SKATE WINGS WITH CABBAGE AND SPRING ONIONS
Steps:
- Rinse the fish and pat dry. Combine the onions, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper in a large, deep skillet. Add the skate wings and cover with cold water. Cover and bring to the boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils, remove the pan from the heat. Remove one cup of cooking liquid to a small saucepan. Cover the skillet again and let it sit off the heat until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- At the same time, place the cabbage in a steamer and steam until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- To prepare the sauce, bring the reserved one cup of cooking liquid to a boil over high heat and reduce by more minute. Swirl in the butter and keep the sauce warm over very low heat.
- To serve, drain the skate on a towel and remove the skin from both sides. Place two cabbage slices on each of four warmed dinner plates and place the skate on top of the cabbage. Spoon the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with the raw onions or scallions and serve immediately.

SKATE WINGS WITH GRENOBLE SAUCE
Steps:
- Season the skate with salt and pepper. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the skate in the flour, coating completely.
- In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, saute the skate for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the pan and set aside.
- Add the shallots and capers. Season with pepper. Saute for 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and wine. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in the butter, a cube at a time. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon of parsley.
- Add the fish back into the sauce and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- In another saute pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
- To serve, spoon the vegetables in the center of each plate. Place the skate on top of the vegetables and spoon the sauce over the fish. Garnish with remaining parsley.
CABBAGE AND LEEK GRATIN
I love this next to any roast meat, brisket or silver side. It's a nice change in veggies on the plate.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 180*C/375*F. Remove any old and tatty looking leaves from the outside of your head of cabbage. Cut it into quarters and remove the core. Shred coarsely.
- 2. Trim the leeks, cut in half and wash them thoroughly. Shred them coarsely as well. Mix them into the cabbage.
- 3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Add the vegetables. Bring back to the boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook them for about 5 to 6 minutes, just until barely tender. Drain in a colander. Make sure you get as much water out as you can. You don't want any to dilute the delicious cream sauce.
- 4. Make your cream sauce by melting the 3 TBS of butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring over medium heat, for about one minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, whisking constantly, until smooth and nicely thickened. Season to taste with some salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Add a splash of hot pepper sauce to taste.
- 5. Put the cabbage mixture into a buttered shallow dish. Pour the cream sauce over top and allow it to soak in for a few minutes, while you make the crumbs for on top
- 6. Melt the 2 TBS of butter and then stir in the bread crumbs, mixing all together well. Sprinkle the buttered crumbs evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until nicely bubbling and the crumbs are lightly browned on top. Note - I sometimes add a cup of grated gruyere cheese, plus 1 heaping TBS of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce to give it a rich and cheesy flavour. You may also add some grated cheese on top if you wish.
