Turbot With Summer Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• SAUCE: In a heavy bottom saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shallots and lightly sweat. Add the flour, stirring in with a wooden spoon, lightly browning for 5 minutes. Add the scalded milk and stir constantly with a wire whisk. Add the mascarpone cheese and fava beans. Season with kosher salt and white pepper to taste. Remove from heat and reserve.
• CRUST: Mix the panko, Parmesan cheese and parsley in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Moisten with truffle oil. Season lightly with kosher salt and white pepper.
• In each of the cassoulet dishes, slice 1/2 of a lobster, arranging it in a circular pattern in the center of each dish. Reserve claws. Layer slices of summer truffles on top of the lobster. Add the macaroni to the sauce base, adjust the seasoning with salt and white pepper. Cover the lobster with the macaroni and sauce, dividing it evenly between the 4 dishes, filling up to the top. Place lobster claw in the center of each dish. Cover with the breadcrumb topping. Place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees until the top is golden brown and the cassoulet is hot all the way through (about 15 minutes). Serve with Louis Roderer L'Ermitage cuvee and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a deep, heavy bottomed stock pot, melt the butter and saute corn, onions, celery, and carrots. Add chicken stock and reduce by 1/2. Add cream and reduce by 1/2. Add thyme sprigs. Set aside.
• Season the lobsters with salt and pepper. Grill until the flesh becomes milky white. Heat lobster stock and blanch lobster claws for five minutes. Set aside. When cool, pick knuckle and claw meat.
• Blanch haricot vert in lobster stock. Remove from stock and place in saute pan. Add cream, truffle oil, and chopped parsley. Hold warm and reserve lobster stock.
• Place creamed corn back on the stove until it simmers. Check seasoning.
• In a saute pan place the picked meat and grill tails. Warm them with the lobster stock.
• Spoon the creamed corn into bowls. Arrange haricots verts around the edge of the bowl. Each bowl receives 2 knuckles, 2 claws, and 1 tail. Shave fresh truffles to garnish each bowl and finish with chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Marinate morels in olive oil and lemon and orange zest for at least 4 hours.
• For the Salad: Shave pecorino into 1/8-inch slices that measure 1 1/2 inches long by 1/2-inch wide. Set aside. Shuck and peel fava beans. Cook in boiling water with salt until they are tender. Remove and shock in ice cold water to stop cooking. Remove morels from marinade and grill over low heat. Place morels on a plate and hold aside.
• For the Vinaigrette: Mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon zest and orange zest. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in beans.
• Place morels and cheese slices decoratively on a clean plate. Dress with vinaigrette. Top with thin slices of summer truffles. Serve.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the turbot on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When you see a wisp of smoke, add the fillets to the pan (do not overcrowd the pan to achieve a proper sear, so cook in batches if you have to). Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the butter per fillet to the pan. Cook the turbot on both sides until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes total. Remove to a plate.
• Deglaze the pan with the white wine over medium-high heat and let cook all the way down to a dry pan. Add the remaining butter to the saute pan and cook until slightly golden brown. Add the capers and lemon juice, and then add the fish back to the pan. Baste the fish with some of the sauce to warm. Remove from heat, add the tarragon and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
• Put each fillet on a plate and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with the lemon zest and a sprig of tarragon.

Steps:

• To make the fish cream sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken stock, fish stock, mussels, white wine, mushrooms, peppercorns, parsley, and chervil stalk together. Season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium high heat and reduce until about 3/4 of the liquid remains Remove the mussel shells and mussels. Add the cream and reduce further by half. Keep warm.
• To make the poached turbot: In a medium pot of boiling water, cook 8-ounces of the fresh peas until almost overcooked. Drain well and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a food processor and puree.
• Cut the iceberg lettuce into fine strips or shreds. Boil the remaining peas and when just cooked, remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter on medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic and sweat them, about 4 minutes. Then add the whole and pureed peas and iceberg lettuce, cook until lettuce has wilted. Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
• In a large wide saucepan, combine the wine and chicken stock together. Bring up to a mild simmer on low heat. Add the turbot and lightly poach. When almost cooked, about 8 minutes, add the langoustines and cook for an additional for 2 minutes. Remove the fish and langoustines, and keep warm.
• In a medium skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on medium-high heat. Add the giroles and cook until soft. Drain well and set aside.
• Combine the reserved fish cream, horseradish cream, cayenne, and lemon juice. Finish with a spoon of whipped cream and using a hand blender, mix well together.
• To serve, place a large spoonful of the pea puree in the center of the plate and decorate with 5 pieces of buttered asparagus around the plate. Sprinkle with giroles. Place the turbot on top of the puree and 2 pieces of langoustines on top of the fish. Spoon some of horseradish cream sauce on top and garnish with sliced truffles and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Lay endives, cut sides down, in large shallow pan or braising dish with lid. Sprinkle with salt, pour in stock, and arrange orange pieces around pan. Cover and braise until tender, about 25 minutes. (Endive can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool to room temperature and discard oranges, then refrigerate, covered, in braising liquid. To reheat, add 1/2 cup fresh chicken stock and simmer, covered, over moderate heat until warm, 5 to 10 minutes.)
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat ramekins or aluminum foil muffin cups with vegetable oil spray or brush with vegetable oil. In large pot combine celery root and cold salted water to cover. Bring to boil over high heat, then lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 25 minutes.
• While celery root is simmering, in small saucepan over moderate heat, warm cream until barely simmering (do not allow to boil), about 2 minutes.
• Force celery root through food mill. Transfer 1 1/2 cups celery root to blender, reserving any leftovers. Add hot cream and process on medium until creamy and smooth, about 1 minute. Add salt and process just until combined, about 10 seconds.
• In large bowl, lightly whisk egg yolks. Slowly add celery root purée, whisking constantly to avoid curdling. Strain mixture through fine-mesh sieve, then ladle into ramekins.
• Transfer ramekins to large roasting pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Cover entire pan with foil, and using toothpick, poke small holes 3 inches apart all over surface of foil to allow steam to escape. Bake until flans are set, 20 to 25 minutes, then transfer ramekins to rack. (Flans can be prepared up to 2 days ahead. Refrigerate in ramekins, tightly wrapped, then reheat in large roasting pan filled with hot water in 325°F oven until warm, about 5 minutes.)
• In small saucepan, combine garlic cloves and cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then drain, add fresh cold water, and bring to boil again. Drain, add wine, and bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by 1/2, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to boil, then lower heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by 1/2, about 5 minutes. Transfer to blender, add butter and salt, and blend on medium until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour through fine-mesh strainer into small saucepan, cover, and keep warm over very low heat, until ready to use. Whisk before serving.
• Heat cast-iron or stainless-steel pan over high heat until almost smoking, then add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Sprinkle 4 fillets on both sides with salt and transfer, skinned-sides-up (there will be a rosy-colored stripe running up the center of the fish where the backbone was) to pan. Add 1 tablespoon butter and sear, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn fillet over, lower heat to moderately high, and continue cooking until just opaque, less than 1 minute. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain, wipe pan clean, and cook remaining fish in same manner.
• Transfer 2 endive halves to center of each plate. Run small, thin knife or offset spatula around inside edges of ramekins to loosen flans, then turn 1 out onto side of each plate. Spoon garlic nage over endive and top with turbot. Grate 1 teaspoon truffle over each fillet and serve immediately.
