Best 4 Roast Skate With Malted Caramelized Garlic Sauce Recipes

ROAST SKATE WITH MALTED, CARAMELIZED GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• To make the sauce take a small saucepan and fry the garlic in 3 tbsp of olive oil until it is dark nutty brown in colour.
• Add the vinegar and a pinch of paprika.
• Bring to the boil and reduce by half.
• Season well with salt & pepper and remove from heat.
• Drizzle the remaining olive oil into the pan to cover the bottom of large oven safe pan and heat on the stove top until very hot (I like to use cast iron).
• Season the skate with salt & pepper on both sides.
• Turn off the heat and slide in the skate, being careful of oil splatter.
• Put the skate into the oven for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
• Remove and serve immediately with the warmed sauce spooned over the fish and a sprinkling of paprika.
• Note that you can make the sauce while you do the skate but you should start the sauce first (when you start preheating the oven would work well) since the garlic takes a while to caramelize without burning.

CARAMELIZED GARLIC

Steps:

• Blanch garlic cloves in boiling salted water about 2 minutes. Remove and place in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Remove cloves from water and drain on paper towels.
• Place the sugar and butter in a small heavy skillet and add 2 tablespoons of wine. Place the pan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture turns a golden color tipping the pan and swirling the mixture to insure even cooking. Add the water 1 tablespoon at a time, swirling the pan to incorporate the liquid. Add the garlic and cook until well coated and the garlic is soft but still retains its shape about 5 minutes.

BAKED SKATE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Finely grate the zest from 1/2 of the lemon. Cut lemon in half, remove seeds, and juice it into a small bowl. Mix bread crumbs with melted butter in another small bowl.
• Rinse skate wings and pat dry. Cut into 4 pieces and place in the prepared baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with lemon zest, and pour lemon juice over top. Sprinkle with dill and then bread crumb mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Continue to bake, checking in short increments, until fish is uniformly white throughout and can be easily lifted from the skeleton, up to 5 more minutes; do not overcook.
• Carefully move to a serving platter and garnish with lemon slices and dill sprigs.

ROASTED CARAMELIZED GARLIC

Steps:

• 1. There are many ways to roast garlic, this is what I do. Set oven to 350 I use my toaster oven
• 2. I try to rub off as much as the white paper that covers each clove as it will stick like crazy to the garlic when done. A few times I have removed the garlic from the shells for me it was such a waist of time and each time I have done this so much of the garlic has burned, and with out doing the smash the clove trick its so time consuming.
• 3. You can cut the top of the garlic off some will give it a splash of olive oil when its cut some will not. which ever you choose just wrap the head of garlic in foil and check on it from time to time with a squeeze, if you find it is tender then give it a look. you want just like the caramelized onions to be a dark gooey brown the photo shown could in my would be cooked longer.
• 4. When it is color you want take it out and please let it cool getting that sticky hot garlic on your fingers you only want to do once. pull the cloves apart and give each clove a squeeze or just grab the entire head and squeeze the heck out of it, I do this on plastic wrap because this is how I will store it.
• 5. I will freeze the roasted garlic when I do a full bag of it. It can be mixed into soft butter tossed in mashed potatoes, sauces soups stews anything use your imagination
