Method
Carp
- Score the fish in diagonal slits on both sides of the skin.
- Salt the inside of the fish and stuff with lemongrass, dill, lemon slices, and orange slices. Fold the fish together.
- Season the outside with salt on both sides and brush with olive oil.
- Wrap the fish in banana leaves or parchment paper, then add a final layer of aluminium foil. Seal tightly.
- Place on a roasting tray and bake in the oven at 200°C (205°C) for 1 ½ hours.
- Open up the foil and wrapping, then return to the oven at 225°C (225°C) for 10 minutes to give it some color.
- Serve the fish on a large board. Garnish with dill and orange or lemon slices if desired.
- Pour the bell pepper and mushroom sauce over the fish.
- Serve with roasted potatoes or butternut squash and a salad. Be mindful of the bones. Enjoy!
Bell Pepper & Mushroom Sauce
- Add onion, bell peppers, chili pepper, garlic, cherry tomatoes, 5 tbsp olive oil, salt, and soy sauce to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Heat the remaining 5 tbsp olive oil and butter in a frying pan. Sauté the mushrooms until golden brown. Season with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
- In the same pan, add the blended vegetables. Simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until thickened.
- Add the mushrooms and stir to combine.
