Ingredients
Method
Sauce:
1) Heat the 15g of the butter in a frying pan set over medium heat. Cook the diced vegetables until softened but not browned, and then deglaze the pan with the vermouth and white wine.
2) Add the fish stock, cream, bay leaf, clove and peppercorns. Cook until it thickens and then pass through a sieve. Return the sauce to the pan and simmer to reduce to the desired consistency.
3) Before serving the sauce, stir in the cold butter and finish with the chives.
Char:
Bring the court bouillon to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat. Put the char fillets in a saute pan, and drain the court bouillon on top of the fish. Slowly let the fish poach without denaturing the fish protein.
Barley risotto:
1) Heat 15g of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook the shallots until softened but not browned. Add the barley and deglaze the pan with the wine. Slowly add the chicken stock, a little at a time, stirring frequently.
2) To finish, stir in the remaining cubed butter.
Root vegetables:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the vegetables briefly and then shock in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. To serve, heat the vegetables in a saucepan with a little chicken stock.
Plating of the dish:
Put a spoonful of the barley risotto in the middle of a deep dish. Place the poached char on top and cover with a generous amount of the chive sauce. Decorate with the winter root vegetable julienne.
