Ingredients
4 small or 2 large kumara
2 tbsp SIDS PEPPER & GARLIC OIL
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp SIDS CRAZY LEMON
½ onion, sliced
Pinch of salt
1½ tbsp fish sauce
½ tsp soy sauce
½ cup water
½ cup coconut water
2 red chillies: 1 finely diced, 1 finely sliced
700 g firm-fleshed white fish fillets, skin left on
1 spring onion, sliced
1 bunch silverbeet, finely shredded
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 180°C on fan bake.
Cut kumara length-ways into chunky wedges, lightly brush with SIDS PEPPER & GARLIC OIL, then season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Place on tray and put into the oven.
Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Sauté the garlic and SIDS CRAZY LEMON until lightly golden. Layer the sliced onion on top. Season with a pinch salt, fish sauce, soy, water and coconut water, then turn up the heat to high to bring to the boil. Add the finely diced chilli, then taste the stock and adjust the seasoning. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, then add the fish. Turn over the wedges and return to the oven.
After 5 minutes, gently turn the fish over and simmer, partially covered, until the fish is just cooked through. Continue, spooning the stock over the fish. With about 2 minutes to go, add the spring onion and silverbeet, then top with the sliced chilli, and some SIDS SALT & PEPPER. Serve immediately, with the kumara wedges on the side.
Notes:
Top up your veggie count by adding thinly sliced mushrooms, bok choy, green beans or capsicum. The portions on your plate should be based on quarter protein, (such as fish in this recipe) quarter carbohydrates/ starch (kumera) and half veggies. The protein and carbs should be no larger than the palm of your hand. Choose a rainbow of different coloured fruits and vegetables each day, for different vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals. By choosing fruits and vegetables from all the colours of the rainbow you are helping your body get what it needs for health and well-being. Eat at least 3-4 servings of non-starchy vegetables each day and 3-4 servings of fruit spread throughout the day. A serving is generally half a cup or what fits into the palm of your hand.
