I find that sometimes, making something a little more traditional can give you a new perspective on an old favorite. I was adventurous again, and decided to combine the Nigella skills I have gained through reading her cookbooks and watching her amazing shows, by creating a meal which is so typically South African, but should be shared with the world...
I made use smoked snoek (fish), with curried rice, peas, corn and boiled egg last night. Michael had the good sense to suggest that I add some lemon to the mix, which really brought out the flavors! The smoked fish is very strong, and one needs to be careful when adding spice...so I kept it simple by using salt, pepper and some curry. It serves well as a meal on its own, but can be served with some toasted wholewheat bread if you are in the mood. I'm sure Nigella would be so proud of me! :)
Here is a pic of the traditional creation with a Nigella twist...
