butter sauce..

[sara3]

as in "cod in butter sauce".

I just love the sauce! any recipes for a non-Nigella person like myself?

thank you :o)

Sara.... have you tried making a prawn butter? Put some butter and cooked prawns into a food processor and whiz into a paste. Add some rock salt and a tbsp of vermouth and then heat in a pan and pour over a pan cooked fillet of cod.

[sara3]

hi NM :o)

I love prawns! sounds fab but can I substitute the vermouth for anything else?

[ChuckFickens]

^ warning, kitchen appliance stalker :)

[NoMercy]

It's just a cheapie I bought from the ferretería, Lamtaf.

Sara... the vermouth is optional but you could always add a table spoon of dry white wine. If the sauce looks like it is splitting, add a tiny bit of corn flour and keep stirring.

It's a shop that sells everything from batteries and pliers to kitchen equipment and wine buckets.

f fs NoM... can't you use a wine glass like everyone else...

[NoMercy]

pmsl...

Of course I meant an icebucket for standing the wine in ;-)

[sara3]

thanks again NM.. I just wondered if it tasted boozy. my kids are fussy :o/

[ChuckFickens]

Fussy as in they want it to taste boozy??

(oh hang on, you don't live in Essex do you ;))

[rinkins]

Steady on Chuck what exactly are you implying here?

[ChuckFickens]

LOL, I'm allowed to take the pee out of Essex. :)

(though I also know none of the stories are true)

thanks Chuck, but I'm not sure that's like the cod-in-butter-sauce kinda sauce. it just doesn't sound right.. not that I'm an expert, evidently!

[ChuckFickens]

hmmm, sure it is the fish sauce recipe, there is another one thats more like a soup

here it is on a fish site and it's the same (slightly more detail though)
