Sea Basses in Foil with Potatoes

This is the typical second course that my family prepare for the Christmas Eve. The recipe presented below is very simple and fast to prepare and good to eat. You can prepare this dish with sea bass or if you prefer with black sea bass and you can serve them with potatoes as presented in this recipe or also with brocolli.

INGREDIENTS (for 10 people)
10 Sea basses
400 ml of extra virgin olive oil
200 g of Parsley
3 clove of Garlic
50 Small potatoes
50 g of Provolone (Italian cheese)
Salt
Pepper

PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes

COOKING TIME: 30 - 40 minutes

WINE: Greco di Tufo (White Wine)

PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Clean the sea basses, remove the scales and cut the tails.

Chop parsley and onion. In a dish put the extra virgin olive oil, add the chopped parsley and onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place the sea basses over a sheet of foil paper, then with the help of a tablespoon pour the mixture inside and over the sea basses.

Close the fish in the sheet of foil paper and continue in this way for all the sea basses. When they are ready place them in a baking tin and bake for about 30 – 40 minutes.

In the mean time you can prepare the potatoes. Clean and peel the small potatoes, then cut them over the surface like a fan.

Place them in a baking tin, sprinkle them with a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper. Bake for about 10 – 15 minutes.

Now cut the provolone into thin slices, when the 10 – 15 minutes are elapsed, remove the potatoes from the oven and place over the surface of each potato a thin slice of provolone.

Re-bake for other 10 minutes. When the sea basses and the potatoes are ready place them in a platter and serve hot. This is the result:

BUON APPETITO!
