Red Mullet souffle; with a heart of sorrel, sage sauce and orange sauce.
The french-inspired light and fluffy souffle recipe adapted to create a more elaborate plate.
Ingredients:
1 large bunch of sorrel
100 gr. Bechamel
1 kilo of red mullet
200 gr. Sea bass fillet
1 egg και 1 white
1 carrot
1 leek
1 small pumpkin
White bread crumbs
Orange peel
Juice of 2 oranges
Lemon juice
Green and red pepper grains
Saffron
Cold butter
2 medium onions
Sage
50 gr. double cream
ouzo
chicken stock (if desired )
salt and pepper
Procedure:
Start with the puree of sorrel. Sauté the sorrel in a little butter put through the blender and add the béchamel, salt and pepper (a little lemon juice, if we want it slightly sourer). Clean the red mullet and make filets. Keep 4 or 8 pieces to be fried and from the rest, keep half to prepare the inside band of the soufflé. Put the remaining red mullet with the sea bass filet in the blender and make a puree adding an egg yolk. Remove from blender and add the finely chopped leak, carrot, pumpkin, salt, pepper and 2 egg whites whipped into meringue.
Orange Sauce
Brown the grains of green and red pepper in a frying pan. Deglaze with ouzo and add the orange juice. Leave to boil until it is reduced to half and mix in the cold butter.
Sage Sauce
Sautee the onions with 2- 3 sage leaves in butter. Add 200 gr of water or chicken stock. Put through the blender and strain. Add a little double cream.
Instructions
Spread butter over a band, measuring the size of the soufflé dish and place the red mullet fillets on the inside. Fill with mullet and sea bass puree and in the middle with puree of sorrel. Cover with fish puree.
Cook in the oven for 10 minutes at 200C.
Add orange peel and fresh grated pepper to the white bread hard tack, dip in it the red mullet fillets that were kept aside and fry them in butter. Serve the soufflé with the fried red mullet and the two sauces.
