Braised Eel in Dill Sauce

(Lower Saxony) Chop tarragon, spring onions and a little bit of dill and whisk. Fill the eel fillets with the herbs, tie them with a spaghetti and season with salt and pepper. Sauté the eel fillets in a saucepan with oil, add a few diced shallots and extinguish with a little fish stock and white wine. Add the bay spice and steam everything together for about 8 minutes.

In the meantime, remove the skin from the cucumber, cut it in half, remove the seeds with a spoon and then dice it. In a frying pan with oil, sauté the remaining shallot cubes with the cucumber and season with salt and pepper.

Remove the eel and keep it warm. Fill up the sauce with the remaining wine and fish stock and boil to a third. Take out the bay leaf seasoning. Stir in the Krem Double and thicken the sauce with a little cold butter. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the remaining finely chopped dill.

Arrange the eel, remove the spaghetti and cover with the sauce. Serve with the stewed cucumbers and parsley potatoes, if desired.

Our tip: As an alternative to fresh herbs, you can also use frozen ones – these also have a fresh taste!
