Local Recipe Suggestion

Roast Sea Bass with tomato and basil couscous
& saffron dressing

Sweat some shallots and garlic in a little olive oil, add couscous & tomato consommé and simmer until the liquid us absorbed. Add ripped basil leaves and season with fresh lemon juice, rock salt and a few concasse tomatoes (fresh tomatoes skinned and finely chopped).
Pan fry the Sea Bass in a little olive oil, skin side down for 3 minutes then turn and fry for a further 2 minutes.
Remove the Sea Bass, and warm the remaining olive oil with white wine vinegar, pinch of saffron, more concasse tomatoes and finely chopped chives.
Present the Sea Bass on top of the couscous, surround it with a tomato and basilrouille, and drizzle over the infused saffron oil.
