- Ingredients
Steps
- Preheat oven to 200oC.
- Place carraway seeds into a small frypan and toast over medium heat until very fragrant, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and process until fine. Set aside.
- Place a medium frypan over medium high heat. Add oil and when hot, add shallots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add eggplant and cook for 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add passata, ½ cup water, vinegar, ground carraway and salt and simmer until liquid reduces, about 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season cod and place skin side up into a baking dish the same length as the fillet. Pour sauce around the outer edge of the fillet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- For the bread, combine self raising flour, 100-110ml water and salt in a bowl and combine to a soft dough. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Heat oil in a large frypan to 190oC.
- Roll out dough to 5mm thickness and cut into squares. Deep fry until puffy and golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Place onto paper towel to drain and sprinkle with salt while still hot.
- For the tahini dressing, place tahini, lemon juice, 60ml water and salt in a small food processor and blend to a smooth pourable consistency. Set aside.
- To serve, drizzle dressing over fish and garnish with lemon wedges. Serve with bread on the side.
