\n\u00bd\u20131 Scotch bonnet chili
\n\u00bc of a green pepper
\n3 cloves of garlic
\n2 spring onions
\n1 bunch each of fresh basil and coriander , (30g)
\n1 handful of celery leaves, (optional)
\n20 g coconut oil
\n1 x 1 kg red snapper, scaled, cleaned, gutted, from sustainable sources
\n1 plantain
\nolive oil
\n\u00bd a ripe avocado
\nSALSA
\n3 x \u2153 each of red, yellow, and green peppers
\n2 ripe plum tomatoes
\n\u00bd a red onion
\n3 cloves of garlic
\n\u00bd a cucumber
\n4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
\n1 tablespoon West Indian hot pepper sauce
\nBREADFRUIT BEIGNETS
\n\u00bd a breadfruit, (400g)
\n10 g unsalted butter
\n75 g panko breadcrumbs
\n750 ml vegetable oil, for frying<\/p>\n
\nUse a sharp knife to score the fish all over on both sides, about 1cm deep. Rub over the marinade, getting it into all the slashes, then cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
\nFor the salsa, deseed and finely chop the peppers. Cut a cross into the bottom of each tomato, plunge them into boiling water for 40 seconds, then peel away the skin.
\nPeel the red onion and garlic, trim the cucumber, then finely chop it all with most of the remaining coriander, mixing as you go.
\nScrape into a bowl, stir in the vinegar and hot pepper sauce, then season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper.
\nTo make the beignets, chop the breadfruit into large wedges and cook in boiling salted water with the lid ajar for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender, then drain.
\nRemove the skin and core, then mash while hot with the butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the salsa, then season to perfection.
\nDivide the mixture into 20 balls, then roll them in the breadcrumbs and place on a tray. Put aside.
\nJust under half fill a large sturdy pan with oil \u2013 the oil should be 8cm deep, but never fill your pan more than half full \u2013 and place on medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to tell when it\u2019s ready (170\u00b0C), or add a piece of potato and wait until it turns golden \u2013 that\u2019s the sign that it\u2019s ready to go.
\nMeanwhile, preheat the oven to 220\u00baC\/425\u00baF\/gas 7, and preheat a large ovenproof frying pan or non-stick roasting tray on high heat on the hob.
\nPut in the snapper to char and color for 2 minutes on each side, then transfer to the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through. To test if it\u2019s done, insert a small, sharp knife into the thickest part just behind the head \u2013 the fish should flake away.
\nWhile it cooks, peel the plantain and halve lengthways. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a frying pan on medium-high heat, and cook the plantain for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden. Season.
\nCarefully drop 6 beignets into the hot vegetable oil and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden, crisp and they rise to the surface. Scoop out and drain on kitchen paper (freeze the rest before frying, to defrost and cook fresh another day).
\nServe the fish with salsa, beignets, and plantain. Halve, destone, and scoop over the avocado, and finish with a scattering of coriander leaves. Any leftover salsa will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.<\/p>\n
