Papabote Grillé Grilled Plover Recipes

GRILLED FILLET OF DOVER SOLE WITH RED PEPPER MARMALADE

Steps:

• Pick and blanch basil leaves. Refresh in iced water immediately. Dry thoroughly and place in a food processor. Add a little olive oil and puree. Scrape basil from sides of the jug and add more oil. Season with salt and pepper and place in a small saucepan. Place on the flat top or over a low flame and cook for 1/2 hour. Pass through a fine strainer pressing well to extract maximum flavor. Add finely chopped tomato concasse, chopped black olives, and chopped basil and chives. Finish with 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar.
• For the marmalade, cook red peppers under a preheated grill until blistered and well charred on all sides. Place in a bag and leave until cool enough to handle, then peel, deseed and cut into small dice. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and sweat until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and sweat for another minute. Add red peppers, chili, and sugar and sweat for 2 minutes. Add the red wine vinegar and boil until reduced by half. Stir in the stock, reduce the heat and simmer until very thick. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Keep warm.
• To assemble the dish, season the fish with salt and pepper, coat with olive oil and in a very hot grill pan, mark the fish and then transfer to baking tray. Cook in a preheated 200 degree oven for 4 minutes. Remove the fish and let rest for 1 minute. Place a bit of the red pepper marmalade in the center of a plate. Place the fish on top, and arrange some of the herb salad on top of the fish. Drizzle the basil oil and balsamic around the plate. Serve immediately.
• For the Herb Salad: Combine the vinegar, lime juice and olive oil and toss in the herbs, season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
