Tagine of Snapper
Ben O'DonoghueIngredients:
Serves 4
- 1x plate size pink snapper or sea bream filleted but keeping the head and tail attached.
Paste
- 4-5 coriander roots washed / tops reserved for garnish
- 2 garlic cloves
- Salt
- 1-2 pinches of saffron
- 400g chopped and peeled tomato
- 1 preserved lemon skin only finely diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 glass white wine
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger fresh
- 1 cup chickpeas tinned
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- ½ cup crispy fried onions
Method:
- Ask your fishmonger to gut, scale and fillet your fish but to leave the head and tail attached so as to just remove the spine and pin bones!
- In a mortar and pestle pound the garlic, coriander root, cumin and ginger with a little salt to a fine paste. Then add the tomato, lime juice and preserved lime zest and white wine.
- Pour this over your fish and allow it to marinate for ten minutes. In a tagine or heavy saucepan warm the olive oil. Add the fish and marinade as well as the chickpeas. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes continually spooning the sauce over the fish. You may need to turn the fish half way through.
- Correct the seasoning, and garnish with the remaining chopped coriander tops and the fried onions.
