1 Buy two 1.5kg fish (tarakihi or snapper) and get them gutted and scaled. Slash the top side of the fish with 3 cuts.
2 In your mortar and pestle or food processor grind the following:
3 tbsp toasted cumin seeds
12 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
3 tsp salt
3 Transfer into a bowl and mix in the juice of 3 lemons.
4 Place the fish in a large shallow baking pan and rub the spice mixture all over the fish (inside and out). Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins. Preheat the oven to 200.
5 Remove fish from the fridge. Slice 3 peeled carrots, 12 new potatoes, 1 lemon and 2 green chillies and scatter around the fish.
