sea bream with
sauce Kerkennaise
Preparing the ingredients. Peel the sweet
potatoes and cut them into slices. Cut unpeeled
courgettes into slices, do the same with a
cucumber and a few onions. Make a bouquet
garni from rosemary, thyme and sage. Remove
the zest from an unsprayed lemon and cut the
lemon itself into slices.
The fish. Season the abdominal cavity of the
sea bream with salt and pepper. Stick a
bouquet garni in it. Grill the fish in a griddle pan
for 4 minutes on each side until the meat is
cooked through. Keep the baked fish warm in
an oven on 85°C.
Spray the cucumber, zucchini, onion and sweet
potato with olive oil and fry them in a dry
griddle pan until cooked through. Season with
salt and pepper while baking. Sprinkle
watercress seeds over it. You can buy these in
Turkish specialty stores.
Kerkennaise. This cold Tunisian tomato salad
gives a refreshing touch to this dish. You can
make this salad in advance and keep it in the
fridge.
Skin about five tasty tomatoes, especially no
water pockets. Put them in boiling water for 20
seconds and immediately cool them under the
tap. Cut the skin and remove it. Cut them into
quarters and remove the seeds. Chop the
tomatoes in the cutter, but they must not
become mushy. Chop a bunch of parsley leaves
in the cutter. Press five cloves of garlic and fry
them in a little olive oil in a pan. Let it cool
down. Finely chop some semi-dried cherry
tomatoes. Chop some mint leaves.
Mix the diced tomatoes and the cooled crushed
garlic with the olive oil, chopped parsley, finely
chopped dried tomatoes, a few tablespoons of
tomato puree and chopped mint. Season with a
pinch of cumin powder, pepper and salt. Put the
preparation in the fridge until use.
Finishing off. Place the fish on the plate and
arrange the vegetables and the cold
Kerkennaise salad next to it. Finish with olives,
zest and a lemon slice.
