Baked whole rainbow trout with garlic pea mash

I have seen some amazing rainbow trout at the fishmongers, and a pea mash is a perfect Spring idea - this transitional season needs something fresh but comforting all at the same time.

Thank you Jez for this recipe!

Recipe of the week - Dukkah, an Egyptian nutty, earthy salty crumble

Dukkah

This is an Egyptian "nutty, earthy salty crumble" usually made with hazelnuts, sesame seeds and spices, like this version.

So easy to make. You can use any nuts you like and switch it all up.

It instantly boosts a salad and so handy midweek to add some quick flavour.

You can coat fish with it, sprinkle it over eggs, or use commonly with a combination of olive oil and flatbread.

Many uses and so delicious!
