Swordfish with Fruit and Shrimp Quenelle Preparation
Slice the zucchini thinly and marinate them in a container with oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and mint leaves for at least 1 hour
Choose excellent fresh swordfish, and have your trusted fishmonger cut beautiful central slices, so you’ll have little waste.
Remove skin and bone from each slice, chop the swordfish with a knife, and place it in a bowl.
Prepare the strawberry marinade.
If you have fresh strawberries, great, otherwise use frozen ones.
Chop them into very small pieces, and place them in a pot with 1 tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Melt the sugar by constantly crushing the strawberries to turn them into mush.
Then let it cool, and set aside.
Remove seeds from the pomegranate, peel and dice the mangos.
You can then mix them together, and add them to the chopped swordfish.
Incorporate the Greek yogurt and the grated zest of 2 lemons.
Adjust salt and pepper.
Peel the prawns, remove the head and shell.
Chop them with a knife, and place them in a small bowl.
Pour over the juice of one lemon, salt, pepper, and let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Line the inside of the cocottes with a slice of marinated zucchini, fill them with the swordfish mixture, sprinkle with pistachio crumbs, and place a quenelle of marinated prawns with a few drops of strawberry sauce on top of each cocotte.
Here you have the Swordfish with Fruit and Shrimp Quenelle.
