  1. FRESH SALAD

    Using a spoon or a knife, gently scoop out the seeds from the cucumber and cut into half-moons. In a bowl, add the lemon juice (to taste), and a sweetener (optional). Add the halved tomatoes, the sliced cucumber, and ¼ of the sliced onion (to taste). Toss to combine and season.

  2. GARLICKY QUINOA

    Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the remaining sliced onion until soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add grated garlic and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add the rinsed quinoa, and 150ml of water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the tails have popped out, 12-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain (if necessary). Set aside to steam, about 5 minutes.

  3. HERBACEOUS YOGHURT

    Rinse the mixed herbs and roughly chop. In a bowl, combine the yoghurt with ½ the chopped herbs. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.

  4. HEAVENLY HAKE

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the hake dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. DIVE INTO DINNER

    Dish up the quinoa and top with the hake. Serve the tangy cucumber & tomato salad on the side. Drizzle it all with the herb yoghurt and garnish with the remaining chopped herbs. Well done, Chef!
