Irish Rover’s Nut Encrusted Basa

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon white pepper

6 4-6 oz pieces of basa

6 eggs

2 cups whole milk

2 cups ground cashews

2 cups ground walnuts

1 cup toasted bread crumbs

1 to 3 oz cooking oil

2 to3 oz orange juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix the flour, salt and pepper. Toss the fish in the seasoned flour. Combine the eggs and milk to make an egg wash. Dredge the seasoned fish in egg wash, then in the breading mixture, trying not to get a lot of the egg wash. Mix the cashews, walnuts and bread crumbs. Dredge the fish in the nut mixture. Heat a sauté pan or a skillet with two or three oz of your favorite cooking oil (Irish Rover uses canola) over medium heat. Gently place fish in pan and let cook for at least one to two minutes before turning them over. If the fish is turned too soon, the breading won’t hold together. When the fish appears lightly browned, turn and cook one to two more minutes. Place the pan in the oven and bake for five minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and pour two to three ounces of orange juice in the skillet to deglaze. Remove the fish from the pan and serve. Ladle two to three oz of orange brandy sauce on the fish just before serving.

Orange Brandy Sauce

Ingredients:

2 oranges

1 oz unsalted butter

2 oz brandy

1 cup orange juice

1 cup water

1 cup heavy cream

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon white pepper

Zest, then peel the oranges and separate the pieces. In a small sauce pan, sauté the orange pieces in the butter for three to four minutes. Remove from heat and carefully add brandy. Return to the heat and add the orange juice and water. Let simmer four to five minutes. Add the heavy cream and let simmer ten more minutes. Pour through a fine mesh strainer. Place back on the stove and add the orange zest, salt and pepper. Reduce for 10 minutes on low heat.

9 egg yolks

1/2 cup sugar

pinch of salt

3 cups heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon instant espresso powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat cream, espresso powder and vanilla in a saucepan until almost boiling, stirring occasionally. Steam will start to rise when stirred. Meanwhile, combine egg yolks, sugar and pinch of salt in a mixing bowl and mix until blended.

Pour mixture through a sieve and then pour into 6-oz ramekins. place ramekins in a 9" by 13" baking pan and fill pan about half full of warm water. Place in a 325 degree pre-heated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. Test by carefully placing a sharp thin knife in the middle of one of the cups. if it comes out clean, the brulees are done.

Remove cups from pan and chill the desserts for 1 to 2 hours. Just before serving, sprinkle with a thin layer of sugar and heat with a torch to melt sugar. Be careful not to burn the sugar. it will turn a golden caramel color as it melts. If it is burning too fast, wave torch back and forth across sugar so it doesn't overheat. Top of dishes will be very hot so handle with caution. (serves 6)
