Estouffade Of Red Emperor

Ingredients
1 kilo Potatoes
1 Leek white part only
1 stem Rosemary
1 kilo 200 Red Emperor (whole fish)
Bouquet Garni (Parsley Stalks Thyme Bay Leaf)
1/2 bottle Yarra Ridge Sauvignon Blanc
1 clove Garlic
100 grams Butter
200 grams Short Pastry

Method

Peel and cut the potatoes, wash and dry with a towel.

Take the fillets off the fish.

Roast the fish bones in 50 grams of the butter; put in the bouquet garni, the sauvignon blanc, seasonings and rosemary, plus 1/4 litre of water and cook all slowly for 45 minutes.

Take the fish bones out and pass the stock through a chinois then reduce down to 1/4 litre.

Put 50 grams of butter in the casserole with finely chopped leeks and sliced young onions and garlic.

Cook these together for 5 minutes then add potatoes, seasoning and a little water and cook for a further 10 minutes slowly.

Take a terrine with a good fitting lid (perferably a porcelain one which is appropriate to take to the table) and place in the potatoes, vegetables, the four fish fillets seasoned and then the fish juice.

Seal the lid on with short pastry all around the edges. Cook in a hot oven for 15-20 minutes at 230 degrees.

Serve at the table, cutting the pastry from edges of the terrine in order to prise off the lid and allow your guests to inhale the fragrance of the cooking juices and of the Sauvignon Blanc.
