Garlic and Wine Sauce

This recipe is best made using an electric whisk - hand mixer - it's possible to do it by hand, but is hard work!

You can poach four fish steaks - try something really meaty, like halibut or turbot in about 5 fl ozs wine - cover and simmer for about 5 minutes until the fish is cooked through. Strain the liqour and keep the fish warm.

OR

Use about 5 fl oz (15ml) dry white wine to steam the shellfish - about 4lbs (1.8kilo) mussels or a mixture of shellfish - steam for about 3 minutes until all the shells are open - discard any that are still closed. Strain the liqour and use in the following way:-

Garlic Wine Sauce
6 cloves garlic - peeled
3/4 tspn salt
2 egg yolks
3 tspns lemon juice
10 fl oz (300ml) good quality olive oil
Cooking liqour as above
Handful of freshly chopped parsley

Take the garlic cloves and crush them with the flat blade of a large knife. Mix to a paste with the salt - really smooth.

Put the garlic paste into a bowl with the egg yolks and lemon juice and whisk together well. Incorporate the oil slowly until you get a nice thick mayonnaise type sauce.

Add the cooking liqour and parsley - mix together well and pour over the cooked fish or shellfish.

This is an absolutely delightful seafood sauce - serve lots of fresh crusty bread and make a pig of yourself!
