Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Lay the turbotin in a generously buttered earthenware dish of proportioned size.
  2. For a turbotin of 1 kilo, moisten with 2 décilitres of white wine and 1 décilitre of Fumet de Poisson.
  3. Slice 2 medium onions finely and fry them in butter until golden.
  4. Press, peel and slice 3 tomatoes, and mix with them 3 large raw mushrooms finely sliced.
  5. Cut 2 sweet peppers into strips.
  6. Spread the fried onions over the turbotin, arrange the tomatoes and mushrooms on top, and lay the strips of pepper over them in a lattice.
  7. Sprinkle lightly with breadcrumbs and dot the surface with 30 grammes of butter divided into small pieces.
  8. Cook gently in the oven for about half an hour; the reduction of the moistening and the gelatinous properties of the fish bind the sauce of themselves.
