Christmas Carpaccio

7 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch dill
  • half pomegranate (seeded)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated horseradish
  • 1 pound very fresh skinned and boned firm fleshed white fish, like kingfish or cod
  • 3 tablespoons creme fraiche
  • a few splashes good quality olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Use a very sharp knife to carve thin slivers of the fish. (This will be easier if the fish is very cold).
  2. 2
    Arrange about six or seven thin sashimi style slices in an overlapping circle around each small dinner plate.
  3. 3
    Cover each plate with a square of baking paper and stack the plates on top of each other.
  4. 4
    Put the stack of fish and baking paper layered plates in the fridge. Weight the top one with a collection of cans or something heavy. Keep the plates in the fridge for at least an hour, or until you are ready to eat.
  5. 5
    Make a horseradish cream by combining the grated horseradish and creme fraiche. Thin it slightly with a splash of water. You want it to be the thickness of pouring cream.
  6. 6
    To serve remove the baking paper from the top of each plate and decorate each plate with sprigs of dill, pomegranate seeds and dribbles of the horseradish cream. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of good quality sea salt.
  7. 7
    Enjoy with rye bread and some shockingly yellow organic butter.
