Ingredients:
1 Balik fillet Tsar Nikolaj for two
20 g wasabi sesame
20 g black sesame
2 to gr white sesame, roasted
½ cucumber (200g)
80gr plain stirred yogurt
½ lemon
2 mint leaves
A little garlic
Salt
Preparation:
1. Peel the cucumber, cut in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Grate the cucumber pieces with a mandolin and drain the grated cucumber with a pinch of salt in a colander. Set aside in a cool place.
2. Crush mint leaves. Peel garlic and cut in half to degerminate. Crush garlic with a knife. Place the mint and a hint of degermed garlic in the mortar and crush with the pestle.
3. Place the crushed garlic and mint in a bowl with the pestle, the stirred yoghurt and the well-drained, degermed cucumber shreds. Add the lemon juice and salt and mix well.
4. Cut out medallions of Balik Fillet Tsar Nikolaj (approx. 1 cm thick, approx. 20 g) and bread one medallion at a time in each sesame seed.
5. Present the medallions on a plate, with the cucumber yoghurt in a ramekin and garnish with a fresh mint leaf and, for connoisseurs, a twist of the pepper mill.
