Pesce al cartoccio

Cooking Fish Pesce al cartoccio

Baked with aromatic fennel, capers and olives, Tobie Puttocks Sicilian-style fish is the whole package.

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Preheat a baking tray. Combine the wine and saffron in a jug. Set aside for 5 minutes to develop the flavours.
  2. Meanwhile, cut four 40cm lengths of baking paper and four 40cm lengths of foil. Place a piece of paper on a piece of foil. Fold in half, then fold in the 2 short sides tightly to create a pocket. Repeat to make 3 more pockets.
  3. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil into each pocket. Divide fish among pockets. Top with the fennel, olives, capers and parsley. Divide butter among pockets. Season.
  4. Carefully pour 60ml (1/4 cup) of the wine mixture into each pocket. Fold over the open end tightly to secure.
  5. Carefully place the fish parcels on the hot tray. Bake for 15 minutes or until fish is cooked through.
  6. Transfer the parcels to shallow bowls. Discard the foil. Serve with potatoes and salad leaves.
