Whilst fairly work intensive, this one pot wonder is a great family treat. You can share with bread for a rustic alternative to Sunday lunch, or just as easily make it the main for a multi-course dinner party.
Ingredients:
1 kg of fresh sea bass
1 litre of seafood stock
4 cloves of garlic
4 shallots
2 leeks, white part only
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
200 g of mixed mushrooms, sliced
1 sweet potato, cubed
1¼ kg of new potato, quartered
50 g of sliced fennel (about 1/3 of a bulb)
2 apples, peeled and cubed
Juice of 2 apples
Truffle butter
120 ml of white wine
Sea Bass in Apple Seafood Stock

Juice the apples in the VillaWare® Juice Extractor. In the VillaWare® Food Processor, add garlic, shallots and leeks.

In a shallow stock-pot, sauté this mix in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 4 minutes.

Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4 minutes adding another 2 tablespoons of oil. The mushrooms should act like sponges and absorb the oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the potatoes and sauté for 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes and set aside.

Deglaze mushrooms and the mix of leeks with 120ml of white wine. Let the liquid evaporate and reduce by half.

Add seafood stock, sweet potatoes, fennel and apple juice, and reduce by a third for 20 minutes on a medium heat. Add the potatoes back into the stock and cook 5 minutes until tender. Add sea bass and apple cubes, and cover tightly for 8 minutes. Serve with a slice of truffle butter.
