Ingredients:
Smoked River Cobbler
1 fresh chilli, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp, chopped coriander
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely diced
1 tsp Soy sauce
1 tsp five spice
Generous glug of olive oil
1 onion
Spinach
1 Red/Orange pepper
Cous cous/rice
Smoked paprika
Knob of butter
Instructions:
For the fish
Gently fry olive oil, ginger, chilli, soy sauce, lime juice and give spice for 5 minutes until cooked. Remove from heat.
Using
tin foil create individual boats for your River Cobbler fillets. Poor
the olive oil mixture over the fillets, add some coriander, season with
pepper and wrap the foil so the fish is sealed. Place on a baking tray.
For the couscous
Using
the same frying pan cook the onion, pepper and courgette until lightly
browned. Add the knob of butter and smoked paprika. Cook the cous cous or rice
accordingly (refer to the cous cous packet for instructions)
Put the fish into the oven at 190C
and bake for 10-20 minutes until cooked. Stir the onions and
pepper into the cous cous once it has absorbed all the water.
Unwrap
the fish, being careful not to spill the juices, pour them over the
cous cous on the plate and place the fish ontop. Add a dollop of soured
cream and a sprig of coriander and enjoy.
