Steamed Minted Whiting with Soured Cream
Ingredients
- 4 whiting fillets skinned
- 1 bunch mint
- 5 floz soured cream
- 1/2 lemon
- Freshly ground black pepper
- a little oil
- freshly grated nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Wash the fish and pat dry with kitchen paper. Finely chop 1 tablespoon mint leaves and stir into the soured cream - add a little squeeze of lemon juice and a grinding of pepper to taste.
- Cut out and lightly oil four sheets of aluminium foil large enough to parcel up each fillet.
- Lay a fillet on each sheet, season lightly with a grating of nutmeg, a pinch of salt and a grinding of pepper, and sprinkle over a few bruised mint leaves and a squeeze or two of lemon juice.
- Bring up the edges of the foil and crimp into loose parcels. Steam for 8 to 10 minutes, accordingto the thickness of the fillets.
- Meanwhile, gently warm the soured cream and mint mixture in a small pan, it should be just lukewarm.
- The fish can be served in their parcels on warm plates — neatly fold back the foil and pour the lukewarm soured cream mixture around the fillets so that it mingles deliciously with the cooking juices.
- Garnish with whole mint leaves and serve at once.
