Modern RedactionIngredients:
1.5kg eels Method:Fresh eels are best for this, but they are a little difficult to prepare. Use the following process to do this: Slip a noose around the eel's head (hook under the gills) and fix the other end to a nail or hook. Using a very sharp knife cut the eel skin some 7cm below the head all the way around the body (don't go too deep otherwise you may nick the gall bladder you only want to remove the skin). Once you've gone all the way around peel the eel's skin back, pulling hard (it may be easier to use a pair of pliers). The whole skin will come off like a glove. When done clean the fish by slitting the belly open and removing the intestines. Cut the eels into portion-sized pieces then lay these in a baking dish and sprinkle the salt, pepper and saffron over the top. Add just enough red wine to come up to the top of the eels. Cover the dish and place in an oven pre-heated to 190°C. Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the eels are thoroughly cooked and tender when tested wit ha fork. |
