Grilled Fish on Skewers

"This recipe comes from a Moroccan cookbook that I once found in a bargain book shop. You can either use the grill on your oven or BBQ them. They are really tasty and served with green salad they make a light meal. The coriander in this recipe refers to fresh leaves/cilantro, not the seeds. The preparation time includes time for marinating, otherwise it would only be about 15 minutes."

Ingredients

  • 700 g thick firm white fish fillets, cut into 1 inch cubes (such as monkfish or cod)
  • 1⁄2 onion, very finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch saffron
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  • In a bowl mix all ingredients apart from the fish.
  • Add the fish to the marinade and make sure it is coated all over.
  • Leave to marinate for at least two hours, stirring from time to time.
  • Divide the fish onto four skewers. (Tip: If you use bamboo ones soak them in water beforehand to stop them from burning).
  • Place under a hot grill or onto the BBQ and leave for about 8 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Turn only once.
