I call this a fancy meal because it uses ingredients that are a bit out of the norm. Artichokes, Butternut squash, truffle oil, and Sea Bass! So this makes for an elegant meal but it's also easy to make. It just takes a while, give yourself two hours for the prep and longer cooking time. First, cut open and remove seeds to a large butternut squash. Smear with a bit of olive oil, roast on sheet pan with 2 cups of water, in a 375 oven for an hour ( or more) While roasting, thinly slice one onion and caramelize in large sauce pan on low heat for approx 30 minutes until the a soft clump of beautiful golden brown gooey yumminess. With 15 min. left add 5 fresh sage leaves. Then boil water in a large pot. Slice artichoke in half and boil (or steam) for 20 to 30 min until leaves can be easily pulled from flower. Drain the artichokes, and remove most leaves working your way down to the heart. (keep leaves to eat or decorate the plate with to be also eaten) Spoon out the hair in heart. Then put some olive oil and minced garlic in pan on medium heat, let sauce then add cleaned artichokes and cook on all side including top until golden brown. Make sure you are seasoning/ tasting as you go. Remove the squash from the skin . Place squash onions sage and 1 TBSP fresh truffles or 1/4 tsp truffle oil in Vita Mix and blend till quite smooth. Lastly cook seasoned sea bass 3-4 minutes on each side by, put 1 TBSP butter in that same sauce pan, add shaved fresh ginger to butter. About a TBSP place fish in pan and squeeze half a lemon over fish. Flip to the other side after 3 min , deglaze the pan with a bit of white wine. When fish has a sort of a crisp golden seer remove, plate and enjoy!
