IN the final edition of a home cooking series with the Olive Press, Chef Lorenzo Gasparrini from La Mesa Escondida at Hotel Petunia Ibiza shares another of his favourite dishes inspired by the Balearic Islands.

We have already cooked up a storm in the kitchen making a delicious cod mantecado with pea and onion cream in vinegar and an innovative squid ink ravioli stuffed with sea bass and orange.

In this week’s edition, Lorenzo offers his recipe for a bream tartare with rocket, apple and honey drizzle, making the most of the gilt-head fish to create a refreshing plate that is quick to prepare and absolutely mouthwatering.

For those fortunate to live in Ibiza, all of the dishes found in this special series can be ordered through the restaurant’s home delivery service, or at the recently opened eatery itself.

Bream tartare with rocket, apple and honey drizzle

Ingredients

  • 100g of cleaned gilt-head
  • 50g of honey
  • 50ml of lime juice
  • Salt
  • Olive oil
  • 8 slices of green apple
  • 20g of rocket

Recipe

Let’s start by making the tartare.

Cut the gilthead into squares measuring approximately 1cm by 1cm and leave the fish to marinate in a little salt and oil for a few minutes so that it loses part of its liquid.

Whilst waiting, prepare the sauce by beating the honey and lemon juice with a some more oil and a pinch of salt.

Place the tartare on a plate and season with a tablespoon of the sauce previously prepared.

Decorate with plenty of rocket leaves and slices of the green apple.
