Fried Hake Salad

Ingredients for Fried Hake:
- 2-3 Hake fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup flour (plus 1 tablespoon reserved)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Nando’s chilli sauce
- Vegetable oil (for frying)

Ingredients for Salad:
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1/4 cup pepperdew, sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- Greek salad dressing (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade for Hake:*
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, 1 tablespoon of flour, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, honey, and Nando’s chilli sauce. Add a small amount of water until the marinade is smooth.

2. Marinate the Fish:
Add the hake pieces to the marinade, coating each piece thoroughly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes in the fridge to absorb the flavors.

3. Fry the Fish:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat each piece of marinated hake with the reserved flour, shaking off any excess. Fry in small batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

4. Assemble the Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, pepperdew, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with Greek salad dressing and toss to combine.

5. Top with Fried Hake:
Place the crispy fried hake pieces on top of the salad for a hearty, flavorful meal.

Each fruit in this salad complements the others to create a synergistic effect:

- Pineapple: Rich in vitamin C and bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion and reduces inflammation.
- Strawberries: Loaded with antioxidants, fibre, and vitamin C, strawberries help boost immunity and support heart health.
- Blueberries: Packed with powerful antioxidants like anthocyanins, blueberries protect against oxidative stress and boost brain health.
- Dates: Natural sweetness combined with fiber, potassium, and magnesium supports digestive health and balances blood sugar levels.
- Kiwi: High in vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants, kiwi aids in digestion and boosts immune function.
- Mint: Adds a refreshing flavor while promoting digestion and soothing inflammation.
Pineapple Juice enhances the salad’s tropical flavor and adds extra vitamin C, complementing the antioxidant-rich ingredients.

Together, these fruits create a harmony of nutrients that promote immune health, support digestion, and provide an antioxidant boost. The combination of colors reflects a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, turning this fruit salad into a true “rainbow” of nutrition.

West African Fish Sauce with Mackerel

Ingredients:

- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 onion
- A handful of curry leaves
- A few sprigs of rosemary
- 2 mackerel fillets (boneless, if possible)
- 2 tablespoons organic coconut oil
- Salt, to taste
- 1-2 stock cubes (optional)
- Water, as needed

Instructions:

1. Pre-Boil the Fish: In a pot, add the mackerel fillets with a little water. Bring to a gentle boil for about 5 minutes. Remove the fish, let it cool, and carefully remove any remaining bones.

2. Blend the Sauce: In a blender, combine the red bell peppers, onion, curry leaves, and rosemary. Blend until smooth.

3. Cook the Sauce: In a separate pot, heat the organic coconut oil over medium heat. Add the blended mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the oil begins to separate.

4. Combine: Gently fold in the pre-boiled mackerel. Add a splash of water if needed to achieve your desired consistency. Season with salt and add stock cubes for extra flavor, stirring well.

5. Serve: Allow the sauce to simmer for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve hot over rice or alongside your favorite side dishes.

Enjoy this rich and flavorful West African fish sauce that highlights the delicate taste of mackerel!
