Ingredients

  • 1 large eel
  • 2 ounces butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup stock
  • 4 ounces Chablis wine
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • a medley of vegetables (e.g. carrots, cauliflower, celery, beans, tomatoes, etc.)

Directions

  2. In the meantime, separately boil the vegetables.
  3. Take out the pieces of eel, and keep them hot.
  4. Pass the liquor which forms the sauce through a sieve, and add the vegetables to this.
  5. Let the vegetables boil a little longer in the liquor, then arrange them in a dish.
  6. Place the pieces of eel on the vegetables and cover with the liquor. Serve very hot.

Notes

Any sort of fish will do as well for this dish.
