How to:

Work with gelatine

Gelatine seems tricky to work with, but in fact it's really simple if you follow the basic rules. Firstly, make sure you don't boil any liquid containing it.

Then, when using powdered gelatine, ensure you sprinkle the powder over the liquid and do not pour the liquid over the gelatine or it will clump together.

Gelatine is sometimes sold as leaves. Substitute 3 gelatine leaves for each 12g sachet of powdered gelatine. Simply soak the leaves in cold water for 5 minutes until softened, then add to your mixture and stir until dissolved.

Recipe by: Jacques Erasmus
Serves: 6
Allergens: Wheat free / Gluten free
Dietary considerations: Fat conscious
Category: Easy / Great value
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
8-10 soft dried nectarines
1½ cups water
1 t gelatine
2 t fresh lemon juice
1 cup whipping cream
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 kg kingklip fillets, cut into portions
6 organic baby cabbage leaves
Orange rind (optional)
Cooking instructions:

Place the dried nectarines and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the nectarines are soft and the water reduced by half.

Sprinkle the gelatine over the nectarines and remove from the heat. Add the lemon juice, then blend the mixture until smooth. Cool to room temperature.

Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the nectarine purée. Chill for 1 to 2 hours, or until set. Season the kingklip then place in a steamer, along with the cabbage leaves, and steam for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through but still succulent.

Serve the kingklip in raw or lightly steamed cabbage leaves, topped with generous spoonfuls of the nectarine mousse. Garnish with thin slivers of orange rind if you wish.
