Whole baked gilt-head bream with Clemengold clementines and thyme butter

by Jeanne Horak on September 13, 2012 9 Comments in Fish, Fruit, Gluten-free

Gilthead bream with clementines 1 © J Horak-Druiff 2012

 

When I was a kid, my parents had clearly not read the parenting book that advised parents to “give your kids some freedom and space to grow”.  Oh no, instead they had opted for the book that said “be very careful, absolutely EVERYTHING poses a potential danger to your offspring!”. Sigh.  The list of things we were not allowed to do or that were incredibly dangerous was long and immutable, from the fairly sensible (“no child of mine will ride a motorcycle”) to the faintly ridiculous (“no you may not at the age of 16 sleep over at your girlfriend’s house unless her mother and I have agreed the terms and conditions in triplicate in writing”). To get around The List, I usually tried two strategies:  either I would ask  her when the other person involved in my request was already in the room with us (“Please, mom, can I sleep over at Anne-Marie’s house tonight?”), knowing that she could not come up with a reason to refuse that was not faintly insulting to my friend or her parents.  Alternatively, I would explain how “everybody else is allowed to do it” (ear piercing, sleepovers, going to movies without grownups – the usual).  This was usually met with the unchallengeable “If all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you just go ahead and do the same?”.

Evidently, my mother had also not read the chapter entitled “The Teenager’s Unshakeable Desire to Fit In”

The funny thing about that particular teenage desire is that I outgrew it, just as easily as I outgrew the desire to paint my fingernails (and bedroom walls!) black; my love for mini skirts work with ankle boots (well, it was the 80s…); and my ambition to have spiral-permed hair (I kid you not).  It wasn’t an overnight change, but by the time I was in my mid-20s I really did not care what people thought about what I chose to do, and I certainly did not do anything because everybody else was doing it. As all my friends took up smoking, I laughed and had another beer instead. As many of my contemporaries rushed off into marriage to their childhood sweethearts, I refused to settle for the bloke I was with and carried on searching for Mr Right (in all the wrong places, but that’s a whole other story) until I was 30. As those same friends set about the expected task of having babies and buying white picket fences, I upped sticks, moved to London and lost what little interest I may have had in producing mini-me. Being a lecturer for 8 years also meant that I no longer feel a thing if a roomful of people stare at me. Poor Nick, on the other hand, has never lectured and doeskind of care about what people are saying and consequently spends a lot of time hissing questions at me: “Why are you the only person at the gallery opening wearing trainers?” (Umm, because it was a long walk from the station and I respect my feet.) “Why do you carry a camera bag when everybody else wears a handbag?” (Erm… because I have a big camera that I like to take with me. Obviously!) Why are your sunglasses permanently perched on your head, summer or winter? (Because I freaking hate alice bands!).  But me?  I just kind of meander off and do my own thing.

Which explains why, when the lovely folks at Clemengold (who also generously sponsored the Food Blogger Indaba) sent out a crate of Clemengold clementines to a number of food bloggers, most of them made sweet dishes.  But me?  I meandered off into savoury territory.  But before we get to that, what is a Clemengold?  It’s an easy-peel, seedless citrus fruit with a distinctive deep orange colour – actually a type of late-ripening clementine known as a Nadorcott but marketed under the brand name ClemenGold.   Based in South Africa, ClemenGold owns the licensing rights to the brand and controls the quality of the brand worldwide through contracts with growers in South Africa, South America, Morocco and Australia.  Requirements for a fruit to be labelled as a ClemenGold are strict:   it must have 48% juice content; an 11% Brix (sugar) level; an acidity of between 0.7% and 1.3%; and it must be virtually seedless. Which all combines to mean that when you grab a ClemenGold, you are assured of a fragrant, juicy quailty fruit – something that I can attest to after munching my way through a couple of kilos!! (Incidentally, while slicing the Clemengolds for the recipe, I discovered that the odd looking but rather fabulous slicer-spreader Wuesthof knife given to Indaba participants by Yuppiechef is ideal for the job, cutting cleanly through the peel and soft, juicy flesh – without shredding it.  Thanks Yuppiechef!)

So what did I make?  After some though, I decided that it would be the perfect opportunity to recreate a wonderful recipe that I enjoyed at The Depot in Barnes.  Although gilthead bream is not a fish I often see in my local supermarkets, it is well worth venturing a little further afield to find it.  It is the member of the sea bream family most highly prized for its sweet firm flesh, and can be identified by the golden band on its forehead.  It is farmed all year round but go for organic if you can, which is stocked at lower densities and fed on more sustainable feed. The recipe is simplicity itself: all you have to do is season the butter, slice the Clemengolds and stuff the fish before baking, but it delivers huge rewards in terms of taste. The Clemengolds are a dream in this recipe – sweeter than lemons which might overwhelm the sweet flesh, and juicy enough to infuse the entire fish with their flavour and juices. As a dinner party show-stopper that you can whip up in minutes, this recipe takes a lot of beating – and this is one instance where you should follow the crowd and do exactly what I do 🙂

