  • 3 Cloves of garlic, pressed
  • 0,5 tsp Voatsiperifery pepper, freshly ground

Instructions
 

Mashed sweet potatoes

  • Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes and then cook them in salted water until they are nice and soft, then pour them off, let them steam out a little and then puree them. Now add the butter and season with salt, pepper, a pinch of cinnamon, Espelette pepper, the lime zest and the lime juice.

Brussels sprouts and almond bed

  • Pluck the 5 - 6 outer leaves from the cleaned Brussels sprouts, do not throw away the core, you can use it for other dishes, I will use it tomorrow. Roast the flaked almonds very lightly in a saucepan or pan and then add the butter and melt, the flaked almonds will brown a little more here.
  • Now add the Brussels sprouts and stir for about 4 minutes, they are cooked very quickly. Season to taste with salt.
  • Stripping the leaves of the Brussels sprouts is a lot of work, but the work is worth it - the Brussels sprouts taste much finer and therefore go much better with the fish. On the whole, the Brussels sprouts would be far too dominant to fish.

Plaice fillet

  • Heat a little oil with a little butter in a pan, add the lime slices, the pressed garlic cloves and the thyme to the pan and fry the plaice fillets on each side for a maximum of 2 minutes over medium heat.

finish

  • Place the mashed sweet potatoes on a plate with the help of a dressing ring. Next to it, arrange a bed of Brussels sprouts and place the plaice fillet on top and season the plaice fillet with the Voatsiperifery pepper (which must never be heated) and the hibiscus salt.
