Busqué "besugo" en Wikipedia y apprendí que "besugo a la madrileña" es un plato de pescado horneado acompañado de verduras y gambas que es popular en Madrid. ¿Tiene Heidita la receta?

BESUGO A LA PARRILLA

.

**Ingredientes**

1 besugo

2 dientes ajo

1 guindilla roja

Vinagre

Aceite

Sal

.

Tiempo: 25 minutos Dificultad: Fácil Comensales: 2 personas

Primero desescamamos y limpiamos el besugo, quitándole las tripas en abundante agua fresca. Lo secamos con un trapo y le damos dos cortes en la espina dorsal, lo colocamos en la parrilla y lo controlamos dando cuatro vueltas, una cada 5 minutos, siempre a fuego fuerte. Para comprobar si está asado, estiramos de su espina dorsal, si sale con bastante facilidad el besugo está asado.

.

A continuación lo colocamos en una fuente, abrimos el besugo, le quitamos la espina dorsal y le echamos un poco de vinagre.

.

Aparte picamos los ajos y la guindilla y lo ponemos con aceite en una sartén. Cuando el aceite esté muy caliente regamos el besugo y volvemos a echar el aceite a la sartén, junto con el jugo que haya soltado el besugo. Calentamos bien y lo volvemos a echar al besugo.

.

Enjoy!!

¿Sabéis lo que es tener un diálogo de besugos con alguien? Es un dicho en español y muchas veces me pasa con mi pareja cheese

Do you know what is it to have an idiot dialogue with someone? This is a Spanish saying and many times It happens with my lady LOL

-

More info:

Diálogo de besugos:

"No se trata de ir a cantar bajo el mar con la Sirenita ni tiene que ver nada con el pescado, sino más bien consiste en mantener una conversación en la que, o las personas que participan en ella no se escuchan la una a la otra o que, directamente, se mantiene una conversación inútil, sin sentido, ya sea por el nivel intelectual de las personas involucradas o porque el tema sobre el que se habla no da más de si.

Es muy frustrante estar en un diálogo de besugos porque realmente es un auténtico fallo en cuanto a comunicación se refiere, por lo que espero que si alguna vez tenéis un diálogo de besugos, sea porque estéis a punto de comeros uno."

-

My attempt to english (It is done a bit fast hehe)

"It's not about singing underwater with the Little Mermaid..., nor does it even have anything at all to do with fish. Rather it is about carrying on a conversation in which either the people participating don't listen to each other or, directly, it is kept a conversation without sense, whether due to the intellectual level of the people involved or because there isn´t much to the subject matter itself.

It is very frustrating be in an idiot dialogue because it is an autentic fail refering to communication, so I hope if any time you have a 'besugo' dialogue, is because you are about to eat one."

We who speak English natively are so grateful for corrections to our Spanish, I trust you also would appreciate our correcting your English. In this spirit, please note the following comment: - Janice, MAR 3, 2010
"It's a spanish said.." should read instead-> This is a Spanish (not the capital letter) saying..." - Janice, MAR 3, 2010
It is not about going to sing under the water with Little Mermaid (delightful ..but sounds a wee bit better in English if you write> "It's not about singing underwater with the Little Mermaid..." - Janice, MAR 3, 2010
"and has nothing to do with fish"...To better capture your original, you could write> "Nor does it even have anything at all to do with fish" - Janice, MAR 3, 2010
You must then begin a new sentence in English> Rather it is about carrying on a conversation in which either the people participating don't listen to each other or - the more direct meaning: to have a pointless conversation, senseless, (cont.) - Janice, MAR 3, 2010
(cont.) whether due to the intellectual level of the people involved or because there isn´t much to the subject matter itself. - Janice, MAR 3, 2010
Thank you ! Always :) - Zizoun, MAR 4, 2010

Fue un diálogo de besugos. No quiero repetirlo. - It was a nonsensical conversation. I don't want to repeat it.
