red mullet sashimi
main courses | serves Serves 4
With a sharp knife, slice the fish as thinly as you can and put into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and squeeze in the lime juice - if you roll and press the lime before cutting it in half, you get more juice. The acid of the lime cooks the fish, so you will see it change colour.
Remove the seeds from the pomegranate halves by holding them one at a time cut side down in the palm of your hand over a bowl, and bashing the back with a wooden spoon. The seeds will tumble out between your fingers into the bowl below.
Lay the fish out in one layer on a plate, and from a height sprinkle on the lime zest and scatter over the pomegranate seeds. Grate the ginger over the top using a sharp grater. To finish, drizzle with a little olive oil and scatter with some small basil leaves. See the
video here.

Could you PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE help me remember how you prepared that tuna really?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!
I love your recipes, because the taste is very identical and fresh!!! please continue to create those tasty meals.
tahnk you!
I can understand how you might see the recipe name as misleading, but "sashimi" has also been incorporated into the English language rather recently and can be used here to refer to many raw or "undercooked" fish dishes.
It is certainly not traditional sashimi the way the Japanese would eat it (as far as I understand, and I have been lucky enough to try it!), but the name certainly fits well enough in England.
Please send me a copy or a link where I can find it.
Many thsnks

Crème fraîche is the correct spelling
Crème fraîche (IPA: [kʁɛm fʁɛʃ], French for "fresh cream") is the European counterpart to the U.S. sour cream product. It is a heavy cream slightly soured with bacterial culture, but not as sour or as thick as sour cream. Originally a French product, today it is available throughout the rest of the world. Creme fraiche is produced by a process similar to that of sour cream, with the exception that no ingredients are added. Each processing step requires attention to producing and maintaining high viscosity. Commercially it is commonly fermented to an end pH around 4.5. Crème fraîche can be made at home by adding a small amount of cultured buttermilk or sour cream to normal heavy cream, and allowing to stand for several hours at room temperature until the bacterial cultures act on the cream.
Because crème fraîche has a higher fat content and lower viscosity, it has several advantages. Unlike sour cream, crème fraîche can be mixed with air to form whipped cream. And, the higher lipid content (and lower protein content) of crème fraîche allow it to be cooked without curdling. However, the higher fat content and small scale processing contribute to a retail price which is at least twice as expensive as traditional sour cream.
Nevertheless, sales are growing. Its increasing popularity is an indication of changing culinary habits promoted by growing population diversity and exposure to European culture and cuisine.
Smetana is a similar cream used in Central and Eastern European cuisines.
Clabber is a similar food made in the Southern United States.
