Ingredients:

1 pound fresh Sole

4 Egg yolks

5 oz Sweet Butter at room temperature

2 cups heavy Crème

2 tsp Chef Josef’s Tarragon Citrus Blend, divided

2 Tbsp chopped shallots or onion

1 tsp Fish sauce

Instructions: 

Place sole in food processor and process until it becomes a completely smooth purée.

Add the butter slowly to purée until all is absorbed.

Add 1 tsp of Chef Josef’s Tarragon Citrus blend.

Add egg yolks, one at a time.

Slowly add 1 cup of crème into food processor until all completely incorporated, creating a mousse. 

Allow mousse to chill in refrigerator for a least 1 hour.

This step can be done the day before.

 

Bring 1 quart of water to a simmer. Add fish sauce. Reduce heat. Form golf ball size balls from the mousse (ice crème scooper works well) to create quenelles.

Place quenelles into fish broth and bring to a light simmer.

Simmer for 6 minutes or until quenelles are firm.

 

Melt the 1 oz butter in saucepan.

Glaze shallots until translucent.

Add crème and 1 tsp Chef Josef’s Tarragon Citrus Blend.

Simmer for 2 minutes.

Place Quenelles on plates for either a main course or appetizers.

Spoon crème sauce over quenelles and serve.
