      Title: Basil Pesto Crusted Skate
 Categories: Seafood, Herbs, Cheese
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 lg Bunch basil; leaves only
      1 lg Clove garlic; crushed
      1 tb Walnuts
      7 tb Extra virgin olive oil
     25 g  Pecorino Romano; or
           - Parmagiano Reggiano
      2    Skate wings; halved
      2 tb Plain flour
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
     15 g  Capers; 1/2 oz
 
  Set the oven @ 200ºC/400ºF/Gas Mark 6.
  
  Place the basil, garlic, walnuts and 6 tablespoons of olive
  oil into a food processor and blend until a paste is formed.
  
  Transfer to a bowl and stir in the cheese. Cover and
  refrigerate.
  
  Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a
  heavy based frying pan. Wash the skate wings and pat dry.
  
  Season the flour with salt and freshly ground black pepper
  and lightly coat the skate wings on both sides, shaking off
  any excess. Sear the skate quickly in the frying pan,
  approximately 1-2 minutes each side, then transfer to a
  baking tray.
  
  Spread the pesto evenly over the skate wings and bake in the
  oven for 15-20 minutes, until the flesh is firm and no
  longer translucent.
  
  Toss the capers in the hot frying pan until crispy and leave
  to one side. Serve the skate sprinkled with the crispy
  capers.
  
  Notes: This dish is delicious served with roasted tomatoes
  and warm crusty bread.
