Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Preheat the fryer. Season the mullet with  
salt and pepper. In a small food processor, fitted with a metal blade,  
combine the olive oil, garlic cloves, black pepper and herbs. Process until  
smooth. Place the mullet on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the  
mullet, (all sides) with the mixture. Roast the mullet for 8 to 10 minutes,  
or until flaky. In large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add  
the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 4 minutes, stirring. Add  
the eggplant, artichokes, tomatoes, olives, garlic, green onions, and herbs,  
and black pepper, stirring, for 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red  
wine. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium−low, and  
simmer for 3 minutes. In a saute pan fry the potatoes in a little olive oil  
until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and  
pepper. Fold the potatoes into the sauce. To serve, spoon the sauce in the  
center of each plate. Lay two of the red mullet over the sauce. Garnish with  
piles of fried parsnip chips. This recipe yields 4 servings.
