Red Mullet With Prosciutto And Polenta
- 7 ounces polenta
- 2 ounces Parmesan grated, about 1/2 cup
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 pinch dried chili flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 14 ounces baby spinach about 10 cups
- 8 red mullet fillets about 3 oz each
- 3 1/2 ounces arugula about 3 cups
- 2 sprigs parsley chopped
- 4 slices prosciutto cut in half lengthways
- 1 shallot peeled and finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine
- pink peppercorns crushed, to season, optional
- Cook the polenta in 3 1/3 cups boiling salted water over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 mins. Stir in the Parmesan, 2 tbsp of the butter, cream, chili and half the nutmeg. Set aside and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, place 3 spinach leaves on top of each fish fillet along with a little arugula and a sprinkling of parsley. Wrap each fillet in a strip of prosciutto.
- Melt 1/2 tbsp of the butter in a saucepan, add the shallot and cook for 2 mins. Add the remaining spinach, arugula and nutmeg. Cook, stirring, for another 2-3 mins. Season to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the fish and fry for 5-7 mins until cooked through, turning once. Remove and keep warm. Pour the white wine into the pan to deglaze and add the remaining butter. Simmer for 3 mins. Serve with the fish, polenta and vegetables. Season with crushed pink peppercorns, if using.
