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.
