KINGKLIP TIME
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the kingklip dry with some paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, fry the kingklip, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and fry the other side for a further 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan, reserving the oil in the pan, and set the kingklip aside.
SAYADIEH
Return the pan, with the oil, to a medium-high heat. When hot, add the sliced Onion and fry for 7-9 minutes until soft, browned and caramelized, shifting occasionally. On completion, add the rinsed rice, the cinnamon, the Turmeric, the grated garlic, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined and fry for 2-4 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the tomato paste and 225ml of water. Mix until fully combined and leave to simmer for 10-12 minutes. In the final 5 minutes, top the rice with the browned kingklip and cover the pot with tinfoil. On completion, most of the water should be absorbed and the rice should be fully cooked.
BITS & BOBS
In a bowl, combine the rinsed green leaves, a drizzle of oil, ¾ of the Sultanas, and ½ the flaked almonds. In a separate bowl, combine the tahini and the juice from 1 lemon wedge. Add water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.
LEBANESE FEAST!
Serve up a bed of the cinnamon rice with the kingklip on top, and drizzle over the Tahini dressing. Sprinkle over the remaining Almonds and Sultanas. Side with the salad and any remaining lemon wedges. Sahtein, Chef!
