- 4 snapper fillets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ green pepper
- ½ red pepper
- 1 large onion
- 1 ripe tomato cut into cubes
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 50 ml olive oil
- 50 ml dry wine
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 400 grams of macaroni
- 500 ml of milk cream
- 200 grams of grated mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
For the garnish:
The first step in this recipe is to seal the fish meat.
In a frying pan, put a little salt and when it is hot, place the snapper fillets on the skin, this way it will brown and remain stretched, otherwise cooking causes it to shrink and lose its shape.
You must remain there, at medium heat, for 5 minutes. Afterwards, remove them from the sarten and reserve them.
To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onion cut into brunoise and when it begins to change its color and brown, add the peppers, garlic and then the diced tomato.
Stir to integrate all the elements. Check the salt and pepper level and let it cook for approximately 8 minutes. When it reaches a high temperature, add the wine and let this sauce reduce over low heat.
The wine reduction with the onion and peppers will begin to become syrupy. At this time add the snapper loins that you had preserved. Add them to the sauce and cover them carefully so that the portions do not break, otherwise the plating will be affected.
Let them cook, covered, over medium heat, for approximately 5 minutes. After this time they will be ready to plate.
Chef Iván presented this preparation accompanied by some macaroni with cheese sauce and a hot pigweed salad.
If you want to make this side dish, cook the macaroni conventionally and once they are soft, drain them and set them aside. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat and before it comes to a boil, add the mozzarella cheese. Stir well and add the macaroni to this delicious sauce. Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste.
