Middle Eastern 30 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- Soak the saffron in rose water for at least 30 minutes.
- Crush the garlic and finely grate the ginger. Juice the lemon.
- To make the marinade, mix together the garlic, ginger, b’zar (or fish masala), turmeric, pepper, 1 tsp of salt and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Gut the fish, pat it dry with a kitchen towel, then make two or three diagonal slashes across the flesh on both sides. Rub the fish with a little salt inside and out, then set aside for approx. 5 minutes.
- Dividing it evenly, rub the marinade all over the fish, inside and out and into the slashes. Put the fish into a dish and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes, or longer if you have the time.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6.
- Lay out the vine leaves, making sure they overlap each other, on a clean counter and place the fish on top. Wrap the fish in the vine leaves and secure it with string.
- Place it on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for approx. 20 minutes or until cooked through and the leaves are crispy.
- While the fish cooks, wash the rice three times and rinse until the water runs clear.
- Smash the cardamom pods. Place the date syrup in a large pot, along with the water, cardamom, cinnamon stick and the rest of the salt. Bring to a boil and lower the heat, cooking until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and place a tight-fitting lid on top of the pot, set aside to steam for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat. When the rice is done, sprinkle the hot oil over the rice and sprinkle the saffron-rose water all over. Use a fork to mix and fluff up the rice.
- Place the rice and fish on a serving platter with some fresh coriander and serve hot.
