An old Beaujolais recipe.
Ingredients
2 big tench
1 bottle of Beaujolais
1 big onion
1 bouquet garni
4 cloves of garlic
Salt, pepper
20 baby onions
20 mushroom heads
140g of butter
15g of flour
2 tablespoons of oil
1/2 lemon
1 pinch of granulated
sugar.
Recipe
Make a stock from the Beaujolais, the sliced onion, and the bouquet garni and 1/2 litre of water,
season with salt and pepper. Leave to cool.
Put the tench on the shelf in a fish kettle cover it with the cold or barely warm stock. Bring
to the boil, turn the heat right down to a gentle simmer. Poach for 25 minutes.
While this is cooking, glaze the baby onions in butter with a pinch of sugar and cook the mushroom
heads in a little water, the juice of ½ a lemon and the oil.
Place the tench in an ovenproof dish. Arrange the baby onions and the mushrooms around them keep
warm.
Reduce 3dl of the stock by 2/3 over a high heat. Thicken this with a roux made with 30g of butter.
Bring to the boil quickly. Finish the sauce over a very low heat adding 40g of butter.
Pour the sauce over the tench and put back into a very hot oven for a moment to glaze.
