Hi lovely people of Food Tube. What I gonna cook for you today, and for me, lampuka with
pesto in Malta. So fresh and so wonderful. Lampuka is a local fish. Hahaha. But don't
forget, you can use the sea bass, sea bream, sardine, mackerel, almost all kind of fish.
Lampuka is the fish but as long as you have a nice and fresh fish it's incredible. First
of all let's make a pesto. This is a kind of infusion marinade. Here I'm gonna use mint,
parsley, garlic half straight in, little chilli, plus lemon zest. Yes, I'm gonna use a little
bit of lemon in as well. Squeeze about half a lemon. Look how strong I am, I can't believe
it. Anyone ask how old I am, no I won't give you my age, no way at all. Now, Maltese olive
oil. Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go. That's good. Then capers. Make sure you taste it
first. If it's too salted put them inside the water and make sure they're losing a bit
of salt. I'm gonna use a handful of this one. What actually the flavour of the capers do,
it's got salt in it. Don't forget, capers grow by the sea so in a way, when the sea
breeze, the wind of the sea comes over the wave, the lovely capers catch them all. It
keeps the flavour themselves. It's so fantastic. Last, not least anchovies, yes! All going
in. Don't be afraid, I'm just gonna put a little bit. Then you get all those together
and you start to mix it. Don't worry if they won't break mould, mix it like a pesto. Now,
yes we've got lovely fillets of lampuka. Look at that, beautiful. I'm gonna do two actually. Season
a bit, just a little bit. Then put them in together, get the other side. Little pepper
in. Now you make sure the griddle, it is extremely hot. Olive oil. You only need a little bit
just to wipe the fish, look. You turn them to the other side and then you oil it. They
only need a little oiling. Yes, no, no! Yes, no, no. You can see there is not any oil because
the oil, look at that, it's on the fish. Get a fish, one, always with the skin down, two.
You can see the lovely line on the fish, means it's cooked on one side but do not overcook
it. Now, slowly you turn it. Don't worry if the skin is broke a little bit, you cook the
other side. Look at the lovely pesto. Just brush on top. The anchovies, the garlic, the
chilli, the capers, incredible! All this adds to the flavour. At this stage the fish is
cooked. Oh my, my, as soon as it come out I need this pesto to get on top. Oh wow,
wow, look at that! Look at that! Yes! Now you leave them for rest. Maltese rocket and
a bit of salt, olive oil, squeeze a nice bit of lemon inside. Just quick mix it. And this
is grilled lampuka with pesto and wild rocket. From there to here to here, hey! Mmm, so delicious.
It's the flavour of the sea. It is fantastico. Don't forget, if you want to see me more cooking
