Directions
Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
THE SAUCE
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Add garlic and diced tomato, cooking until tomatoes break down and form a thick base (about 5–7 minutes).
Stir in Chermoula spice, then pour in cream. Simmer gently for 2 minutes, then blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
THE ROSTI
Squeeze excess moisture from the grated potato using a clean tea towel.
Mix potato with garlic, cornflour, salt, and pepper.
Heat oil in a high sided frying pan over medium-high heat.
Press the potato mixture into small patties and fry until golden and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Keep warm.
FOR THE VEGETABLES
- Toss courgette and cherry tomatoes in olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 10–15 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
THE FISH
Meanwhile pat fish fillets dry and season with salt and pepper.
Rub with Chermoula spice mix, then dust with cornflour.
Coat again lightly with Chermoula for extra flavour.
Heat oil in a pan and fry fish fillets until golden and crisp on both sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
