Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

1 cup dried lentils (or 1 tin cooked lentils)
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 T hot olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 T sambal oelek (or chilli paste)
2 t mustard seeds
handful of chopped coriander
1 l vegetable stock
1 t tamarind paste
1 t turmeric
4 portions of dorado (or any other firm white fish)

Cooking Instructions

Gently cook dried lentils according to package instructions. Drain if necessary.

In a separate saucepan over a medium to low heat, fry finely chopped shallots in hot olive oil until softened.

Fold in crushed garlic, sambal oelek and mustard seeds. Add the lentils and a handful of chopped coriander and keep on a gentle heat until warmed through.

To poach the fish: Combine the organic vegetable stock with the tamarind paste and turmeric. Bring to a gentle simmer, place the portioned fish into the liquid and poach for about 10 minutes until opaque and tender but still firm.

Serve the fish atop generous helpings of dhal.
