Recipe type: Fish and vegies
Cuisine: New Zealand
Ingredients
- A number of large spinach leaves.
- Fillets of fish cut into pieces about the size of your thumb.
- Onion
- butter
- pepper and salt
- various herbs as in recipe below
- lemon or lime zest or juice.
Instructions
- Remove the hard stalk from the large spinach leaves by cutting them in a V shape and lay one on a board with the large end towards you. You can also add another leaf to fill any broken areas or bulk it out a bit.
- add a nob of butter at the beginning where you are going to lay the fish.....and sprinkle pepper and salt on the leaf as this seasons the whole wrap when finished..
- lay a few half rings of onion and then lay down a piece of fish.
- Add whatever you want at this point in the way of spices or herbs. I like a fine touch of star anise and lemon zest. another is to use a sliver of mango or a smudge of green curry past.... some chilli or really you can make several different ones.
- Wrap the spinach leaf up folding the edges in so you get a nicely wrapped parcel and place in a bamboo steamer or if you don't have one any steamer would do.
- Make other parcels and add them to the steamer. I find 3 per person enough.
- Put steamer on a pot and about 10 mins cooking is enough once the steam is happening.
