Sea bass fillet with braised puntarelle, agretti and EVO oil

Ingredients:
  • Sea bass fillet g 300
  • Puntarelle g 150
  • Agretti g 120
  • Garlic no. 1 clove
  • Extra virgin olive oil no. 4 tablespoons
  • Mild white vinegar no. 1 tablespoon
  • Light vegetable broth ml 100
  • Salt to taste
  • White pepper to taste
  • Edible flowers to taste
Procedure:

Trim the agretti by removing the tough ends, blanch them briefly in salted water, and cool them in an ice bath to preserve their bright color.

Trim the puntarelle and gently braise them in a pan with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, garlic, white vinegar, and a little vegetable broth until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

Sear the sea bass fillet in a pan, skin-side down, with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil until the skin is crispy and golden. Finish cooking the flesh side, keeping the fish tender and juicy.

Sauté the agretti with the remaining extra virgin olive oil and a light sprinkle of white pepper. Arrange the braised puntarelle at the base of the plate, place the sea bass fillet on top, and finish with a nest of agretti. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with an edible flower.

Oil and Flavor: Perfect Pairings for Your Recipes

We recommend a Sicilian PGI extra virgin olive oil, characterized by aromas of ripe tomato and aromatic herbs. Its mild spiciness complements the delicacy of the sea bass and harmonizes with the tangy note of the vinegar.
