Preparation
- Remove tough outer leaves from lemon grass, and slice off tough bottom. Slice remainder of tender part of lemon grass into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Chop shallots.
- Combine lemon grass, shallots and wine in the bottom of the pot in which the turbot will be steamed.
- Wash turbot and cut it into four equal portions. Carefully make a pocket in each portion, slicing the fish horizontally.
- Skin mango and cut four thin slices to fit into each turbot pocket. Arrange stuffed slices in a steamer.
- Thinly slice the remaining mango; wash, dry and chop the cilantro.
- Bring wine mixture to a boil in the steamer. Cover and steam fish for 3 to 4 minutes, until it is cooked.
- When fish is cooked, remove, and spoon the wine mixture into a food processor. Process to a rough puree. Arrange the fish on two dinner plates. Sprinkle with a little salt and a few spoons of the pureed cooking liquid; decorate with mango slices, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with mashed potatoes.
