Step 1

Cut the crusts off the Country Life Gluten Free Bread, then dice the slices. Place them in the Robot Coupe on a high speed until they form fine breadcrumbs. Using fresh breadcrumbs gives you a nicer texture once the product has been cooked.

Step 2

To make the zhoug dressing, place the ground cumin into a bowl, along with ground cardamom, garlic cloves, pepper, caster sugar and parsley leaves. Slice the chillies down the middle, then chop them finely and add them to the ingredients. Blitz the ingredients while drizzling in some olive oil. Once it has formed a nice puree, squeeze half a lemon juice.

Step 3

Portion the flathead fillets by horizontally slicing them into strips. Lightly dust the flathead fillets with White Wings Cornflour, then place them into an egg wash and then into the breadcrumbs. Ensure all of the fillets are coated with the breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Pour the Simply Vegetable Oil into a pan and preheat on a medium heat. Once the oil begins to boil, add the flathead fillets and keep them on the heat until they begin to crisp. Once they are golden all-over, place them on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.

Message from chef Vasilios Donoudis

Vasilios Donoudis

This is my take on an Aussie-classic dish of crumbed fish fillets. The spicy zhoug dressing is from the Middle East and is a real standout for this menu option.
