Tim McNulty's Skate Wings Piccata
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 6 skate wings, each 6 to 8 inches across
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 cup flour
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 pound white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- Fresh Italian parsley, chopped, for garnish
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil and the melted butter.
- Season the wings generously with salt and pepper and dredge two of them in the flour.
- Then dip them into the egg and coat them with bread crumbs.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and butter mixture in a large nonstick skillet and saute over medium heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes for each side.
- Transfer the wings to a warm platter and repeat with the remaining pieces, adding an additional tablespoon of the oil and butter mixture to the pan before cooking each batch.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the oil and butter mixture to the pan and saute the mushrooms over medium-low heat until soft and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
- Raise the heat to high and add the lemon juice, capers and 3 tablespoons of water.
- Boil for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
- Season with salt and pepper and pour the mushrooms over the wings.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
