Description

You can prepare any fish this way — trout, salmon, or snapper. Sea bass is not a traditional Georgian fish, but it turned out to have a distinctly Western Georgian flavor.

Ingredients

Sea Bass - 2 pieces
Leek - 1 stalk
Tarragon - 2 stalks
Thyme - 5 stalks
Tomatoes - 2 pieces
Shallot - 3 heads
Eggplants - 1 piece
Dry White Wine - 3 fl oz
Green peppercorns - 10 pieces
Allspice berries - 10 pieces
Mild Chili Spice - 3 pieces
Lemon - 1 piece
Safflower Oil - 3 spoons
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Trim the bottom roots off the leeks and remove any tough leaves. Slice the stalk diagonally, blanch it briefly, and then sauté in a tablespoon of oil.

Step 2

Clean and gut the fish. Place it on a sheet of foil. Stuff each fish with a sprig of tarragon in its cavity. Top with thyme. (You can also add parsley to the gills and a sprig of rosemary alongside the thyme.) Season with pepper. Arrange some leeks nearby.

Step 3

Add the cross-cut tomatoes, peeled shallots, and randomly chopped eggplant. Drizzle with white wine and the remaining sunflower oil. Add red and allspice pepper, as well as chili pepper. Squeeze the juice of a lemon over everything and place the lemon in the foil as well. Season with salt. Splash in a little water and seal the foil.
