About 1.2kg of Gattucio (shark steak) sliced into steaks and skin removed

50g of walnuts (without shells)
50g of breadcrumbs
A bunch of parsley
1 lemon

method
Place the shark steaks in a pan with some cold water half a cup of vinegar
and some parsley and cook for about 10 minutes over a medium heat. Remove
the steaks from the pan with a slotted spoon and set to one side. Pass
the stock that the steaks cooked in through a sieve and keep warm.
Crush the garlic and fry in a large pan with about 6 tablespoons of olive
oil. As soon as the garlic begins to colour add the breadcrumbs, pine
nuts and chopped walnuts with a tablespoon of vinegar and some salt and
pepper. After a couple of minutes add the shark steaks to the pan and
cook for a couple of minutes on either side. Now add a couple of ladles
of your shark steak stock, bring to the boil and then turn down the heat
and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until all of the liquid has been consumed.
Garnish with chopped parsley and wedges of lemon and serve with a cold
glass of Vermentino di Gallura or similar white wine.
