příprava
Wash the radishes and remove the leaves. To make the stock, bring the apple cider vinegar and all the other ingredients to the boil in a pan. Add the radishes and simmer for 5 mins. Set aside until ready to serve.
Remove the char from the fish and thread through the fish's mouth onto a wooden or metal skewer. Wash the lemon in hot water and grate the zest with a grater. Mix the spices, herbs, lemon zest and sunflower oil well in a small bowl. Brush the char with the spiced oil and fry in a large pan on both sides for approx. 5-6 mins. on a low heat. Keep brushing the fish with the oil.
Peel and finely dice the shallots. Fry the shallots in butter in a medium-sized pan until translucent. Then add the peas and pour in the lemon juice, lemon zest and cream. Simmer for 5 minutes. In the meantime, peel and finely dice the shallots for the beurre blanc and simmer in the white wine for 5-10 minutes. At the end, season the reduced wine with sea salt and stir in the cold butter to thicken the sauce. Pass everything through a sieve and keep warm. Wash the mint, remove the stalks and add to the peas with the cream cheese. Mix everything together, season and place in a blender. Puree until smooth. Serve the char with the puree, beurre blanc and radishes. Use a little cucumber herb as a garnish.
