Wine Match

This delicious seafood recipe really deserves a white wine full of character but with enough acidity to be refreshing on the palate. A good alternative might be an Albariño from the Rias Baixas DO that has been aged for at least three or four years in steel vats and in the bottle, to emphasize its complexity.

Preparation

Heat the Spanish extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion and the red pepper for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and sauté with the rest of the vegetables. Place the garlic and the parsley in a mortar and crush together to form a paste called “majada”. Add the white wine, mix carefully and reserve.

When the potatoes are well sautéed, place the pieces of turbot on top of them, add the “majada” and cook over a very low heat for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, boil the peas in plenty of salted water. Once they are ready, drain them and add them to the fish. Cook the fish for a further 2 minutes. Season with salt and serve.
