  1. SPICY QUINOA

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the quinoa and place in a pot with Moroccan rub. Submerge in 200ml of water. Pop on a lid, place over a medium-high heat, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water if required during cooking. On completion, drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace lid and allow to stand off the heat for at least 5 minutes.

  2. CHAR THOSE LEEKS

    Cut the trimmed leeks in half lengthways, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Roughly chop into bite-sized chunks. Place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the chopped leeks for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting frequently.

  3. STEP NAME

    In a bowl, combine the yoghurt, harissa, and juice of 1 lemon wedge. Mix in salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice (all to taste!) until well combined. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and place skin-side down on a lightly greased baking tray. Coat the flesh in ½ of the harissa yoghurt. 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 NUTS

    Place the slivered 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. Mix the sautéed leeks through the cooked quinoa and season to taste. Loosen the remaining harissa yoghurt with milk or water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  6. DINE TIME

    Make a bed of Moroccan quinoa and top with the spiced hake and dressed leaves. Drizzle the remaining harissa yoghurt dressing over the hake. Garnish with the toasted slivered almond, chopped dates, and chopped dill. Good job, Chef!
