Skate wing

I absolutely love skate wing. I had some in this weekend and the dish is featured on a previous post. With the skate that was left i deboned the wings and layed them out flat with a light pounding of a mallet. I seasoned with salt and pepper and crushed walnuts and rolled them into logs. I then set them in the fridge to firm up. I poached them in a water bath just lightly simmering until medium well. Once chilled the skate was lovely and firm and full of moisture.

The resulting dish is this, steamed ballontine of skate wing with a trio of truffle: vinaigrette, shaved, cream.