Gilthead bream is one of the tastiest and most sought-after members of the bream family. This sweet citrus and herby butter make for an easy yet moist and flavourful dish.
Author: Jeanne Horak-Druiff
Recipe type: Fish, main course, entree
Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 whole gilt-head bream, scaled, gutted and cleaned
  • 30g butter, softened
  • 2 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • zest from 1 Clemengold (or use any clementine)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 whole Clemengold, sliced into thin slices (or use any clementine)
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the butter, thyme, zest, salt and pepper.
  3. Rinse the fish inside and out and pat dry with paper towels.  I usually enlarge the body cavity slightly by slicing it open a little more towards the tail, to make more room for stuffing.  Make 2 slashes in the skin of both sides the fish, being careful not to slice the flesh if you can.
  4. Sprinkle the fish inside and out with a little salt, then generously spread butter inside the body cavity of each. Place half the Clemengold slices in body cavity of each fish.
  5. Lightly oil a piece of aluminium foil large enough to wrap one fish. Place the fish on the foil and wrap up so that it is sealed.  Repeat with the second fish.
  6. Bake at 180C for about 20 minutes. I forgot, but at the end of 20 minutes, open the foil parcels, turn the grill onto high and return the fish to the oven for a few minutes - just until beginning to brown.
  7. Serve immediately, with a creamy, lemony Chardonnay and topepd with any of the butter that might be left over.

    OOh I adore citrus in savory foods (try salmon with kumquats). Love the look of this dish especially with all those lovely clementines. I remember when you told me about how careful your parents always were. Surprisingly my parents although strict allowed me a bit of freedom. And look at us now – I think we turned out just fine. It#s my job now to make sure the same happens to Soeren. This resonates with my latest post!

    The clementines even look juicy and delicious. I have always marched to my own silent drum and had strict parents., which meant a few rebellious years and being a lenient mom, but we all turned out OK:D

    I think my parents must have read the same book that yours have read. I did rebel against all the rules quite a bit, no doubt to my parents dismay but hey, it did indeed all turn out alright. Love the idea of pairing the fish with the clemengold, which I think is basically a mandarins right?

    Last night a new reality show started on SA television which is billed as the biggest outdoor cooking competion in the world. Its called the Ultimate Braaimaster and its done like Top Chef. 15 teams of 2 (the braaimaster and his braai buddy) take part against each other and they going to do braai challanges all over South Africa. The recipies used last night was hectic already. You would love the show.

    Like you, I was quite different from the others. One of a kind, and it has never changed as I like to differentiate myself from the mass (Well, I can’t help it as it is the way I am)…

    That dish is fabulous and your pictures are lovely!

    Cheers,

    Citrus and fish, it’s a classic for a reason. Love this, Jeanne!
    Also: your “ambition to have spiral-permed hair” sounds very interesting, any pictures to illustrate?!;)

What better way to celebrate the day when the clocks go forward to British Summer Time than with  a glorious photo of St Paul's Cathedral shyly peeping out from a cloud of pink cherry blossoms against a perfect blue sky! 🌸🌞

London is awash in glorious blossoms at the moment, from Greenwich Park in the east to Kew Gardens in the west, and the fun part is trying to catch each type of tree just when the blossoms are at their best.

The cherry plums have been exploding into clouds of small white blossoms and sweet fragrance for a few weeks already; and the early flowering cherry trees, camellias and magnolias are coming into their own right now. Plus we still have the late-flowering cherries, rhododendrons and wisteria to look forward to!

Do you have a favourite Spring tree or park for blossoms in London? Let me know in the comments 🌺

"The essence of being human is that one does not s "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection" 

I wonder what the author if those words would have made of the age of Instagram? We are fed an endless stream of perfect images of perfect bodies and perfect lives. In the back of our minds we KNOW this is not reality, but still the subconscious yearning for this imaginary world of perfection persists. Humans are funny that way.

But so often in life, things fall short of the perfection we imagined - seemingly perfect relationships fail, cakes look nothing like the picture in the book, clothes that looked good on the internet look ridiculous on our bodies, the wrong turn we took meant we never got to our planned destination.

Falling short of perfection is part of life. The big question is how you deal with it. Do you throw your hands up in despair and berate yourself for failure? Or do you find the positives in the imperfect outcomes of your plans? 

This photo taken almost exactly 4 years ago was meant to be a "perfect" Instagram shot of me in my signature pose, on a perfect sunny day on snowy ski slopes. Instead, as @explorista snapped the photo, our ski instructor decided to throw handfuls of snow at me - but as it turns out, this "imperfect" shot turned out to be my favourite of the day 😍

Do you find joy in life's imperfections?
What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? Up What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? 

Up until about a week ago I would have said cauliflower cheese... but all that changed when I made this low-carb cauliflower steak Welsh rarebit... I first made cauliflower steaks years ago, before cauliflower started enjoying its 15 minutes of fame, as a main course for vegetarian friends. But it wasn't till last week when I wanted to make Welsh rarebit for St David's day and discovered I had no bread that it struck me that cauli steaks would make the perfect base for Welsh rarebit! It's totally indulgent - like pouring a beery cheese fondue over your cauliflower - and totally addictive. You can find the full recipe in the link in my profile,  or SAVE this post for basic instructions! Remember to tag me if you try it -I'd love to see 😊

* Slice two 1cm steaks vertically from the middle of a large cauliflower, season and fry in  butter and oil till browning slightly.

* Oven bake for 10 mins at 200C while you mix grated cheddar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer. (The Duvel Belgian ale works a charm, BTW!).

* Spread the cheese mix generously over the 2 steaks and pop under a medium grill until golden and bubbly

You're welcome 🤩

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
