Salt-baked Seabass




This is the best fish recipe ever.... The salt forms a crust and keeps the fish really moist and tasty.

whole seabass (gutted and scaled)
2kg of rocksalt
olive oil
thyme/rosemary

Brush the fish with olive oil. Cover a large baking tray with salt. Place the fish on the salt, place rosemary on top and cover it with more salt until you can't see the fish anymore. Bake the oven for 20-25 mins at 200 degrees C. Carefully remove the salt and the skin. Serve whole, with lemon and olive oil, with salad or green beans and new potatoes.

Feta-Stuffed Peppers


This is really easy and tasty. Serves 4.

4 peppers (any colours are fine)
1/2 pack feta cheese
50g sweetcorn
1 onion
3 tomatoes
herbs (chives, parsley, coriander)
50g grated cheddar

Cut the peppers lengthways in half and remove the stalk and seeds. Place on a baking tray upside down and grill until it starts to go black and soft. Place the peppers facing up in an oven dish. Chop the onions and fry for about 5 mins. When ready place into a mixing bowl. Chop the tomatoes and add to the bowl. Chop the feta into small cubes and add. If your sweetcorn is frozen, cook for about 2 mins before adding to mixture. Season and add herbs. Stuff the peppers with the mixture and cover with melted cheese. Grill until the cheese melts and goes brown. Serve with rice or crusty bread.
