PREPARATION OF THE BROTH
In a pot, in boiling water over low heat, infuse the lemongrass, ginger and turmeric powder for about 20 minutes.
PREPARATION OF THE SAUCE
Melt the salted butter. Add the liquid cream. Mix with the turmeric powder, the grated combava and the lemon juice. Reserve this sauce.
PREPARATION OF THE FILLING
Cut a clove of garlic into small pieces. Set aside.
Clean the skin of the rats with a soft brush.
Preheat a frying pan (preferably non-stick) with a tablespoon of olive oil and 40 grams of butter.
Brown the small Rattes with their skin on high heat for 5 minutes.
Lower the heat and add salt and pepper.
Cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring regularly.
Then, still over low heat, add the finely chopped garlic to the potatoes.
Mix well and turn regularly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Fry the garlic and potatoes for 5-6 minutes.
COOKING OF PLAICE FILLETS
Warm up the broth. Using a skimmer, place the fillets in the hot broth for 30 seconds.

If you want to speed up the cooking of the Rattes, cut them in 2 or 4.
