Mahi-Mahi Quenelles

Servings 2 People

Ingredients

  • 12 oz pkg Coleson's Catch Mahi-Mahi no skin, cut into strips
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 c Heavy Cream
  • 1 Tbsp Shallot chopped
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Plain white breadcrumbs approx. 1 cup
  • Broth for light version:
  • 3 c Chicken Broth
  • 2 Tbsp Shallots chopped
  • 1/2 c Carrots diced
  • 1/2 c Celery diced

Instructions

  • In a food processor, puree the Mahi-Mahi, add the egg, cream, shallot and seasoning; blend until smooth. Add the breadcrumbs.
  • The mixture should no longer be sticky-gooey but more like a paste. Add more breadcrumbs if needed.
  • In playing with it, you can recognize the right texture for a fluffy quenelle-not too stiff but doesn't fall apart. Chill mixture.
  • Light version:
  • Bring the broth and vegetables to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Using 2 hot spoons, form the quenelles into egg form and drop into the liquid when all are formed cover the pot and simmer.
  • Depending on the size of the quenelles, it will take 5 or so minutes. What you now have is a light broth soup. 
  • If you want it a bit richer, drain most of the broth and add heavy cream and bring to a boil (not with the quenelles in it, set them aside). Now it is more of a fish dish with a light cream sauce.
