Crumbed Seabass With Rhubarb Sauce

Serves 2

Ingredients for the sauce:

• 250g rhubarb, chopped into 2-3cm pieces
• a few knobs of butter
• small thumb sized piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
• A splash of red wine vinegar
• a pinch of sugar
• 150ml water

Ingredients for the crumbed fish:

• 150g flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 x 20g PROPERCORN Lightly Sea Salted
• Serve with greens, new potatoes and lemon wedges

Method:

Step 1

Stick your spuds on and while they’re cooking, add the rhubarb to a pan with a knob of butter, the ginger, red wine vinegar, sugar, water and a pinch of salt. Once boiled, turn down the heat and stir occasionally, adding a little water if necessary. Cook the rhubarb down to a smooth consistency, leaving a few pieces here and there.

Step 2

Place three?plates side by side on the counter. On the first add the flour, spread evenly and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat one egg in the bowl and pour onto the second plate. Blitz the popcorn in a food processor until fluffy, and add to the third plate spreading evenly.

Step 4

Place the seabass in the flour, covering both sides and shake. Repeat, with the egg mix. Firmly press the seabass into the crumb mix, covering both sides and shake.?

Step 5

Heat the oil in a frying pan. To test when ready, add a pinch of the?crumb – if it sizzles, it’s ready to use. Fry skin side down for 2 minutes then turn over and cook for a minute or so.

Step 6

Remove the fish and place on a few sheets of paper towel to soak up some of the oil. Serve with some wilted greens or samphire, along with the spuds and a good drizzle of rhubarb sauce.
