How to make it
- Method
- Fillet the eel and remove the skin with a knife, along with as much of the fat as possible.
- Cut the fillets into 20 medallions and set aside in the refrigerator.
- Fry the shallots in the peanut oil until lightly colored. Once they have cooled slightly, crush them, add the two vinegars, season and heat just to a simmer.
- Finish the vinaigrette by adding the cooled peanut oil. Set aside in a cool place.
- Brown the bread crumbs in butter, drain, and keep hot.
- Season the eel with salt and pepper and cook in clarified butter until lightly colored on both sides. Remove the pan from the heat and cover the eel medallions with bread crumbs.
- Arrange 5 endive leaves in a star pattern on each plate, placing the eel medallions and mesclun in between; season with the vinaigrette in the center. Garnish with chive spears, nasturtium blossoms and rings of purple shallot (cooked in equal parts wine vinegar, red Port and red wine).
