I scored in my work 'secret santa' this year with a cook book!!! Gordon Ramsay's World Kitchen - sounds like my sort of recipes hey :)
Well my daughter has chosen the first recipe that we should cook, Stuffed Red Mullet. It looked delicious but Red Mullet is a Mediterranean fish and so we used snapper.
Olives, anchovies, sundried tomatoes and garlic are pureed.
The potatoes I parcooked before tossing in warm duck fat and baking with rosemary, whole garlic cloves and lemon wedges.
The snapper was seasoned and stuffed with the delicious puree.
Then baked for 20 minutes.
Served with the crisp and incredibly tasty potatoes.
The soft moist fish was perfect with the rich olive puree.
After eating this meal I was looking at Australia's Sustainable Seafood guide. Did you know that snapper is not a better choice when it comes to seafood?
In the muppy household we try to make sensible ethical and environmental choices.
So from now on I am going to check before buying my seafood that I am making an appropriate choice by looking up this guide and chatting to my local fish monger.
Love the shots in this post! I aim to buy sustainable seafood when possible but sometimes there are no adequate choices in the shops.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious and gourmet meal.
ReplyDeletezomg duck fat potatoes!
ReplyDeleteYUM! The entire meal sounds sinfully delicious! Duck fat potatoes!
ReplyDeleteThis all looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! And it's interesting to find out which fish is sustainable and which fish isn't. It would be great if there was a guide at the shop for interested consumers.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious. I bet the fish was sensational. Love your images. I cook potatoes in duck too and they are just fabulous cooked that way. What a great gift to receive in your stocking! How useful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous feast Muppy!!!! Those potatoes look sensational! I love roasted potatoes.
ReplyDeleteThe combination of flavors looks irresistible Muppy! I am sure everyone in your family enjoyed this delightful and tasty meal!
ReplyDeleteLooks divine! I once bought some Orange Roughy and recieved a glare from another customer. Later I found out that it was one of the most unsustainable fish to buy. I felt terrible but since then have tried to make ethical choices when it comes to my seafood. I agree with Lorraine, there needs to be a chart or something
ReplyDeleteSounds like you definitely did win the office Secret Santa :) That dish looks amazing and I can imagine how flavoursome it would be.
ReplyDeleteOne day I'll get to try duck fat potatoes. One day. Yes, that guide is pretty confronting if you haven't had any idea about the bad fish to buy before!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing dish beautifully put together!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazingly tender and flakey, and anything by Gordon Ramsey HAS to be delicious!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of it from MasterChef but never use duck fat in my cooking before. I can see that it can really make your roast potatoes extra yummy!
ReplyDeleteI am dying to try those duck fat potatoes! Your fish looks delicious too with that tasty stuffing! This is a 5 star meal!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing dish!I love it!xxx
ReplyDeleteDuck fat potatoes are the way to go! Snapper, olives and anchovies sounds like such a delicious combination
ReplyDeleteawesome gift! I like how the snapped was stuffed.. so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove your cooking Muppy- so fresh and flavourful!
ReplyDeleteLovely recipe, such great flavours.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing that you let your daughter help to choose the menu. My kids rotate with soups. They are so much more engaged in trying new things when they have input into the family cooking.
