Shad Roe In Mushroom Cream Sauce Recipes

CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until butter is melted. Add mushrooms and cook until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in wine, and allow to sizzle while scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
• Stir in cream and chicken broth, lower heat to medium, and simmer slowly, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens but does not separate, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in thyme and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

SHAD ROE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet. While foaming is subsiding, lightly dredge roe in flour and shake off excess. Add roe and cook until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Turn over, and brown on the other side. Remove the roe to a plate. If necessary add more butter to the skillet. Add ginger and saute for a moment. Add lemon juice and remove from heat; season with salt and pepper, add parsley or chives and spoon over shad. Serve with lemon or lime wedges.

SHAD AND SHAD ROE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cut the fillets in half crosswise.
• Combine the milk, salt and pepper in a shallow dish and place the flour in another dish. Dip the fillets and the roe into the milk, then in the flour to coat both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the fish to the pan, skin side up, then the roe. If the pan is too small, cook as much as you can, set aside to keep warm and repeat. Saute the shad for about 2 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Carefully turn the shad and the roe. When they are golden brown cover the pan tightly and continue cooking until they are cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes depending on the size of the roe. Transfer the fillets and roe to a warm plate and keep warm.
• In the same skillet add the remaining oil and the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, shaking the pan and stirring or tossing occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown.
• Add the garlic, shaking and tossing for 20 seconds. Do not brown the garlic. Add the lemon juice and parsley. Blend well and spoon the mixture over the fish. Serve Immediately.

POACHED SHAD ROE WITH SORREL SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the cream in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced by half. Place the stock in another saucepan and heat over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, melt three tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When the foam subsides, remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the flour. Return to the heat and whisk for another minute and gradually add the stock. Raise the heat and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Add the reduced cream, season with salt and pepper to taste and continue to cook for 10 minutes.
• Melt the remaining butter in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the sorrel and stir into the sauce mixture. Reserve on the side of the stove.
• Wash the roe gently in cold water, pat dry with paper toweling and set aside. In a heavy, nonreactive skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Gently coat the roe in the butter, cover the skillet and cook 10 to 12 minutes, turning once.
• Divide the shad roe onto warm plates and spread the sorrel sauce over each pair of roe. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

SHAD ROE WITH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Heat an 8- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat for a minute or two, then add the butter. When it melts, gently lay the shad roe in the pan and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the underside is lightly browned.
• Turn very gently-a large spatula is best for this-and season the cooked side. Cook for another 3 minutes or so, again until the underside is lightly browned. By this time the roe should be quite firm to the touch; if it is still soft, cover the pan and cook for another minute or two, then cut into it to check. When done, the center will be red and the area surrounding it pink.
• Transfer the roe to a warm plate. Add the mustard and 1/4 cup of water to the pan; stir. Raise the heat to high and stir the sauce with a wooden spoon until smooth and thick. Spoon over the roe, garnish if you like, and serve immediately.
• Shad Roe with Capers and Vinegar: In step 3, omit the mustard. Instead, stir in 2 tablespoons capers, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until blended and the liquid is reduced by about half. Spoon over the roe, garnish, and serve.
• Shad Roe with Bacon: Omit the butter. Begin by cooking 4 thick slices good-quality bacon over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is done; remove the bacon and keep warm. Cook the shad roe in the bacon fat, exactly as directed. Serve the shad roe and bacon with lemon wedges, garnished with fresh parsley.

SHAD ROE IN MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain the shad roe. Put the roe in one layer in a skillet and add one-half cup milk, water to barely cover, bay leaf, parsley sprigs, salt and pepper.
• Bring to a boil and cover. Let simmer about three minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Heat two tablespoons butter in a saucepan and add the flour, stirring with a wire whisk. When blended and smooth, add the remaining half-cup of milk and three-quarters cup of the cooking liquid from the roe. Stir in the cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add nutmeg and cayenne pepper. Strain sauce through a sieve, pushing to extract all liquid from any solids. Reheat sauce.
• Heat remaining tablespoon of butter in a skillet and add mushrooms and lemon juice. Cook briefly, stirring, until mushrooms are wilted and lightly browned. Add shallots and stir. Add this mixture to the sauce.
• Transfer the drained roe to a serving dish. Pour the mushroom sauce over them and serve.
