An Unconventional Christmas Eve Menu: Pike in Almond Batter
· 4 servings
Prepare the fillets
Take the fillets out of the freezer and let them thaw. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Make the almond batter
In a deep bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork. Season with salt, then add the ground almonds, finely chopped parsley and buckwheat flour – start with one tablespoon and add the second depending on how thick the batter is. Stir with a fork until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Fry
Dip the pike into the batter and fry in clarified butter (ghee).
