Serves two

Ingredients:

1 large wing of skate (900g comfortably serves 2) cut in half.

peppercorns

dash of white wine

capers

unsalted butter (100g)

For the beurre noir:

In a small saucepan melt the butter over a low heat. It will separate; let the solids sink to the bottom. they will brown nicely.... when this happens, add some chopped capers.

For the skate:

Put water, peppercorns and a dash of white wine into a frying pan. You might need to use two depending on how big your wing is.

When the water is simmering, add the wings. They'll take about 12 mins - turn over half way through.

Serve with green beans and new potatoes. Drizzle beurre noir over the top.

Also tasty with coconut rice and roasted plantains.
