  1. RICE WITH MOROCCAN SPICE

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice and place in a pot with the Morrocan Rub to taste and 150ml of salted water. Stir through, pop on a lid, and place over a medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. CHAR THOSE LEEKS

    Cut the trimmed leek in half lengthways, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Place on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Turn cut-side up and roast in the hot oven for 10-15 minutes until charred and softened.

  3. MARINATE & BAKE THE HAKE

    In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, the harissa, and the juice of 1 lemon wedge. Mix in salt, pepper, and ½ a tsp of a sweetener of choice until well combined. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and place skin-side down on a lightly greased baking tray. Use half of the harissa yoghurt to evenly coat the flesh. Bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and flakey. (The time this takes will depend on the thickness of the fillet.)

  4. TOAST THE ALMONDS

    Place the flaked almonds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  5. TIME TO FINISH UP

    Place the rinsed green leaves in a bowl with a drizzle of oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside for serving. Loosen the remaining harissa yoghurt with milk or water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  6. TIME TO DINE

    Make a bed of Moroccan rice and top with the spiced hake, the dressed leaves, and the roast leeks. Drizzle the harissa yoghurt dressing over the hake. Garnish with the toasted almond flakes, chopped cranberries, and chopped parsley. Good job, Chef!
