Fried flounder with mashed potatoes and tomato-pear sauce

Ingredients

Flounder - 3 pieces
New Potatoes - 12 pieces
Pears - 3 pieces
Tomatoes - 2 pieces
Lemon - ½ piece
Courgette - 1 piece
Sweet Red Onion - ½ piece
Natural Yogurt - 8.8 oz
Bay leaf - 1 piece
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Salt - to taste
Olive Oil - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

First, I prepare the sauce. I grate the pears, onion, peeled cucumber, and deseeded tomatoes on a fine grater. I add salt, pepper, and a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

I wash the potatoes and leave them with the skin on, then boil them with the bay leaf. I add salt to the water. I drain the water as soon as the potatoes are ready, but not all of it — I leave some in the pot.

Step 3

I cut off the head of the flounder, gut the body, and remove the skin. I add salt.

Step 4

I mash the potatoes with the remaining water. I usually don't overdo it. I squeeze in some lemon juice, add yogurt, ground pepper, and lemon zest. I mix it well. Low-fat sour cream can be used instead of yogurt.
