Ingredients
570ml/1 pint fish stock made from turbot bones 75g/3oz butter 50ml/2fl oz Vouvray or any other medium dry white wine 50g/2oz carrot, sliced thinly 50g/2oz celeriac, sliced thinly 50g/2oz white of leek, sliced thinly 50g/2oz button mushrooms, sliced thinly salt and freshly ground black pepper 900g/2lb piece of turbot, filleted and skinned, cut into 2cm/¾in slices 150ml/5fl oz double cream 8 large or 12 queen scallops, prepared 1 lemon, juice only 10 fresh basil leaves, shredded thinly, plus extra to garnish
Method
1. Pour the fish stock into a pan and boil rapidly until reduced to 150ml/5fl oz. 2. Heat the butter and half the Vouvray in a wide, heavy-based pan large enough to hold the slices of turbot in one layer. 3. Add the carrot, celeriac and leek, cover and cook gently for five minutes, or until just tender. Stir in the mushrooms and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. 5. Lay the slices of turbot on top of the vegetables, spoon over the remaining Vouvray, the reduced fish stock and the cream, then season lightly. Cover and cook over a gentle heat for five minutes. 6. Add the scallops to the pan, cover and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper and add a little freshly squeezed lemon juice to taste. Sprinkle over the shredded basil. 7. Spoon the vegetables on to four warmed plates. Arrange the turbot and scallops on top and garnish with the remaining basil.
