  • ● Cold Butter – 2 ounces, cut into cubes
    ● 2 Eggs Whites
    ● White Fish – 5 pounds
    ● Heavy Cream – 4 ounces

Directions

Prepare Batter
1. Add white fish to a food processor and start blending.
2. Once the fish breaks down slightly, stream in egg whites.
3. Continue mixing and add butter one tablespoon at a time.
4. Once butter is incorporated, add cream, salt and pepper. Puree until the mixture is
smooth and light.
5. Transfer fish mixture into a bowl and let rest.

Shape and Poach
1. Once rested, use two large spoons to form the dough into quenelles.
a. Fill one spoon with the mixture and scoop the batter back and forth between the
spoons until the mixture has reached a smoothed, rounded and tapered look.
2. Once shaped, gently lower each quenelle from the spoon into the boiling water. Let boil
for 3-5 minutes each or until the internal temperature has reached 135 degrees.
3. Once all your quenelles have been poached, place them into an oven safe dish and
cover with the sauce of your choice.
