Ingredients
- 2 large MSC certified hake fillets, skin on
- Olive oil
- 2 sprigs of dill, finely chopped
- 2 sprigs of fresh mint, finely chopped
- Juice and zest of a lemon
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed
- 5ml dried oregano
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 2 green bell peppers, finely diced
- 4-6 baby aubergines, halved
- 100ml couscous, cooked
- Coarse ground sea salt and black pepper
To serve
- Flatbreads
- Readymade tzatziki
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Combine the chopped dill, mint, lemon juice and zest, garlic and dried oregano with 20 ml of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Slice the hake fillets lengthways into strips roughly 2cm wide. Place the hake into a dish and pour over the marinade. Leave the fish to marinate for 5 minutes before threading the hake strips on to soaked wooden skewers.
- Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil and arrange the chopped onions and peppers at the top and the halved aubergines below.
- Place the hake kebabs in the centre and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the hake is flaking and cooked through.
- Once cooked, combine the onion and green peppers with the cooked couscous and season to taste. Crumbled feta also works well in the salad.
- To assemble, gently heat the flatbreads in a dry pan. Spoon a dollop of tzatziki over each flatbread and top with a spoonful of couscous salad, a few aubergine halves and a kebab. Scatter over some extra chopped dill and serve immediately.
