Recipe: Shredded Skate and Swiss Chard in Jurançon

1 In a flat-bottomed pot pour the ingredients for cooking the skate, add water that should cover it, bring to a boil for 5 minutes then plunge your skate wing, simmer for 3 minutes, cover and turn off the heat.

2 In a sauté pan melt a little butter, add your sliced Swiss chard greens, salt, pepper, cook gently covered for 7 to 8 minutes then turn off the heat, add the diced raw ham and cover.
After about twenty minutes remove your skate wing, peel it and shred it by hand into a bowl.

3 In a sauté pan, pour the Jurançon, reduce by a third, add the cream, salt lightly and pepper then pour in the shredded skate, stir well with a spatula, then mix in your braised Swiss chard, bring back to a good boil, taste and adjust the seasoning then pour everything into an earthenware dish, sprinkle with Parmesan and gratinize in the oven on grill setting.
