Fish ā€˜N’ Chips

Fish ā€˜N’ Chips

Back to a bit of a classic really. We don’t often have flaky Fish, in fact I think this is the first time in over four years. But we were kindly given some Cod and decided to do Cod, Chips Peas and DIY Tartar (Style) Sauce.

The Batter for the Fish was a variant of the Soda Water Tempura we’ve been tinkering with recently:-

Ingredients:-

Soda Water
Self Raising Flour (Gluten free for us)
Salt & Pepper
Ground Turmeric

The Turmeric doesn’t add a great deal to the taste, but it does give an appealing golden brown colour to the batter once it has been fried.

Sue’s Take on Tartar Sauce might not be traditional as such, but it really worked and we had the ingredients in the cupboard.

Ingredients:-

Mayonnaise
Whole grain Mustard
Gherkins, very finely chopped
Capers, finely sliced
Lemon Juice
Fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Mix it up.
(2) Dip things in it….

Quick, easy and very tasty. There’s not even a lot of washing up to deal with – Bonus!

1 Tsp of ground Cumin
1 Tsp of ground Turmeric
½ a Tsp of Fennel Seeds
2 Tsp of Chilli Powder
A 400g tin of Chopped Tomatoes, plus 400g of water
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Add to Oil to a large pan and fry the Onions until softened.
(2) Add the Garlic and Ginger and fry for a minute or so.
(3) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Add the remaining spices and stir in.
(5) Add the chopped Tomatoes and water.
