Sicilian Groper in Foil

Sicilian Groper in Foil

 

 

Ingredients 1 groper fillet about 300g butter bunch of dill lemon slices cherry tomato, diced capers Kalamata olives. Squeeze out the pips and tear the olives with your hands eschallots, thinly sliced basil, hand torn foil citrus oil black pepper

Method As this is going directly onto hot coals you will want to double the foil so as to not get any tears.   Lay out the foil big enough to wrap the fish in. Smear butter onto the foil then lay out 4 – 6 slices of lemon and then a big bunch of dill on top of the lemon.   Now lay the groper fillet on top of the dill. Scatter over the fillet the eschallots, diced tomato, capers, torn olives and torn basil leaves.   Drizzle some citrus oil over everything and finally a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. Wrap the foil bringing each side up and twisting together to create a neat tightly sealed parcel. The fish will steam as well as roast in this package. Place on hot coals and cook for about ten minutes. Carefully open the foil and check for doneness by how the fish flakes. If not cooked wrap up and cook a little longer. If cooked eat directly out of the foil package savoring all of the lovely juice created by the fish, butter, lemon and veggies!
