A SAMBAL ENSEMBLE
In a bowl, combine the diced Tomato, diced onion, ½ of the picked coriander, lemon zest (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the mayo with water in 5ml increments until slightly loosened.
AVO SOME Avocado
Halve the Avocado and set aside the half containing the pip for another meal. Peel off the avocado skin, keeping the flesh of the remaining half intact. Place a pan or griddle pan over a medium-high heat. Brush the cut-side of the avocado with oil. Grill the avocado, cut-side down, for 3-5 minutes or until grill-lines begin to form on the avocado. On completion, slice and toss with the juice of 1 lemon wedge, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
DELISH FRIED Fish
Place a pot over a medium-high heat. Fill with enough oil to deep-fry the swordfish. In a bowl, combine the flour mix, the spice mix, and seasoning. Gradually mix in 60ml of water until a smooth batter forms. Add an extra splash of water if the batter looks too thick. When the oil is hot, dip the Fish pieces into the batter. Using a pair of tongs, carefully lower each piece into the hot oil. Deep-fry for 3-6 minutes until the batter is golden and crispy. Remove from the pan, drain on paper towel, and season.
ROTIS MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT
Place a clean pan over a medium heat. When hot, warm the roti for about 30-60 seconds per side, until heated through and lightly toasted.
