Ingredients

Procedure

For the Brown Sugar Romesco:

1. Blend all romesco ingredients. Coat the eel with the romesco and let sit for at least one hour.

For the Sherry-Mustard Seed Vinaigrette:

1. Add the mustard seed to a pot and add enough cold water to cover. Bring the pot to a boil and strain. Repeat this process 4 more times. Add the sugar, Dijon mustard, and sherry vinegar to a mixing bowl and whisk. Stream in the oil to form an emulsification with the vinegar mixture.
2. Season with salt and add mustard seed.

For the Eel:

1. On a plancha add a thin layer of oil. Remove the eel from the romesco and wipe off any excess sauce. Sear the eel on both sides until cooked through.

For Assembly:

1. In a sauce pot, heat the romesco sauce. Place a dollop (2 tablespoons) of romesco on the plate. Place the seared eel on the romesco, pressing down so it lays flat. Spoon the sherry-mustard seed vinaigrette (1 tablespoons) next to the fish to form a small pool of sauce. Garnish with 3-5 various mustard greens.
