Smoorsnoek like my mom used to make
A recipe for South African smoorsnoek like my mom used to make
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 300 g of smoked snoek about 250g after bones and bits are removed
- 2 large potatoes or 3 smaller potatoes - peeled and cut into small cubes
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 T olive oil
- 1 good knob of butter about 40g
- 2 T of finely chopped parsley
- a pinch of dried chilli flakes
- black pepper
- freshly cut lemon for squeezing on afterward
- steamed rice I like Basmati to serve
Instructions
- Flake the smoked fish making sure you remove all the bones and set them aside.
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a wide non-stick pan and saute the onions until they just start going soft (about 3 minutes). Add the potatoes and cook stirring occasionally. In order to speed up the cooking of the potatoes, I placed a large lid over the pan so that they were steamed.
- If you find the mix is starting to stick to the pan, add a splash of water, stir and continue to cook. When the potatoes are almost cooked add the fish and parsley and if necessary place the lid on for a few more minutes to finish cooking the potatoes.
- Serve on steamed rice with a few good grinds of black pepper and a squeeze of lemon.
Notes
Store any leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
