Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    For the proposed tomato sauce, soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes; add garlic for 30 seconds, then tomato, salt, pepper and paprika. Simmer uncovered 15–20 minutes until spoonable, adding a little water only if it catches. Measure about 240 mL for the dish.

  2. Step 2

    For the proposed dressing, whisk vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper; slowly whisk in olive oil until combined. Dress the vegetables at service.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oven to 190 °C. Season shad and fill its cavity with fully cooked chopped oysters and cooked mushrooms; close loosely.

  4. Step 4

    Butter a baking dish, lay in fish, scatter onion, crumbs and parsley, dot with remaining butter and pour about a cup of proposed tomato sauce around it.

  5. Step 5

    Bake about 35–45 minutes, basting with tomato sauce, until fish flakes and stuffing is thoroughly hot. Serve with shredded celery dressed separately in proposed vinaigrette.
