Ingredients
Method
Poached Gigha halibut:
Poach the halibut in a ‘butter’ bath at 55°C for approximately 8 minutes (not in a vacuum Pac bag).
Smoked almond Pesto recipe:
Blitz bread, cheese, nuts and spinach then season. Add oil slowly until incorporated.
Seaweed Butter sauce:
Add white wine, bay leaf, peppercorns and the vinegar to a heavy based saucepan and reduce to a syrup. Whisk in the cold butter on a rapid heat until emulsified, add the chopped seaweed and season, keep warm until needed.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
