A refreshing summer’s recipe: sea bass ceviche

Derby Hotels Collection — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 09:31:41 +0000

Raúl Sanchez, chef of the Regulator Restaurant from the Bagués Hotel shows us how to prepare a wonderful dish: sea bass ceviche, a variation of the Peruvian ceviche with some changes.

Ingredients for 2 people:

11 oz. of skinless and no scales sea bass; 1/4 of red onion; 0,5 teaspoon of hot pepper without seeds and veins; 1 tablespoon of yellow hot pepper vinaigrette; 2 teaspoons of chopped cilantro; 1 lime; sugar; olive oil; rice vinegar; maldon salt; white pepper

Preparation:

First elaborate yellow hot pepper vinaigrette: to make it less spicy we remove veins and seeds from inside the yellow hot pepper. We place it in a saucepan with a little bit of sugar and a splash of rice vinegar. Then we cover it with water and cook until it becomes tender. Once drained, we remove the skin, we emulsify with olive oil in a blender, and reserve it in the fridge.

In a cold bowl, we place the sea bass into small cubes and sprinkle some lime, some cilantro, diced hot pepper, diced red onion and the yellow hot pepper emulsion. Mix well and let it settle for 5 minutes in the fridge. A suggestion from the chef: do not leave much time so that the lime doesn’t overcook it.

Taste for salt and pepper and you’re ready to serve. This dish is usually accompanied by fried boiled choclo, a sort of flat corn.

Hope you enjoy it!

Yes, I do at the Bagués Hotel

Confirmed, the Bagués Hotel is one of the most romantic hotels of Barcelona. The proof is in eating the pudding: on Saturday we witnessed how a couple got engaged on the terrace among licorice gin and tonics at moonlight. Nothing better than this gem hotel on the Ramblas to declare one’s love to somebody under the stars. She said yes, of course! Congratulations to the couple.

Peroni Nastro Azzurro chose the Bagués Hotel terrace to present his new Peroni Aperitifs in a most amusing before dinner drinks.

There we met a group of friends and especially some important figures of Barcelona’s business life, to enjoy good music and good beer, naturally. Peroni is one of the most iconic and popular beers in Italy. A lager, low-grade, very refreshing.

The circuit of these meetings on various terraces of the city is still running during this summer, so we invite you to become fans of their profile page to stay tuned for updates.

Derby Hotels Collection nace en Barcelona en 1968 con la puesta en marcha del hotel Derby, todo un icono en la ciudad de Barcelona.

Desde entonces, y bajo la dirección de Jordi Clos, empresario catalán profundamente vinculado al sector turístico de Barcelona, la colección se ha ido ampliando con establecimientos en Barcelona, Madrid, Londres y París. ¿Que por qué hablamos de colección? Porqué cada uno de nuestros hoteles es único, diferente a cualquier otro, una pequeña pieza de arte dentro de nuestra colección

Apostando por la calidad, el servicio y la diferenciación se han ido incorporando el resto de hoteles: Gran Derby en 1983, Astoria en 1987, Balmes en 1989, Claris en 1992, Villa Real en 1996, Urban y Caesar en 2004, Granados 83 en 2006, Banke y Balmes Residence en 2009, República y Bagués en 2010 y Arai, previsto para el 2012.

Un proyecto que sigue adelante con las nuevas generaciones de la familia Clos, en las que continúa la pasión por el arte, el diseño y la buena hostelería.
