Broiled Red Mullet Wrapped in Grape Leaves
- 6 small red mullet, each weighing about 8 ounces
- 12 grape leaves
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt
- 1 1/2 lemons, cut in wedges
- Ask the fishmonger to clean and scale the fish and to keep the heads on and give you the livers (they are a delicacy you can saute and eat while youre cooking).
- Place 2 grape leaves shiny side down on a plate so that together they are large enough to wrap up a fish.
- Brush with oil.
- Place a fish across the leaves, and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Roll up into a parcel, folding down the top leaf so that the head sticks out.
- Repeat with the remaining fish and leaves.
- Cook on a barbecue or under the broiler for about 45 minutes on each side.
- Serve with lemon wedges.
- Stuff the cavities with 4 crushed garlic cloves mixed with 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley.
- Sardines can be used instead of red mullet.
