Elaboration

For the hake:

  • Prepare the hake by removing the scales.
  • Ration the hake into skinless suprêmes of 180 g each.

Green sauce.

For the kokotxas:

  • Clean the kokotxas by removing the skin.
  • Cook the garlic in olive oil being careful that they do not brown. Allow the oil to reduce in temperature and add parsley.
  • Add the kokotxas and gently confit them for a few minutes, since the kokotxas do not require much time to be cooked.
  • Remove from the heat and emulsify the pil-pil sauce derived from the kokotxas.
  • Add salt to taste and check if the colour is the desired one (parsley and parsley oil are optional).

Decoration:
