  • 2 garlic clove
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 680g fish pie mix
  • 500g cherry vine tomatoes
  • 4 mini cucumbers
  • 100g peppery salad mix
From your kitchen

  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 3 tsp olive oil
You'll need
  • Measuring jug
  • Baking tray
Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill and boil your kettle. Pop the skewers into a large bowl or dish of water to soak – this helps to stop them catching and burning when they’re under the grill.

  • 2.

    Tip the bulgar wheat into a large heatproof bowl. Pour in 150ml boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Stir, then cover with a plate and set aside to soak for 15 mins.

  • 3.

    While the bulgar soaks, make the chermoula. Zest and juice the lime into a small bowl. Finely chop the coriander leaves and stalks. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Add both to the bowl. Measure out 1 tsp each ground cumin and smoked paprika, then stir them in. Add a little salt and pepper and 2 tbsp water. Stir to mix then set to one side.

  • 4.

    Heat your grill to high. Line a baking tray with foil. Thread the fish pie mix onto the skewers and lay them on the foil-lined baking tray. Brush each fish kebab with ½ tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Snip the cherry vine tomatoes into 2 bunches and pop them onto the tray. Grill the kebabs for 8-10 mins, turning once or twice, till the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

  • 5.

    While the kebabs cook, halve and roughly chop the mini cucumbers. Drain the bulgar wheat if needed, then tip back into the bowl and add 1 tsp olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Toss to mix.

  • 6.

    Serve the fish kebabs and cherry vine tomatoes with the bulgar wheat, the lime and coriander chermoula, the salad leaves and cucumber on the side.
