- 5 pieces robalo fillet
- purple tomatillos
Leave the skin on the second fillet, cut off the belly and cut into five even pieces; refrigerate.
Lay foil on a clay griddle and roast the husked tomatillos until soft, a little blackened and blistered and cooked through, flipping halfway.
- cascabel chili
- pumpkin seeds
Stem and seed the cascabel chiles and toast them on the griddle until aromatic and crispy looking.
- cinnamon stick
- black pepper
- clove
Roughly chop a cinnamon stick, combine with black pepper and clove in a heavy plastic bag and crush with the back of a pan; put in the blender.
- leftover fish stock
Blend the spices, chiles, pumpkin seeds, onion and tomatillos with some leftover fish stock until smooth; press through a strainer.
- oil
- salt
Fry in a pan filmed with hot oil until reduced and thick; add fish broth to a cream-soup consistency, simmer a few minutes and season with salt.
