Method
Tomato Oil: Grate the tomatoes on the coarse side of a box grater, discarding the skin that gets
left behind. Add to a bowl along with the garlic, vinegar, sugar and ½ tsp flaky sea salt and set
aside. Add the olive oil to a small pot and place over medium heat. Heat the oil until it is very hot
but not smoking, then remove from heat and stir through the spices. Pour the hot spice oil over
the tomato mixture and mix together. Season to taste with salt and set aside to serve.
Fish Skewers: Pat the fish dry and cut into strips roughly 2cm thick, set aside. Add the
remaining ingredients to a bowl along with 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp flaky sea salt. Whisk
together until combined, then toss through the strips of fish. Set aside to marinate until ready to
cook. Thread the fish onto metal skewers, folding and piercing in a zigzag pattern (see video for
reference). Drizzle the skewers generously with more olive oil.
Preheat your BBQ to high. Cook the skewers for 6-8 minutes, turning often using a spatula to
scrape them off the grill, until cooked through.
To Serve: Add the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, onion, coriander, garlic, lemon juice and a
drizzle of olive oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and toss together. Warm the pita breads
in the microwave. Season the yoghurt lightly with salt.
Serve the fish skewers with the yoghurt, tomato oil, salad and pitas. Garnish with some fresh
dill, if desired.
