25 Minutes | easy | Serves 4

These kebabs will work with a different white fish if you can’t find monkfish, although do make sure that it’s firm and meaty. Cod loin or cheeks would make a good substitute. The chutney is rich from the nuts and fragrant with herbs: try it with other fish or grilled chicken, too.

Ingredients

600g monkfish or other firm white, chunky fish (such as cod or cod cheeks), cut into large chunks
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as vegetable or groundnut)
½ teaspoon salt
75g coriander
30g mint
100g walnuts
1 green chilli
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
Large pinch salt
Pinch sugar
To serve: Flatbreads or other wraps, or rice Shredded white cabbage, cucumber or salad leaves

Directions

Lightly toast the coriander

Lightly toast the coriander and fennel seeds in a dry frying pan, then crush or grind them to a powder. Mix with the chilli powder, turmeric, salt and 1 tablespoon neutral oil.

Add the chunks

Add the chunks of fish and mix well to coat. Set aside while you make the chutney.

Combine

Combine all the chutney ingredients with a splash of water in a blender, and whizz to a paste. Set aside.

Preheat two gas burners

Preheat two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ. Thread the fish onto skewers.

Cook the fish

Cook the fish for around 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

Serve the fish kebabs

Serve the fish kebabs with the chutney, some salad and flatbreads or rice.
