Ingredients

• 500g trill (red mullet) cleaned and filleted
• 500g squid cleaned
For the dressing
• Juice of 1 small lemon
• 1 small pepperoncino
• 1/2 tsp castor sugar
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• 50ml extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small piece of fresh grated ginger
• 200g plain flour 00 for dusting
• 1 ltr vegetable oil for frying
• Pinch of salt and white pepper for seasoning
• For garnish wedge of lime and a few sprigs of garden cress or fresh mint

Instructions

1. In a food processor add all the dressing ingredients, blend well until very smooth.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan, dust the fish in some flour and season with salt and pepper. Make sure squid and fish are cleaned properly and cut into small pieces, about a good bite size.
3. When oil is hot cook the squid for about two minutes, remove and set aside, then cook red mullet for about a minute, remove and set aside on a paper towel too.
4. Place the fish on a long plate and, if you want to look like a pro, paint some squid ink on the bottom of the plate and place the fish one by one on top of it. Pour the dressing over it and garnish with a few garden cress and a wedge of lime. Enjoy!
