Ingredients:

  • 1,5 kg turbot
  • 1 glass Sarpa Oro Poli
  • 1 glass white wine
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 30 g butter
  • 2 small onions
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 sprig of parsley
  • 1 sprig of basil
  • 1 tbs potato starch
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 240 g quinoa

Preparation:

Wash the vegetables, dice carrots and onions.
Place the vegetables in a pot (possibly an earthenware pot), add the Sarpa Oro, white wine, the herbs, salt and pepper, in order to make a marinade. Place on low heat and cook gently for about 20 minutes.
In the meantime, wash the turbot under running water, cut it in order to make 4 skinless fillets.
Wash the quinoa, place it in a pot and cover with 480 g water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
In a non-sticking pan, pour the extra virgin olive oil and fry the fillets on high heat. Then, dip them carefully in the pot containing the marinade and keep on cooking for 5 more minutes.
Drain the fish and thicken the marinade by adding the potato starch and butter.
Presentation: use a pastry cutter to shape the quinoa on the serving plate. Lay the turbot fillet on the top, drizzle some marinade on it.
