Braai a stuffed snoek fish this Heritage Day
Braai some stuffed snoek on Braai Day, 24 September, enough for everyone to enjoy while having a good time with family and friends.
Ingredients:
• 1 kg snoek fish
• Grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese (150-200g)
• 2 tablespoons of garlic and herb
• 2 sliced or diced red and white onions
• Melted garlic butter
• Steak and chops spice
• Garlic salt and black pepper
• Red, yellow and green peppers
• 1 or 2 mushrooms
• 2 tablespoon of lemon juice or 2 lemons
• Foil
How to prepare it:
• Wash all the vegetables you have diced and make sure they’re lined up neatly in a plate, and put them aside (along with the grated cheese).
• Wash and dry the snoek and trim away any visible fins.
• Cut the snoek (butterfly-like) in half (not the whole way to the other side) just enough to stuff your ingredients.
• With a small brush, brush the inside of the snoek with melted garlic butter.
• Season with some spices of your choice, along with some garlic salt and black pepper.
• Place the skin side of the snoek on top of a foil (enough to cover/wrap the fish) brush the lemon juice (squeeze the lemons) on both sides of fish.
• Stuff the vegetables in the fish (try placing them neatly).
• Close the snoek and wrap with foil to hold all the juices in, then put onto the braai.
• Braai for 20 minutes turning it once half way
• Remove foil after 20 minutes and braai another 15 – 20 minutes, turning the fish occasionally until golden brown.
• Use remaining lemon juice or lemons to apply on the snoek while braaing.
Now your ready, cut the fish in pieces/sizes you prefer, dish up for everyone, and enjoy with some refreshments.
