Saffron Roasted Tomatoes With Snapper For 3 Hungry Tummies' 1st Birthday


We cooked up this beautiful dish to celebrate 3hungrytummies' first birthday just over a month ago. The 2 tummies had chosen the dish from an old Cuisine magazine (New Zealand) and did the shopping so it was a bit of a group effort here. This is a very straight forward dish but the combination of flavours will sure to blow your mind away. Personally I am not sure if the saffron is necessary so feel free to omit that altogether. 
P.S To my Muslim friends, halal beef chorizo is now available at good supermarkets.



recipe adapted from The Cuisine Magazine (NZ)
pre-heated oven at 180 C
serves 3
you''ll need;
3 red snapper or barramundi fillets
2 chorizo sausages, sliced
20 cherry tomatoes on the vine
1 red onion, cut into chunks
3 garlic cloves, sliced
a small amount of saffron strands, soaked in 1/4 cup of hot water (optional)*
1/2 cup of stock
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
*add an extra 1/4 cup of stock if saffron is not being used.



Prepare the ingredients.



Pan fry the fish fillets for a minute per side. Set aside.



Saute garlic and onion with a little olive oil then add in the sausages let the slices colour a little. Place the mixture in a roasting pan and top with the cherry tomatoes.



Place fish on top of the mixture and pour the stock and saffron water over. season well with salt and pepper and bake in a pre heated oven for 15 minutes.



We also roasted some kifler potatoes with garlic and rosemary.



Our finished meal to celebrate the big day.
