Cooked in the halogen oven, this traditional Mexican recipe will make a delicious treat for all the family in no time at all.

Place the red onion with the olive oil on the round oven tray on the low rack in the halogen oven. Cook at 260°C (500°F) for 5 minutes.

Ingredients

100g/3 ½ oz mushrooms
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Large handful of spinach leaves
Small bunch of dill
1 lime
Freshly milled black pepper
Large whole fish, such as sea bass or salmon, gutted, about 900g/200lb
55g/2 oz flaked almonds

Here’s a delicious halogen oven recipe from Norma Miller.

Method

Mushroom, spinach and dill is my choice of stuffing, but try breadcrumbs, fennel and watercress leaves for a change. You will need a large roasting tin which fits in your oven.

1.Remove the lid from the halogen oven, place the low rack inside the oven and replace the lid. Preheat the halogen oven to 200°C (392°F).

2.Prepare the stuffing: finely chop the mushrooms and put into the roasting tray with 1 tbsp of the oil. Put into the hot oven and cook for 6-8 minutes until the mushrooms are beginning to sizzle. Remove from the oven and spoon the mushrooms into a bowl.

3.Thinly shred the spinach leaves and dill. Grate the rind from the lime, cut in half and squeeze out the juice. Stir them all into the bowl or mushrooms and add a little black pepper.

4.Spoon the stuffing into the body cavity of the fish. Carefully lift the fish into the roasting tin. Make three or four diagonal cuts on the side of the fish, drizzle over the remaining oil and scatter over the almonds.

5.Cover and cook in the hot oven for 40-55 minutes until piping hot and cooked through, but start looking to see if it is cooked from 35 minutes onwards. (The time will depend on the thickness of the fish.) Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes.

200 g/7.1 oz fresh breadcrumbs
60 ml/2.1 uk fl oz chicken stock
6 rashers streaky bacon
salt and finely crushed black pepper

Method

1. Preheat the halogen oven to 210°C (410°F).

2. Heat half the butter and cook the garlic, celery, onion and pepper until soft about 10 minutes but this will vary. Add the apricots, lemon zest and juice, herbs, breadcrumbs and season mix.

3. Gradually add enough stock to make the stuffing moist but not wet.

4. Lay the turkey breast out flat, skinned side down. Spoon the stuffing down the middle then roll up and tie. Place the turkey breast upwards, smear with remaining butter and cover with the bacon.

5. Cover with foil, place on the low rack in the halogen oven and roast for 30 minutes per kilo plus 30 minutes extra, removing the foil for the last 30 minutes. Check the juices run clear, remove then leave to rest for 20 minutes. Serve sliced with a selection of roasted vegetables.
