A really simple and delicious quenelle recipe you can use with meat and fish and vegetables

[@martinslvsten428]

Dear Stephane. I was a decently skilled home cook before i found your channel some time ago. After watching countless of your videos, making several of the recipe's myself and using the techniques for my own country's cooking, i have become infinitely better. I cannot thank you enough for your work and your videos. And the cooking (and eating) joy you have brought me so far. Greetings from Denmark.

How would you do vegetables without them going watery? I think leeks would be amazing, should I sauté them first?

[@elstonieo]

Hi, I love your videos and will probably do the sauce course in the new year. If I don't, I would like to buy you a beer/glass of wine at christmas :D for all your culinary help. Maybe you should add this to the description like one of the other channels i subscribe to. watch?v=FPkPCHcg1tw check out his description.

[@marcvanpoucke5560]

A nice extra could be a 'bed' of spinach. Start with fresh spinach leaves that you put in a buttered pan. They are ready within a few minutes. On top, you add everything our chef has learned and if you want a cheese crust, put some grated cheese on top.

What a fantastic channel......A great chef of technical ability and method.....With the additional skillset of perfect explanation.....When I watch his videos, it makes me want to recreate his efforts !!

[@TheArbiter10]

We were taught how to make farce mousseline for a terrine when I was in culinary school, and I recall thinking to myself, "I'm never going to remember all of this." I don't remember it being this easy, but maybe that's just because I was young and impatient, lol. At any rate, I'm glad to have discovered your channel. Keep up the awesome work.

Chef Stephane, I used your recipe end to end for a nice little dinner with my wife. It is indeed excellent as you promised and properly show in this video. I used whole fresh trout and let the completed mixture rest in the refrigerator overnight. I added four or five shrimp into the trout bone stock reduction. I also added a few threads of saffron to finish the cream sauce. It was excellent and, most importantly, she loved it, too. Thank you, thank you from Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.

Excellent recipe and very clearly explained. It is delicious too. It needs a fairly powerful food processor, my cheap 500w processor was struggling. I used anchovies for the sauce instead of langoustine (which are difficult to find) and it worked well. Thank you

You make me want to teach my nephew to cook!!!

[@vilingwong6084]

Hello, thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I was so excited to discover a new way to cook fish! I am wondering if I could batch freeze/cook the fish quenelles? Should i shape them and freeze? Or should I shape, poach and then freeze? Thanks again for the recipe and taking the time to answer my question.

[@mjremy2605]

Merci Chef! It looks delicious. I can think of so many variations. Serving it cold in summer with a Mayonnaise mixture dip, or as a soup with a very thin broth and some parsley, yum! This way works very well too, an elegant dish. Superior Touch sells a good lobster bisque paste. They have all the bouillon pastes you can want. Costco has some of their basic Chicken, Beef, Veg pastes but they have mushroom, lobster, fish, turkey, you name it.

Omg I am going on a next level of cooking. It's going to be possibly challenging for the obvious reasons, but also because I'm vegan!!!! There are so many substitutions these days now. I know it won't be the same, but I'm going to Lear what I can and do what I can. Thank you❤️
