re:Fabrication Question [Recipe's for swamp eel (Is thatthe same as Fresh water?)]

[Guest guest]

Here is one for fresh water eel. If it is not the same, I wouldn't know where

else to try. You can check this one out, and the other 3 that are listed at the

bottom. I didn't make the changes for O, but they look like it wouldn't be hard.

Matelote Of Eels

Makes/Serves: Serves 4

Ingredients

800 g (1 3/4 lb) eels, skinned and cut into 7.5 cm/3 inch pieces

seasoned flour for coating

50 g (2 oz) butter

400 ml (14 fl oz) Basic Fish Stock

125 ml (4 fl oz) dry red wine

25 g (1 oz) plain flour

12 button mushrooms, sliced

salt and pepper

Method

1. Toss the pieces of eel in seasoned flour. Melt half the butter in a saucepan,

add the eel and fry gently for 10 minutes until lightly browned, turning the

pieces frequently.

2. Pour in the stock and wine and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, cover the

pan and simmer for 30 minutes or until the eel flesh starts to come away from

the bones.

3. Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, add the flour and cook

gently until nut brown in colour. Do not allow the butter to burn. Set the pan

aside.

4. Drain the eel pieces, discarding the bones, and keep them warm in a serving

dish. Strain the stock into a large measuring jug. Gradually add the stock to

the browned butter and flour mixture, stirring constantly. Return the pan to the

heat and bring to the boil, stirring.

5. Lower the heat, add the sliced mushrooms and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add salt

and pepper to taste and pour the mixture over the eel pieces. Serve at once,

with plenty of wholemeal bread.
