The vegetables. Wash the lamb's lettuce and refrigerate. Cut
the fennel into thick slices. Cut off the green leaves from a
couple of stalks of leek, remove the threads of the roots but do
not cut off the ends. Cut the spring onions halfway through the
green. Remove the root threads. Peel and quarter a few
onions.
Heat a grill pan on the barbecue and grill the vegetables in a
little olive oil. Season with fennel seeds, pepper and salt.
Close the lid of the barbecue and leave for 15 to 30 minutes
until the vegetables are done. Turn the vegetables a few times
in the grill pan during this time.
Make a fish sauce. Start with a roux of butter and plain flour
and add fish stock, white wine to taste and cream. Add a dash
of lemon juice and a tablespoon of capers with some of the
liquid from their jar.
The brill. Carve the dark skin of the brill down to the bone.
Place the fish on a barbecue platter, type plancha, and put it
on the barbecue grill. Close the lid and leave for 15 minutes
until the brill is cooked. There is no need to turn the fish.
On the dinner plate. Before serving, remove the skin and fillet
the fish. Place a nice piece of fish on each plate, topped with
fish sauce. In addition, a generous portion of grilled vegetables
and a handful of lamb's lettuce.
Garnish with sprigs of parsley. Serve with small kegs of oil and
vinegar. You can serve it with baked or grilled potatoes.
