This is a very fascinating technique that is extremely easy and tastes amazing. The only thing better than the taste is the aroma.
You Need:
- Parchment Paper : A rectangle of approximately 18 by 12 inches.
- Any Delicate Fish : Used three slices of Black Pomfret.
- French Beans : About 100 grams. The ends cut off and the rough corner strips removed.
- Shallots
- Garlic
- Salt and Pepper for seasoning.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Fold the parchment paper into two equal sides. One side is the base and the other will be the top cover. Take a little olive oil and rub it on the base part of the paper. Massage olive oil on the beans, fish, shallots and garlic. Make a bed using the beans. Place the fish on this. Arrange the shallots and garlic around the fish. Drizzle a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Close the parchment paper. Seal the corners by folding into triangles. Don’t worry too much about this. I forgot to season with salt and pepper. Opened it, seasoned and closed it again. All you need to do is to crimp the ends so that the steam won’t escape. The first time, it may look a little messy. By the second or third time, you will easily get the hang of it. You can also check youtube videos for tutorials. There are a lot of them.
Preheat oven to 180C. Bake for about 20 minutes. By the time it crosses 16-17 mins, it will start smelling really good. Enjoy the aroma and decide if its ready based on that. It will NOT take more than 25 mins. So plan accordingly.
Be careful when opening the parchment paper. There will be hot steam inside it.
Enjoy a super delicious, low carb all in one meal.
