INSTRUCTIONS
SAUCE
GARNISH
PEARL BARLEY
ENDIVES
Trim and gut the brill. Cut the fish in two, lengthways. Cut each
half into thick slices 2-3 cm. You have at least 8 pieces. Quickly
colour the brill in a frying pan. Transfer to a shallow butter pan.
Sprinkle with shallots, tomatoes, parsley stems and chives. Wet with
the beer and fish stock. Season and bring to a boil. Cover with a
piece of buttered parchment and cook in a hot oven at 180C for 8-10
minutes.
Sauce: Once cooked, remove the fish and pour the cooking liquid into a
saucepan. Reduce in volume by three quarters. Gradually mix in the
butter, season and strain through a fine sieve. Add the chopped
parsley and chives into the sauce.
Garnish: Finely slice the green cabbage and blanch. Melt the butter
and cook the bacon. Add the cabbage and cook gently over the heat
covered with paper for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat and add
the cheese which has been cut into small cubes. Cut the filo into
long strips 6cm x 12 cm.
Use 3 bands per galette. Butter each strip and stack on top of each
other. Place 2 spoonfuls of the cooled cabbage into the centre and
fold closed. Place the galettes in a hot oven at 180C until lightly
coloured.
Barley: Cook the barley in boiling salted water. Refresh and reheat in
butter or steamed.
Endive: Carefully remove the outer of the leaves of the endives until
the yellow heart is exposed. Gently cook in a little butter, salt,
sugar, lemon juice and water. Cut in two lengthways and lightly
colour in a frying pan.
