add garlic. Mix in green beans, season with salt and pepper, and continue to stir until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ pound abalone without shell
1 ½ cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup olive oil for frying
½ cup ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon lime juice
chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Slice the abalone into 1/4 inch thick steaks, making sure to trim off any meat that is not white, as this part tends to be very tough. Place the steaks on a cutting board, and pound with a meat tenderizer until pliable.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup, horseradish, and lime juice to make a cocktail sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Whisk eggs and milk together in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in a large resealable plastic bag. Dip the abalone steaks in egg, then place in the bag with the crumbs and shake to coat.
  • Fry coated abalone for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Place on a platter, and garnish with lime slices and parsley. Serve with the cocktail sauce for dipping.

ABALONE ALMONDINE



Abalone Almondine image

I remember many years ago enjoying fresh abalone steaks in Southern California along the coastline. The abalone is now on the endangered species list and consequently can't be legally harvested from the ocean. There are a few seafood farms, however, which still sell abalone steaks on line. They're outrageously expensive, but I recently purchased a few and prepared them this way. They were wonderful and brought back lots of happy memories. I think my recipe is the first on Zaar for fresh abalone. This recipe truly makes a fine gourmet main dish. Serve with buttered angel hair pasta and fresh vegetables. Break out your very best bottle of white wine and enjoy.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 abalone steaks
1 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
salt and pepper
1/2 cup cornmeal
3/4 cup butter
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Pour milk into a large shallow bowl.
  • In another shallow bowl, combine flour seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper and corn meal.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter over moderate heat in a heavy 12 to 14 inch skillet.
  • While the butter is melting, dip each abalone steak first into the milk, then the flour mixture, so that each piece is well coated.
  • When the butter in the skillet has stopped foaming, quickly saute each steak on each side no more than 15 to 20 seconds per side.
  • IMPORTANT: Overcooking will cause the abalone to be tough and you will have wasted lots of money!
  • As each steak is sauteed, remove from the skillet and place on a warm platte.
  • When all the steaks are sauteed, sprinkle with lemon juice and parsley.
  • Place platter in a warm oven.
  • In a heavy skillet, melt 1/4 cup butter and saute the almonds over moderate heat for 4 to 6 minutes or until they are golden brown, stirring constantly.
  • Remove the platter from the oven, pour the almonds and butter over the abalone steaks and serve at once.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups blanched slivered almonds
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
Freshly ground black pepper
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 cleaned sole fillets (6 ounces each)
1 large or 3 small shallots, finely chopped
1 cup white wine
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 chopped flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.
  • Return the pan to medium heat (if you have 2 pans you can work simultaneously at this point, i.e. 2 fillets per pan) and add a 2-count of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to each pan.
  • Put the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge the fillets in the seasoned flour, then dip them into the egg mixture. Allow some of the excess egg to drain off, then add them to the hot pan. Cook 2 pieces at a time. Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then carefully turn the fish over to cook the other side. With a spoon, baste the fillets with the butter sauce. Repeat basting to ensure the fish remains moist. Once the other side is cooked (about 30 seconds) carefully remove the fillets from the pan to a serving platter. Repeat with remaining 2 fillets and a 2-count of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the fillets have been removed the pan, add the chopped shallots and gently saute over low heat until translucent, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and finish with the lemon juice. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon the sauce over the top of the fillets and sprinkle generously with the toasted almonds.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Abalone: Choose live abalone with tightly sealed shells. Avoid any with cracked or damaged shells.
  • Proper Cleaning: Before cooking, clean the abalone thoroughly to remove any sand or grit. Use a stiff brush to scrub the shells and rinse them under cold water.
  • Tenderizing Abalone: To tenderize abalone, you can use a mallet or a meat tenderizer to gently pound it before cooking. This helps break down the tough fibers and makes the abalone more tender.
  • Marinating: Marinating the abalone in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices before cooking adds flavor and helps keep it moist.
  • Cooking Methods: Abalone can be cooked using various methods such as boiling, steaming, grilling, or pan-frying. The cooking time may vary depending on the size and thickness of the abalone.
  • Garnish: Garnish the cooked abalone with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or cilantro to enhance its presentation.
