Middle-Eastern Sea
Bream Recipe
Ingredients
-
1.75kg/4 lb sea bream or 2 smaller sea bream
-
30ml/2 tbsp olive oil
-
75g/3 oz pine nuts
-
1 large onion, finely chopped
-
450g/1 lb ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
-
75g/3 oz raisins
-
1.5ml/1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1.5ml/1/4 tsp mixed spice
-
45ml/3 tbsp chopped fresh mint
-
225g/8 oz long grain rice
-
3 lemon slices
-
300ml/1/2 pint fish stock
Serves 4
Method:
-
Trim, gut and scale the sea bream. Meanwhile,
preheat the oven to 175C.
-
Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan and
stir-fry the pine nuts for 1 minute. Add the onions
and continue to stir-fry until softened but not
colored.
-
Add the tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes, then
stir in the raisins, cinnamon, mixed spice and mint.
-
Add the rice and lemon slices. Transfer to a large
roasting tin and pour the fish stock over the top.
-
Place the fish on top and cut several slashes in the
skin. Sprinkle over a little salt, mixed spice and
cinnamon and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35
minutes for large fish or 2025 minutes for smaller
fish.
Notes: If you prefer, use
almonds instead of pine nuts. Use the same quantity of
blanched almonds and split them in half before
stir-frying.
