Method

For the Skate Fish

  1. 1

    Sear the Fish

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the skate fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets in the hot skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Drizzle lemon juice over the fish before serving.

For the Lemon Spinach Risotto

  1. 2

    Cook the Risotto

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a simmer. In another large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced shallots and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the simmering broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until absorbed. Repeat until rice is creamy and al dente (about 18-20 minutes). Stir in fresh spinach, lemon zest, and Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasoning if needed.

For the Tomato Jalapeno Confit

  1. 3

    Prepare the Confit

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). In a baking dish, combine cherry tomatoes, sliced jalapeno, whole garlic cloves, olive oil, and salt. Add fresh thyme on top. Bake for 1 hour, until tomatoes are soft and bursting.
