Method

Eviscerate, wash the hake and steam it.

Separately, in a covered saucepan, open the mussels, clams and cockles separately with a little garlic and a drizzle of oil.

Shell the cockles and run them under running water.

Clean, wash and cut the squid into rings.

Separately, prepare uncourt-bouillon (broth consisting of water, celery, carrots, onion, lemon juice, clove and parsley).

Cook the prawns, squid rings and boiled shrimp in the court-bouillon.

Wash and clean the carrots, potatoes, zucchini and cut them to a length of 4 cm.

With the help of a small knife, turn the vegetables and steam them separately. Blanch the tomato, remove the seeds and cut it into fillets.

Wash and cut the Pachino tomato into cubes.

Prepare the sauce by emulsifying the oil with the lemon juice, chopped parsley and chopped chives.

Remove the head, skin and bone from the nose pad.

Chop the pulp, season it with a little oil and a little salt and place it in the center of the plate and, with the help of a mold, form a pie.

Place the mussel, clam, prawn tail, squid ring and Pachino tomato on top of the pie.

Surround the hake with the Adriatic fruits, the sliced tomato, the herbs and season with the prepared emulsion.

Notes

To be prepared and handled under strict hygienic conditions.

The ingredients of the dish bring the following benefits:

Squid: they are carriers of zinc and selenium, elements that promote the proper functioning of the immune system by hindering the formation of prostaglandins that prevent proper cellular functioning and has a high content of omega 3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (cardiovascular risk factor). Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory

Carrots: rich in vitamins (B1, B2, C, PP, E, D), carotenoids, minerals and active ingredients that support the functionality of the immune system and ophthalmic, diuretic and healing functions and act to protect the cardiovascular system. Also suitable for nephropathic patients and useful for the functioning of the liver for the contribution of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. They provide folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Cloves: rich in antioxidants that can strengthen the immune system

Onion: it is rich in selenium which supports the immune system and with the ability to stabilize blood glucose at normal values; it provides quercetin, a flavonoid that helps contain cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, parameters related to cardiovascular risk, which also supports liver function by promoting the purification of the body. Also indicated for nephropathic patients, it is a good diuretic that prevents kidney stones. It provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Monkfish: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids and has a high content of omega 3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (cardiovascular risk factor). Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory.

Mussels: containing vitamins, minerals and antioxidants favorable to the proper functioning of the immune system, liver and cardiovascular system. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory.

Chives: rich in carotenoids that support the immune system and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants, it acts to protect the cardiovascular system and liver function.

Clams: they provide zinc and selenium, elements that promote the proper functioning of the immune system by hindering the formation of prostaglandins that prevent proper cellular functioning and has a high content of omega 3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (cardiovascular risk factor). Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory

Lemon: Rich in substances with antioxidant action: vitamin C, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote the regeneration of liver cells, the functionality of the immune system and which act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients and useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Prawns: they provide zinc and selenium, elements that promote the proper functioning of the immune system by hindering the formation of prostaglandins that prevent proper cellular functioning and has a high content of omega 3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (cardiovascular risk factor). Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory

Hake: fish that provide zinc and selenium, elements that promote the proper functioning of the immune system by hindering the formation of prostaglandins that prevent proper cellular functioning and has a high content of omega 3 fatty acids, which inhibit platelet aggregation (cardiovascular risk factor). Useful for liver function due to the supply of zinc, selenium and omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory

Extra virgin olive oil: source of Vitamin E that protects the immune system from harmful fatty acids

Tomato: rich in vitamin C, the antioxidant par excellence that fights free radicals and supports the immune system, and provides mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. Especially if consumed with the peel, it provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Parsley: rich in carotenoids that support the immune system and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients and useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants

Salt: essential for the balance of body fluids and for the transmission of nerve impulses, it is however to be consumed respecting the limit of 5 g per day according to the indications of the WHO so as not to promote arterial hypertension and consequent increase in the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases starting from myocardial infarction and cerebral stroke; to be limited as much as possible in the case of nephropathy.

Celery: rich in carotenoids that support the immune system and mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system and useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. Suitable for those with cholesterol problems, as it promotes its disposal. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Clams: suppliers of proteins and minerals including potassium and calcium, able to promote the functionality of the cardiovascular system. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3 and 6, have an antidepressant effect and maintain efficient nervous system and memory
