Red Snapper with Fava Bean Puree
Red Snapper with Fav It works well as a pretty expensive main course. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian diet. A mixture of salt and pepper, olive oil, center-cut snapper fillets, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert.
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the beans. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the beans are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Drain the beans and reserve 1 cup of stock.
Place the drained beans and reserved stock in a blender or food processor.
Add the mint and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
In a large skillet, heat enough oil to fill the pan 1/4-inch deep, over medium-high heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes each side until brown and the center is just opaque.
Divide the fava bean puree between 4 serving plates.
Place a filet of red snapper on top of the puree.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Santi Sortesele Pinot Grigio with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.
