A la carte 05.02.2004


Preparation:

Marinate the fish for about 6 hours. Then cut the fillets into three or four portions. (Tip: cut slashes in the skin, so the fish doesn't curl up when you cook it. Sauté the fillets in hot oil, then cook them in the herb butter for another five minutes.)

Potato fritters:

Mix all the ingredients, divide them into small portions and fry them in oil for 2 minutes until they are crisp.

Foie Gras:

Wipe the livers down with a paper towel before you cook them. Then sauté them briefly in oil and pour in the wine.

Sauce:

Mince the shallots and sauté them in oil. Add the minced morels and crayfish tails. Pour in 100 millilitres of white wine and let it simmer over medium heat for five minutes. Stir in the sour cream, let the sauce simmer for another five minutes until it thickens. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt, a little pepper, brandy and dill, according to taste.

Serve on a warmed plate with fresh herbs such as chives and dill, and add the crisp potato fritters. Season with a bit of truffle oil to taste.
