Bass"N "Crunchy Vegetable Spring Roll
« on: July 30, 2013, 12:07:51 »
We all enjoy munching on spring rolls, Tasty cooked and crunchy veggies
sandwiching a Fillet of fish in filo Pastry is flaky finger food we can all make.

INGREDIENTS

Fillets of Bass Skinned (cod, Pollock, Pout all work)
1 Carrot chopped into matchsticks
1/2 Red Pepper Chopped into matchsticks
1/2 Green Pepper Chopped into matchsticks
1 or 2 Red Chillies Chopped into matchsticks
1 inch cube Fresh Ginger Chopped into Matchsticks
1 Fresh Garlic Chopped fine
4 Spring Onions Chopped into Matchsticks
1 Lemon Grass stalk chopped fine
1 x 2 inch Mooli Radish Chopped into matchsticks
Handful of Beansprouts
1 Chinese Cabbage(outer leaves)
1 handful Fresh Dill chopped fine
1 Handful Fresh Coriander chopped fine
1 Tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds
1 splash of Mirin Rice Wine to taste
1 Splash of Dark Soy Sauce to taste
1 Splash of Sesame Oil to taste
salt & pepper

1 Pkt 12 sheets Filo Pastry
Butter or Egg yolks for washing the pastry





Assemble Ingredients



Prep all the veggies



Skin and pin bone the Bass fillets,season and fridge till needed.



Heat some vegetable oil to a medium heat and stir fry the ..........
Garlic,Ginger,Carrot,Peppers,Chilli,Lemon Grass for a few minutes,we want the veggies cooked but still crisp.....then add the toasted sesame seeds for a further 1 minute ...then....add the Mirin,Sesame Oil and Soy Sauce then season to taste.

Once cooked set aside to cool.

Meanwhile Heat the oven to 180 degrees (fan oven)



The Beansprouts,Mooli Radish,Spring Onions and coriander can now be added to the cooled fried vegetables and mixed together.




On a work surface lay out the Filo Pastry and wash the edges with melted butter then sprinkle some chopped Dill over the filo sheet.....I wash every other whole sheet of pastry with egg yolk  or melted butter but add chopped Dill to each sheet.....6 sheets is more then enough.



About 2 inches in from the bottom edges lay out 2 outer Cabbage leaves



Then add a portion of the mixed vegetables on top of the Cabbage Leaves.



Add your Bass Fillet (trimmed to 8 ins length approx. x 2 ins wide)
on top of the vegetables.



Add more mixed vegetables on top of the Bass fillet



Finish of our sandwich with 2 more Chinese Cabbage Outer Leaves.



Carefully bring in the outer edges of the filo pastry and wrap around the ends of the fish and vegetable mixture and roll up from the end tucking in any loose pastry as you go.




Once finished rolling,brush with melted butter all over.



12 to 15 minutes should produce a nice flaky cooked pastry spring roll



Eat hot with a sweet Chilli dipping sauce.



Or Serve with Udon Noodles.

Thanks for that food porn, Gazza, wonderful pics and explanations, as ever, I really think your stuff is worthy of a bigger audience.  Not sure if I could eat that with my fingers, though!

Made a Horseradish sauce for this yesterday  just to add to the flavour and it was lovely,didnt bother with the other dipping sauce.,,so who ever said that HR was only good for Beef is missing out.

Having caught a few fresh mackerel @ Chesil Beach I made these again last night......

After filleting the mackies fitted just right in the roll and tasted really nice,as mackerel can be "Burpy" and a bit oily although good for you I added a thin veneer of Mango Chutney to 1 of them and it gave it a slight sweet N sour twang...anyway im pleased to report.....
....no indigestion this morning after scoffing a pair of them  !!!!

Ill update as I try different fillings as I appreciate there arnt that many fish luvvers in the house  !!!!
