Mediterranean Tilapia Recipe


Tilapia Recipe Ingredients For 4 People


    * 4 Tilapia Fillets of about 6ozs./150g. each.
    * 12 good sized prawns/shrimp - raw in their shells.

For the Sauce

    * 1 Small onion - finely chopped.
    * 1 Clove of garlic bashed and chopped.
    * 1/2 a red bell pepper - diced.
    * 1 Medium courgette/zucchini - small dice.
    * 1 flaked red chilli.
    * A 125 ml glass of white wine.
    * 1/2 tsp. dried Herbes de Provence.
    * 1 tbs. Extra virgin olive oil.
    * Salt and freshly ground black pepper.


Method

   1. OK - first shell the prawns and set them aside with the fish fillets - season lightly with salt and black pepper.
   2. Now - in a Large Non Stick Fry Pan saute the prawn heads and shells over medium heat, in a little of the olive oil, making sure you crush them to get out all the juices.
   3. Add the wine and a little salt.
   4. Let the liquid reduce down a little.
   5. Put this stock through a seive to remove the prawn bits, and keep to one side.
   6. Right - you can then fry the onion and red pepper in the olive oil until browning nicely.
   7. Add the courgette/zucchini and cook for five minutes.
   8. Lower the heat - add the garlic and chilli and cook for a further two minutes.
   9. Add the herbs and the seived prawn shell stock and reduce to a sticky consistency.
  10. Cook the fish fillets and prawns on a hot Griddle or grill pan giving them plenty of colour.
  11. Now - assemble: spoon the thick, sticky sauce onto four warm dinner plates, the fish fillets on top and the prawns for crowning glory.
