A simple but delicious Greek recipe which I found in ” Cook Simple” by Diana Henry.
Ingredients
- salt and pepper
- 4 x 225 g red mullet cleaned and gutted
- a good handful thyme sprigs
- 4 tbsps olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 large orange thin skinned if possible
- 4 tbsps stoned black olives
Servings:
Instructions
- Season the mullet inside and out and stuff some of the thyme sprigs inside the fish. Put the fish in an ovenproof dish where they can fit in a single layer.
- Mix the olive oil with the lemon juice and the juice of 1/2 the orange and pour this all over the fish. Cut the rest of the orange into thin slices, halve these and tuck them around the fish with the remaining thyme.
- Season and drizzle over a little more olive oil. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 C, 160 Fan, Gas 4 for 15 minutes. Add the olives and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes. Check that the fish is cooked through and serve immediately.
