Difficulty level

INGREDIENTS

  • 200 g Barilla Al Bronzo Spaghetti
  • 1 kg Red mullet
  • 2 White onions
  • 2 Chilli peppers
  • 150 g Tomato paste
  • 30 ml White wine
  • 1 Bunch chives
  • 1 Organic lemon
  • Salt, to taste
  • EVO oil, to taste
  • Red mullet tartare, to taste
  • Chives, to taste

PREPARATION

  1. Gut the red mullet and wash them in salted water (32 g of salt per litre of water). Cut them into medium-sized pieces with scissors. Cut the onions into julienne strips and stew them in a saucepan with a pinch of salt. Add the white wine and let it evaporate. Add the red mullet and tomato paste. Cover with cold water and reduce by 50%. Pass everything through a food mill, then through a chinois 3 times, to obtain a smooth and homogeneous jus. Return the liquid to the heat and reduce it to 1/3 of its initial volume.
  2. Cook the spaghetti and drain it 2 minutes before the end of cooking. Toss the pasta in the mullet jus, adding chilli pepper to taste and a little lemon juice. Stir in a drizzle of oil to form a shiny, creamy consistency.
  3. Arrange the spaghetti on the plates. Garnish with raw mullet fillets and fresh chives.

CHEF'S NOTE

Ivan Maniago - Impronta d’acqua

“The sea is a most precious and fragile resource that must be respected and protected. Everything it offers should be valued and not wasted, like red mullet, which is good in every part, for example with spaghetti cooked in cuttlefish broth, red mullet tartare, spicy red mullet jus and chives. Solid like a rock, this dish truly tastes of the sea.”
