These fish rissoles are a great way to enjoy the goodness of fish without the overpowering taste or messing around with whole fillets. Corn or diced capsicum are a great addition to the patty mix - they help mask the fishy taste further and add extra nutrients to the meal. The patties themselves are beautifully crisp on the outside while oh so light and fluffy on the inside!

Greek-style fish bake with tomatoes and garden vegetables

January 9, 2011

0

I think the attribution of the dish to the Greeks, however accurate, comes from the medditteranean feel and simplicity of the flavours: fresh fish combined with a slightly acidic tomato based vegetable topping. Since the dish is normally served cold it is perfect for summer. But when warmed up the flavours become so much more intense and the fish more tender, I'm surprised no one had ever thought of it before!

The recipe is… [Read more…]

Quick, hassle free and slightly fancy. Believe it or not, but this recipe was a ‘collaboration’ between me and an 8 year old boy… As we strolled through the supermarket trying to find ingredients to compliment the fish I picked up fresh from the Fish Markets earlier, he suggested I should wrap the fillets in… [Read more…]

Barbecue skewers: chicken yakitori, pepper beef and ginger fish (gluten, egg and dairy free)

September 12, 2010

Yesterday, we had a bit of a dilemma: what to have for a barbecue dinner? I felt like fish, but not everyone likes it “that much”. Someone else loves beef, but I didn’t really feel like red meat. There was also division between the little people on what to have, fish or lamb. To complicate things further,… [Read more…]

Poached white fish roll in savoury jelly + healthy fishburger mince alternative

July 30, 2010

1

It may sound slightly off-putting at first but this dish is delicious, and left overs can be turned into fish burgers! By poaching it in vegetable broth, which is then turned into jelly to seal in the moisture of the fish on the plate, the fish becomes sweet and juicy. Traditionally the dish is served with a… [Read more…]
