Ingredients
- Coriander: 3 tbsp chopped coriander
- Turmeric: 1/4 tsp turmeric
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove
- Red Onion: 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- Tomato: 4 tomatoes, chopped
- Natural Yogurt: 150g pot 0% natural yogurt
- Mint: 3 tbsp chopped mint
- Cucumber: 1/4 cucumber, finely diced
- Lemon Juice: good squeeze of lemon juice
- Cumin Seed: pinch of cumin seeds
- Quinoa: 40g quinoa (or 85g pre-cooked quinoa)
- Fish: 2 x 150g chunky fillets skinless white fish, such as sustainable cod
Directions
- Tip the quinoa (if not pre-cooked) into a pan, cover with water and boil, covered, for 25 mins, checking the water level to make sure it doesn't boil dry. Drain well.
- Meanwhile, put 2 tbsp each of the mint and coriander in a bowl. Add the yogurt and garlic, and blitz with a hand blender until smooth. Stir 2 tbsp of the herby yogurt with the turmeric and cumin, then add the fish and turn in the mixture to completely coat.
- Turn the grill to High. Arrange the fish in a shallow heatproof dish and grill for 8-10 mins, depending on thickness, until it flakes. Toss the quinoa with the cucumber, onion, tomatoes, lemon juice and remaining herbs. Spoon onto a plate, add the fish and spoon round the mint chutney, or add it at the table.
