Ingredients:
4 pan-dressed bream (about 1 pound) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided |
1/4 cup cornmeal |
vegetable oil |
1 clove garlic |
1 cup tomato puree |
1/2 teaspoon rosemary |
2 bay leaves |
2 tablespoons vinegar |
Directions:
1. Rinse fish thoroughly in cold water; pat dry. Make a shallow S-shaped slash on each side of fish; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Combine 1/4 cup flour and cornmeal in a medium mixing bowl. Dredge fish in cornmeal mixture; set aside.
3. Heat 1/4 inch oil in a large skillet to 350°; add fish, and fry 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
4. Drain oil, reserving 3 tablespoons in skillet. Add garlic; cook over medium heat until yellow. Add tomato puree, rosemary, and bay leaves; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes.
