IF you are one of those who enjoy deep-fried fish, you can break away from the monotony by trying out charcoal-grilled fish.
Geoffrey Babu Ghirana, a nutritionist, says grilling is healthier than other ways of cooking. “Charcoal grilled fish is oil-free as opposed to the deep-fried one,†Babu explains. He says grilling enables the fish retain its flavour and colour. Besides, he notes, it takes less time to prepare.
Chef Bosco Mudedya of Kembabazi Catering, also recommends charcoal grilling with the recipe below.
Ingredients
1 medium tilapia fish
1 onion, grated
1 egg, beaten
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon, Royco mchuzi mix
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 lemon
2 inch ginger, chopped
A pinch of salt to taste.
Method
Scale and clean the fish
Make slight slits on both sides of the fish
Mix all the spices to make a marinade
Place the fish in the mixture of contents and marinate for about 20 minutes
Grill on low fire until golden brown on both sides
Serve with Lyonaisse potatoes and tartar sauce. Lyonaisse potatoes is a
French dish of sliced pan-fried potatoes and thinly sliced onions sautéed (lightly fried) in butter or vegetable oil with parsley and other seasoning.
