Skate wings with vegetables and onion confit is an exquisite dish of European cuisine, combining a richness of flavors and textures. Tender skate fillet, coated in crispy breadcrumbs, is complemented by a sweet-spicy onion confit made by slow cooking with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar. The saffron-infused hollandaise sauce adds tenderness and a hint of spice, while sautéed vegetables—green beans and juicy cherry tomatoes—bring freshness and harmony. This dish evokes the Mediterranean shores where seafood pairs with aromatic herbs and sauces. It is perfect for special occasions and will delight gourmets who appreciate refined flavor combinations.

Ingredients

• Stingray fillet: 120 g
• Black Eyed Peas: 70 g
• Cherry tomatoes: 4 pc
• Onion: 1 head
• Soy sauce: 1 tbsp
• Egg yolk: 4 pc
• Balsamic vinegar: 1 tbsp
• Butter: 100 g
• Wheat flour: 30 g
• Saffron: pinch
• Breadcrumbs: 30 g
• Chicken egg: 1 pc

Cooking steps

1. We make onion 'confit', or simply onion jam. It's better to prepare it in advance. Slice the onions into half rings, place them in a thick-walled saucepan, pour in soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, add a bit of sugar, and simmer on low heat until the mixture thickens.

   Required ingredients:

   • Onion: 1 head
   • Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
   • Balsamic vinegar: 1 tablespoon

2. We wash the skate fillet, dry it with a paper towel, season with salt and pepper, and bread it: first dip the fillet in flour, then in beaten egg white, and finally in breadcrumbs. Then we fry it in a pan.

   Required ingredients:

   • Stingray fillet: 120 g
   • Wheat flour: 30 g
   • Chicken egg: 1 piece
   • Breadcrumbs: 30 g

3. The next step is to prepare the hollandaise sauce. For this, we mix the yolks with butter, add saffron (which can be replaced with curry), salt, pepper, and carefully heat it in a water bath while constantly stirring until the desired consistency is reached.

   Required ingredients:

   • Egg yolk: 4 pieces
   • Butter: 100 g
   • Saffron:  pinch

4. Next, we prepare stewed vegetables. We sauté green beans and halved cherry tomatoes in olive oil for a few minutes, adding spices to taste.

   Required ingredients:

   • Black Eyed Peas: 70 g
   • Cherry tomatoes: 4 pieces
   • Saffron:  pinch

5. Now we place all the ingredients on a plate. We carefully arrange the 'confit' onion in the center, add the vegetables on top, then place the skate fillet, drizzle everything with hollandaise sauce, and garnish with thyme sprigs.
