Red Mullet with Pea Risotto & Tapenade Dressing

by Danny Mills from Ramus Seafood Emporium Forty

Serves 6

Prep time 20 mins

Cooking time 40 mins

Ingredients

Tapenade Dressing

100g pitted black olives

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (no stalks)

1 anchovy fillet, very finely chopped

150ml olive oil

Pea Purée

300g frozen peas

200ml chicken stock

50g unsalted butter

Risotto

½ onion finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

50g unsalted butter

150g arborio rice

300-400ml chicken stock (warmed)

50g freshly grated parmesan

12 tbsp of the Pea Purée

Salt & Pepper

Red Mullet

12 red mullet fillets (2 per person if small) skin on, but pin-boned & scaled

2 cloves garlic, peeled & sliced

Squeeze lemon juice

Chopped sun dried tomatoes

Frisee lettuce for garnish

Method

To make the tapenade, put the olives, thyme, garlic & anchovy into a blender, turn on & slowly drizzle in the oil until all combined. Store chilled until needed.

To make the pea purée, place peas, stock & pinch of salt in a pan, cook until tender. 

Put in a liquidiser, add the butter & purée until smooth. Season to taste & set aside until needed.

To make the risotto, melt the butter in a wide based non-stick pan & gently cook the onion & garlic without colouring (about 2 mins).

Add the rice & stir well, coating the rice with the butter, onion & garlic mix.

Add the stock, a little at a time, stirring continuously so the rice does not stick & cooks evenly. 

When the stock has been absorbed, add a little more, continue until rice is almost cooked (it is cooked when firm, but must not be crunchy).  Now add the parmesan & pea purée, mix well, season & keep warm.

Next, drizzle some oil over the fish. Heat a large non-stick pan & place some grease proof paper in the bottom (this will help the skin from sticking, even in a non-stick pan). 

Place the fish in, skin side down, & cook for 2-3 mins until skin is crisp. 

Flip over, place some garlic on top, a squeeze of lemon & remove from heat. 

Allow to sit for 1-2 mins & serve
