Instructions

Prep

1 Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
  • Wash and drain the rice.
  • Peel and finely chop the onions.
Cook onions

2 Cook onions

  • Heat a large pot with a lid over medium-high heat.
  • Add a small drizzle of oil and fry the almond flakes for 1-2 min until lightly golden and toasted. Transfer to a plate.
  • Return the pot to the heat, add the onions and fry for 6-8 min until softened and browned.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve some almond flakes as "sprinkles" to the side.
Make turmeric rice

3 Make turmeric rice

  • Once the onions have browned, add the turmeric, arabic mix masala, coriander powder, and drained rice.
  • Fry for 1-2 min further, stirring to coat the grains in the oil.
  • Add the chicken stock cube, measured water and bring to a boil over a high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 12-14 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.
  • Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and keep covered until serving.
Bake fish

4 Bake fish

  • Meanwhile, line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Cut the lemon in wedges.
  • Drain and rinse the fish over a sink and sprinkle generously with salt and squeeze a lemon wedge over.
  • Rinse under cold water and pat dry with kitchen paper.
  • Place the fish on the baking tray, add a drizzle of olive oil, and rub with paprika, cumin powder, lemon pepper seasoning, and a small pinch of salt.
  • Bake for 12-15 min until the fish is cooked through and flakey.
Make tahini salad

5 Make tahini salad

  • Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the garlic.
  • Chop the tomatoes and cucumber into very small bite-sized pieces.
  • Pick and finely chop the parsley.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the tahini, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, 1 Tbsp of water, and a small pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Whisk until the sauce is a smooth consistency first, then fold in the garlic, tomatoes, cucumber, and parsley. Set aside.
Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve some tomatoes and cucumbers separately.
Serve

6 Serve

  • Divide the turmeric rice and fish amongst plates, and garnish with almond flakes on top.
  • Serve with the tahini salad and any remaining lemon wedges.
Tip! If cooking for kids, divide the fish, rice, and vegetables separately. Serve the almond flakes as "sprinkles" to the side.
