okay, Leslie (mainwriter) asked me to post this recipe over here, when we were in the chatroom and i told her my husband was preparing dinner and i was giving instructions.
I've never written a recipe in english and english is not my native language, so bear with me ;D
Raie au beurre noire or Raie with browned butter
serves 4
Poach 4 wings (small) or 2 large wings of raie in water with 1 slice of onion added and seasoned with some salt and a few black peppercorns. Depending on the size of the fish, this shoud take about 15 minutes.
prepare the sauce: melt a good (and i mean good, this is no recipe for those who are counting calories) nob of good butter (certainly not margarine) over a hot fire until it browns. Add cappers and, if you like some lemon juice.
Put the fish on a serving dish and pour the sauce over the fish. Serve with mashed potatoes and spinach.
Yummy!!
This was one of my mum's favorites! I get real nostalgic eating this.
smakelijk! :) (Enjoy)

Fabienne, that sounds great. Did your mum serve this around the holidays?
By the way, we often call raie either "stingray" or "skate".
Bon appetit,
Paul

no Paul, but leslie said it was okay to post a 'non holiday' dish over here too. Although, if i'm not mistaken, the skate is at its best this time of year. I don't remember eating this during the summer . i thought it was 'skate' but my dictionary told me otherwise, maybe i should get myself a new one :)

This machine you talk about, would you find it at specialty stores? or do you have to get married to get one?

That means in most places only heterosexual people could have this appliance. And only those who have gone through a legal ceremony first. I guess this why there are always toasts at these kind of events. I wish anyone who wanted one of these gadgets could own one. :-\

I believe raie or ray is the Bristish usage, similar to prawns (UK) vs. shrimp (US).
I'll need to look at the fish market. I have actually never cooked skate, but I love seafood. Mashed potatoes and spinach are two of my favorite sides, too.
As for holiday/non recipes...I have posted plenty of the latter. I think the goal is, the more the merrier! That's my take on it, at least.
