Peri Peri Mahi Mahi




This is a wonderfully simple way to serve mahi mahi, I marinated in Peri Peri (an African spice blend) and served over cous cous with mixed vegetables. Also I just wanted to say Peri Peri Mahi Mahi!

 Peri Peri is a popular South African seasoning in fact there is a restaurant chain in the UK called nandos that marinates chicken in it and grills it very tasty. Today is a perfect day to feature the recipe as my guest on Chow and Chatter Blog Talk radio Maye Musk is from South Africa and has the coolest accent!

Ingredients: 

  • 2 pieces of mahi mahi
  • about 3 tablespoons of Peri Peri,
  • olive oil
  • a little lemon juice
  • a pack of cous cous 
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
Method:

  1. mix the Peri Peri with olive oil and marinate the fish in it for 2 hours, be careful gets very spicy if you use a lot!
  2. then pan saute the fish about 5-7 minutes on each side
  3. get water boiling and add vegetables, then add cous cous and let it sit till soft
  4. drizzle lemon juice over fish and serve
A great and easy meal for busy evenings, that packs a punch.

Has anyone else got any good Peri Peri recipes (I know Doc from whats cookin with Doc makes his own blend :-)

    Your show time seems to conflict with my deep night, so will catch up with the podcast later. Enjoy!
