LET’S BEGIN WITH BULGUR
Boil the kettle. Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl with 100ml of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and set aside until rehydrated, 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
POMODORO-STYLE SAUCE
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the rub, and ½ the chilli flakes (to taste). Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the tomato passata and 50ml of water. Mix until combined and bring to a simmer.
POACHING AWAY
Once the sauce is simmering, gently lower the yellowtail into the sauce. Pop on the lid and leave to poach until cooked through and flaky, 8-10 minutes (flipping the fish halfway). Remove the fish from the sauce. Stir ¾ of the crème fraîche, the peas, and a splash of water (if necessary) through the sauce. Season.
FRESH LEAVES
In a bowl, combine the shredded salad leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
DINNER IS SERVED!
Plate up the bulgur wheat. Top with the yellowtail smothered in the pomodoro-style sauce. Serve the dressed leaves on the side. Dollop over the remaining crème fraîche. Sprinkle over the chopped oregano and the remaining chilli flakes (to taste). Great work, Chef!
