  • Black pepper

For the yogurt:

  • 250 g Greek yogurt 10% fat

For the passion fruit sauce:

  • 1 Pc. Oranges

Instructions
 

Yogurt:

  • Mix the yogurt in a blender with a little lime zest, the juice of half a lime and a clove of garlic until smooth. Season to taste with honey, salt and pepper, because the yogurt should not be too sour.

Passion fruit sauce:

  • Cut the passion fruit in half and scrape the pulp on a piece of baking paper. Sprinkle evenly with 4 tablespoons of sugar and caramelize in the oven at 160 ° C until it is lightly browned and there is hardly any liquid left.
  • Caramelize 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small saucepan and deglaze with the freshly squeezed orange juice. Add the caramelized passion fruit and simmer over low heat until it has a creamy consistency.

Beetroot:

  • Put the beetroot in a colander and collect the juice. Cut the beetroot into 3x3 cm cubes. Wearing gloves during this step will prevent staining of the hands.
  • Pour rapeseed oil, sea salt, black pepper, lemon zest and half a teaspoon of allspice d’Esplette over the beetroot and cover for 2-3 hours.
  • Bring the beetroot juice to the boil briefly in a saucepan and thicken with cornstarch.

Pikeperch fillets:

  • Wash the pikeperch fillets, pat dry with kitchen paper and remove any bones. Slightly incise the skin side with 4-5 cuts.
  • Heat a pan with a little rapeseed oil and fry the fillets on the skin side over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of butter, a clove of garlic and the thyme.
  • Turn the pikeperch fillets over and let cook for approx. 1-2 minutes, season with a little sea salt.

To serve:

  • Put the lukewarm beetroot in the center of the plate, spread 1-2 tbsp of the yoghurt over it. Splot the passion fruit sauce on the beetroot cubes as well.
  • Place the pikeperch with the skin side up on the plate and drizzle the butter from the pan over it. Finally, pour the thickened beetroot sauce over the plate.
