  1. GOING FOR A SWIM

    Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the bulgur wheat in 100ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and steam for 15-20 minutes until cooked and tender. Fluff up with a fork, cover, and set aside.

  2. DIVE INTO IT

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 4-5 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. SURF AND SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the cucumber chunks, the tomato chunks, ½ the picked oregano, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning to taste. Set aside.

  4. FRYING FISH

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. SAUCY SEAFOOD

    Return the pan to a medium heat with 30g of butter. When melted, add the chopped capers and the grated garlic, and fry for 30-60 seconds until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the heat and add the juice of 1 lemon wedge and seasoning.

  6. COMBINE BEFORE YOU DINE

    When the bulgur wheat is done, add the fried onion, ½ the chopped almonds, the crumbled feta, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil to the bowl. Toss until combined.

  7. YOU’LL WANT NEPTUNE’S FORKFUL

    Plate up the loaded bulgur wheat and side with the tomato salad. Serve with the seared hake drizzled with the lemon-caper sauce. Sprinkle over the remaining oregano and almonds. Side with any remaining lemon wedges. Dig in, Chef!
