Red mullet, puff pastry, bell pepper and more


Start early with a
red bell pepper. Put under a hot grill till the skin turns black. Remove the skin, then put the paprika in a blender with some oil to make a coulis.

Defrost some puff pastry and cut out discs, about 4 cm diameter. Brush with beaten egg and g
rate Parmesan cheese over  the discs, put them in a 210°C oven for about 15 mins. 

In the meantime remove the skin and seeds of 2 ripe tomatoes, slice them finely and mix with  diced shallot to make a concassé. 


Put the red mullet fillets in a plastic bag with some flour, shake the bag till the fish is just covered. 


Fry the fish, skin side down for 3 mins, then turn over for another minute or two. 


Mix a handful of rucola with some peppery olive oil, the arrange the salad around a service ring. Put the tomato concassé in the middle, then the fish and the puff pastry on top. Finish with drops of bell pepper mousse. 


Enjoy!
