Directions
CARAMELISED BEETROOT
TO GARNISH
Wash and dry the fish. If large cut the fillets in half diagonally to produce 4 portions.
Place coriander and a few slices of lime on to a tray ready for cooking and season.
In a bowl mix together soy sauce, sugar, oil and brush over the fish. Place into a smoker, seal thoroughly and smoke for 2 minutes. Remove and finish the cooking process in the oven. Serve with picked leaves and the caramelised beetroot.
Beetroot: Heat the oil in a thick heavy based pan. Add the sliced onions and crushed garlic. Sweat off.
Cook for 20-30 minutes slowly, stirring occasionally. Add the julienne of beetroot and stir.
Add the honey, raspberry vinegar, brandy, red wine and stir in thoroughly.
Reduce the liquids until syrup consistency.
Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Then simmer for a further 15 minutes. Ladle into a bowl, spoon over some fromage frais, sprinkle with chopped chives and crisp dried beetroot and carrot for that extra finishing touch.
