HE stroll from A MOMENT IN THE FREEZER THAT THERE ... A sprig of thyme, A BREATH OF IMAGINATION, a few tomatoes, a pinch of fleur de sel and a delicious dinner!
For 2 persons:
- 2 mullets
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- a little sugar
- 100g rice
- 3 dried tomatoes
- 1 / 2 preserved lemon (if I had, instead I would rather put black olives)
- a drizzle of olive oil
- 1 piece of butter (about 20g)
- 1 clove garlic
- a branch of thyme
- basically salt, pepper
- Zest of lime for decoration
- Prepare tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes into 2 in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with sugar and let confit in the oven for twenty minutes at 160 degrees.
- Cook the fish: In a large skillet, melt butter in a little olive oil, add the garlic and red mullet and cook steadily recovering juice to water the fish meunière. Return mullets and proceed the same way, basting with garlic butter, to finish cooking. Pepper and set aside.
- Prepare rice: Depending on your taste for cooking and seasoning; conventional water with salt, pepper and olive oil (as here) or how pilaf.
- The Service: Remove the whole red snapper in the dish, sprinkle with sea salt, add a few spoonfuls of rice and tomato confit and a mixture of dried tomatoes and chopped candied lemon. Garnish with lime zest and a sprig of thyme. Drizzle a little lemon juice
Bon appetite!
