Baked Fish with Mushroom Caponata by / Serves 4-6

Ingredients:
• 2 onions, diced
• 2 green peppers, chopped
• 500g white button mushrooms, sliced
• 100g black kalamata olives, pitted & sliced in half
• 50g capers
• 3 Tbsp tomato paste
• 2 Tbsp water
• 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

• Olive oil
• 700g white fish, filleted & deboned
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 350g baby potatoes, to serve
• Fresh dill, for serving

Method:

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick frying pan and sauté the onion until tender. Add the green pepper and mushrooms and simmer over medium-high heat for a few minutes until all the water is cooked out of the mushrooms.

Add the tomato paste and oregano and cook for 2 minutes. Add the water and vinegar and simmer. Finally add the olives and capers and taste for seasoning. Simmer for a few minutes to blend flavours.

Preheat oven to 220˚C, move rack to the top third of the oven and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Brush the baking paper with olive oil and place the fish on top.

Season the fish well with salt, pepper and oregano. Drizzle the top with olive oil and spread the garlic evenly over the fillets. Bake for 5-8 minutes depending on fillet sizes.

Serve the baked fish topped with a generous amount of mushroom caponata, fresh dill and some steamed baby potatoes.

The delightful pairing of chocolate and creates an incredibly rich and luxurious flavor experience.

Why not celebrate a special day by whipping up a delicious Avo Chocolate Mousse? It’s the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth while enjoying something a little different. Enjoy!

AVOCADO CHOCOLATE MOUSSE by | Serves 4

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
• 250 g good quality dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 large ripe avocados
• 120 ml milk (or a little more for preferred consistency)
1-2 tablespoons honey (optional)

FOR THE GARNISH:
• Fresh berries
• Grated dark chocolate

Method:
1. Place the chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl and either microwave on medium heat using 30 second bursts (stirring between each) or set over a pan of lightly simmering water – do not allow the base of the bowl to touch the water (stirring frequently), until melted and smooth.
NOTE : When the chocolate is almost melted, remove from the heat and just stir through until smooth to avoid over-heating. Set aside to cool slightly whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Cut the avocados in half and de-pip. Scoop the flesh into the bowl of a food processor.
Add ¾ of the milk to the avocado and blend until smooth.
3. Add the melted chocolate to the blender and blend into the other ingredients until smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the blender bowl and add the rest of the milk a tablespoon at a time blending until the mousse is the desired consistency (it will thicken a little further as it cools and sets).
4. Taste the mousse for sweetness. If you feel it needs more sweetness (it will very much depend on personal preference and on the type of chocolate used), add a little honey (1-2 tablespoons) and blend again. You may also choose to add more milk than the recipe indicates if you want your mousse to be 'looser'.
5. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh berries, and serve.

Although it will keep well for 3 to 4 days, the mousse is best when eaten when freshly made.
