Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/4 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon freshly chopped tarragon
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups court bouillon, recipe follows
4 (4-ounce) sea bass fillets, skin removed
Salt and white pepper
4 ounces, 1 stick, cubed, cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon freshly chopped chervil, plus more for garnish
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 1/2 cups carrots, cut into batonnet (1/4 by 1/4-inch by 2 1/2 to 3 inches)
1 1/2 cups zucchini, cut into batonnet
2 tablespoons water
2 quarts water
2 cups dry white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups small dice onion
3/4 cup small dice carrots
3/4 cup small dice celery
1/2 cup small dice leeks
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 bunch parsley stems

Steps:

  • Place a 12-inch saute pan on the stove, add the shallots, garlic and court bouillon to the pan. Set over a high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Season the sea bass fillets on both sides with the salt and white pepper. Place the fillets in the poaching liquid and cover with a lid, or a buttered round of parchment paper. Cook the fish for 5 to 6 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Remove the fillets from the poaching liquid using a slotted metal spatula and place on a warm plate loosely covered with aluminum foil. Put the plate in a warm place while you make the sauce. Raise the heat to high and reduce the court bouillon for about 10 minutes, or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Lower the heat, and add the butter to the pan a little at a time. Use a whisk to stir the cold butter into the sauce and season with salt and white pepper. Sprinkle the tarragon and chervil into the sauce and return the fish to the pan. Place the pan over a medium-low heat and warm the fish through, about 1 minute.
  • In a 10-inch saute pan, set over a medium-heat, add the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the carrots to the pan and saute, stirring often for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the zucchini and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan and continue to cook for 2 minutes more. Season the vegetables with salt and white pepper and divide among 4 warmed entree plates. Place a sea bass fillet over the vegetables and divide the sauce among the 4 plates as well. Garnish with chervil.
  • Combine all the ingredients into a 4-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for 45 minutes. Strain the bouillon and use immediately, or cool and refrigerate for later use. The bouillon may also be frozen and kept for several months.

SAUTEED CARROTS AND CELERY ROOT (SAUTE DE CAROTTES ET CELERI-RAVE)



Sauteed Carrots and Celery Root (Saute de Carottes et Celeri-Rave) image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium carrots, sliced
1/2 to 1 cup water
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 large celery root, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, combine the carrots, 1/2 cup of the water, and butter. Sprinkle the sugar over the top and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are almost tender. Add the celery root (add more water if the mixture is dry). Cook for 5 minutes, or until the celery root is just tender. Season with the salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Wash and peel the carrots: Scrub the carrots under cold water and then peel them with a vegetable peeler.
  • Cut the carrots into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. You can cut them into slices, strips, or cubes, depending on your preference.
  • Heat the oil or butter in a pan: Use a large enough pan so that the carrots can spread out in a single layer. Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat until it is shimmering.
  • Add the carrots and cook until tender: Stir the carrots occasionally so that they cook evenly. The carrots should be tender but still slightly firm, which usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the carrots: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs like thyme, rosemary, or parsley for extra flavor.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: Sautéed carrots are best served hot. You can enjoy them as a side dish or as a main course with a protein of your choice.

Conclusion:

Sautéed carrots are a quick, easy, and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can have a healthy and flavorful side dish that will complement any meal.
