Ingredients

8 garfish, scaled, butterflied
plain flour, to dust
1 tbs olive oil

8 large mussels

Sauce
2 tbs olive oil
1 red onion, chopped finely
1 long red chilli, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 ripe vine tomatoes, chopped finely
1 tbs baby capers
125ml (1/2 cup) white wine

½ cup chopped basil

Stuffing
½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
½ cup finely grated parmesan
2 medium vine tomatoes, finely chopped
¼ cup finely chopped garfish flesh
¼ cup finely chopped parsley
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 garfish fillet, finely chopped
1 tbs olive oil, approximately

Notes

• If you prefer a less spicy sauce, deseed chilli in sauce.
• Order your butterflied garfish from your fishmonger in advance. If unavailable, you could try using whiting or flathead.
• Tomato sauce can be made up to two days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

• For a great garnish, finish with some fresh basil leaves and thinly sliced chilli.

Method

1. To make sauce, heat oil in a large deep frying pan. Cook onion and chilli until very soft. Add garlic, tomatoes, capers and wine. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 30 minutes or until thickened. Season well. Stir in basil.

2. To make stuffing, combine all ingredients except oil in a bowl. Add enough oil to bring mixture together and give a ‘crumble’ texture.

3. Lay garfish, skin-side down, on the bench. Divide filling among garfish. Roll to enclose, securing with two toothpicks. Dust in seasoned flour.

4. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Cook garfish for 1 minute, turning, until golden brown (you only want to crisp and colour the fish, not cook it through). Add to tomato sauce in a single layer, along with mussels. Cook covered for about 5-8 minutes or until fish is cooked through and mussels are open.

5. Serve stuffed garfish with mussels and sauce.
