Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - ⌛ 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 1
It is not necessary to use fish fillet, ordinary pieces will be fine.

Wash the 300 g fish fillet, remove skin and bones then cut into medium size pieces.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 20 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 2
Wash 3 leeks, and slice thinly.

In a large pan, melt 40 g butter and add the sliced leeks, and well mix but don't add salt.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 3
Cook uncovered 4 - 5 minutes, until leeks are almost cooked, but still a bit crunchy.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 4
Add the fish pieces, mix well and cover.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 5
Leave to cook until fish becomes opaque.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 10 min.
Nicholas's fish : Stage 6
Add 200 ml cream, salt and pepper, then thicken the cream over a low heat for a few minutes.

It's ready.
Remarks
Adding cream is optional, but Nicholas loves it and it's smoother with it.

You can add other vegetables, but I think that leeks are essential.
Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered by a plastic film.

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
