Pickled Fish Traditional Pickled Fish recipe For the hake:2kg fresh hakeFlour for dustingOil for frying For the sauce:2Tbs paprika2Tbs garam masala1Tbs turmeric1Tbs smoked paprika2 fresh chilies, chopped2 cloves garlic, crushed2 onions, chopped100ml White spirit vinegar3Tbs Brown sugarCup of water Method Start by preparing the hake. Place a saucepan on high heat with a good coating of oil. While it heats, lightly dust the hake pieces in flour and gently shake off any excess flour. Drop the pieces into the oil and fry until golden. Remove once golden in colour and set aside. Next, prepare the sauce. Start by putting a pan over a medium heat with a dash of oil, and fry the onions, garlic, and chilli in a pan until caramelised. Add the paprika, smoked paprika, masala, and turmeric and fry for 5 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and stir until it’s dissolved. Finally, deglaze the pan with the water and vinegar and simmer on low heat for 25 min. After 25 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool completely. Once cool, add the fish, mix to combine, and refrigerate. It needs at least 24 hours so the fish can soak up the sauce, but you can keep it for up to two days. Hot cross buns Recipe tested and submitted by Gareth, one of our FB members. I tested this recipe myself and it works very well.I placed the dough in a preheated oven (50℃) to rise, and used an glaze made with a 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water cooked for a minute, as I didn’t have any apricot jam 1 tablespoon active dry yeast ½ cup caster sugar 1 ½ cups (375ml) milk, warm 4 ¼ cups strong bread flower (our tester used Spelt flour, you can also see more about flour types here 2 tsp cinnamon powder 2 tsp allspice (Piment) ½ tsp salt 1 ½ cups sultanas 50g unsalted butter, melted and cooled 1 egg Place flour, yeast, sugar, all spice, cinnamon and salt in a mixing bowl (best with an automatic mixer with dough hook). Mix the dry ingredients. Add butter, milk, egg and sultanas. Mix until a smooth elastic dough forms (approx. 5 minutes) Add extra flour if required, just enough sot that the dough comes away from the side of the bowl when mixing. Leave dough in the bowl, cover and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. Line a 30 x 24 cm baking tray with parchment paper (Backpapier). Remove the dough from the bowl and punch down. On a lightly dusted work surface, shape dough into a sausage and cut into 12 equal pieces Flatten each piece slightly, gather into a ball, then roll the dough briefly to form a ball. Place the ball with the smooth side up on the try. Repeat with remaining pieces. Line them up 3 x 4 on the baking tray Cover the tray and put back in the warm place for about 30 – 45 minutes, until the dough has risen by about 75% For the Crosses Mix ½ cup flour and 5 tbsp water to a thick runny paste. Spoon into a small bag and snip one corner Uncover the buns and pipe crosses onto the buns Bake in pre-heated oven (180℃) for 20 – 25 minutes until golden brown For the glazing Put1 tbsp smooth apricot jam and 2 tsp water in a bowl.

Lightly whisk the eggs and vanilla together and add to the dry ingredients, along with the milk-and-butter mixture.Gently mix the dough using your hands or a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together.Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead for 10 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and place in a warm spot for 1½ hours until doubled in size.After the dough has risen, knock it down to its original size and then roll into 12 evenly shaped buns.Place the buns on a greased baking tray and cover with clingfilm, leaving enough room for the buns to rise. Allow the buns to rise for another 30 minutes.To make the flour paste, mix the flour and water together to form a smooth paste, place in a sandwich bag and cut off one of the corners to make a piping bag.Pipe a cross onto each bun and bake for 15 minutes, or until the buns are golden and cooked through.Glaze the buns while they are still hot.
