Poached Fillets In Caraway Sauce Recipes

SHALLOW-POACHED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Prepare poaching liquid: Gently squeeze kumquats over a measuring cup to release juice. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When it is foamy, sweat the shallot until it is softened but not taking on any color, about 2 minutes. Add wine, tangerine juice, and kumquats (and juice) and bring to a simmer.
• Poach fish: Fold thin ends ("tails") of fish fillets under a little so the fillets have a more uniform thickness. Season with salt, then gently slide the fillets into the simmering liquid. The fish will not be completely covered with liquid but should be in a single layer. Cover with a parchment-paper round and reduce heat so the liquid is barely moving (just under a simmer). Poach until fish is opaque throughout and flaky to the touch. (Check after 1 minute, but it may take up to 5 minutes.) Use a slotted fish spatula (or other long spatula) to transfer fish to a platter. Cover with parchment paper and set in a warm spot until ready to serve.
• Make buerre blanc: Pour the cooking liquid through a fine sieve to strain out the solids, pressing on the fruit to extract as much liquid as possible. Return liquid to skillet and boil over moderate heat until reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off heat and gradually add the butter, whisking in a few cubes at a time. If butter isn't melting, return pan to moderate heat and swirl to hasten melting. Whisk until each addition is incorporated before adding more. When all of the butter has been added, stir in the sliced kumquats. You should have about 1/2 cup sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve: Drizzle buerre blanc over fish, and garnish with mint.

POACHED FILETS MIGNONS WITH HORSERADISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Season filets with salt and pepper.
• In a 2-quart saucepan heat demiglace and water just to a simmer and add steak. Add some boiling water to mixture if necessary to make enough liquid to just cover steak. Poach steak at a bare simmer (meat will toughen if liquid is allowed to boil), without turning, 8 minutes and remove from broth. Boil broth over high heat until reduced to about 1/2 cup and stir in mustard and horseradish. Keep sauce warm over low heat and halve steaks horizontally.
• Mound quinoa mixture on 1 side of 4 large plates and arrange 2 slices steak alongside. Spoon sauce over steak.

POACHED FISH IN CREOLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the scallions, garlic, celery, green pepper, and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, about 5 minute until softened but not brown. Add the flour to the veg. mixture and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring, about 1 minute longer. Add the tomatoes, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, thyme, cayenne, black pepper, and stock. Bring to a boil, stirring, then simmer, partially covered, 25-30 minute Stir the parsley into the sauce, then remove about 1 cup of the sauce from the pan and reserve. Add the fish fillets to the pan in a single layer. Pour the reserved sauce over the fillets. Partially cover the pan and simmer the fish about 10 minutes, until the fish flakes. With a large slotted spatula, transfer the fish to a serving dish and spoon the sauce over the fillets. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or rice and green beans.

CARAWAY POT ROAST

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, brown roast in oil on all sides over medium-high heat; drain. In a large bowl, combine the onions, carrots, cider, caraway seeds, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; pour over roast. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until meat is tender., Remove roast and vegetables; keep warm. Strain pan juices into a 2-cup measuring cup. Skim fat; add enough water to measure 2 cups. Return to Dutch oven. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; gradually stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in the sour cream and remaining salt and pepper. Serve with roast and vegetables.

BALKAN POACHED CARP WITH CARAWAY SEEDS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in the large frying pan. Add the caraway seeds and onions and fry until golden.
• Add the chives, lemon juice, and wine. Simmer 10 minutes.
• Add the fish and simmer 6 or 7 minutes. Flip and simmer another 3 or 4 minutes, or until fish is flaky.
• Remove fish, keep warm, and continue simmering to reduce sauce.
• Plate fish, season, and pour sauce on top.

POACHED FILLETS IN CARAWAY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep skillet with a lid over medium heat, then add the onion, half the caraway seeds, and the chives. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes, then add the stock and the other liquids; raise the heat to high and reduce by about half; this will take just a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper and the remaining caraway seeds. Lay the fillets in the liquid, cover, turn the heat to medium, and poach until the fillets are white and opaque throughout, about 5 minutes (the fish is done when it offers little resistance to a thin-bladed knife). Garnish with chives and serve immediately.
