3
Return the sea bass, tip in the potato and carrot, and pour over the stock.
4
Cover and let it murmur gently for 35-40 minutes until everything is spoon-tender and the broth has body.
5
Season with salt and cracked pepper, then shower with fresh parsley right before serving.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the urfa pepper flakes in the oil before adding anything wet.
