Fish (samke harre ) lebanese recipe
2 fillets victoria bars or similar white fish
1 cup finely diced yellow onion 1 green bell pepper diced
1 jalapeno chile, seeds removed and finely diced
2 whole bunches parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
2 lemons
1/2 cup tahini
1 cup mixed pine nuts and chopped walnuts
some salt
white pepper
1. Preheat oven
Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil.
Rub a bit of olive oil over the fillets and sprinkle liberally with salt and with a pinch of white pepper.
Bake the fish fillets for about 15 minutes, or until firm and cooked through.
Set aside the fish but turn the oven up to broil.
2. Meanwhile, juice the lemons, removing any seeds.
Slice the cilantro leaves (it's okay to get some of the stems in there) into a big pile.
Place the tahini in a bowl with one tablespoon lemon juice and two pinches of salt and stir together
. Add enough water (1-3 tablespoons) to the tahini to make it a thick pourable consistency.
3. Heat the 1/4 cup olive oil in a saute pan. Add the onions, bell pepper, and jalapeno and cook gently until the onions are translucent and everything is soft. Remove from the heat.
4. Add the remaining lemon juice to the onion mixture, then gently fold in the cilantro. Gently break up the fish fillets into large pieces, discarding any skin or bones, then place the fish fillets into the pan with the onion-lemon mixture, and fold everything very gently to coat the fish with the sauce.
5. Pile the fish mixture onto a serving platter. Pour the tahini over the whole thing. Place the walnuts and pine nuts on a baking and slide under the broiler, watching closely, for only about a minute until well toasted.
Top the fish mixture with the nuts and serve immediately.
