Flathead with barley and chickpeas

Cooking Fish Flathead with barley and chickpeas

Barley and chickpeas are an unlikely support for this flathead show stopper.

  1. Heat half the oil in a large saucepan on medium. Saute onion for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add barley and cook for 2 minutes, until toasted.
  2. Add hot stock, one ladle at a time, stirring after each addition, until stock absorbed. Repeat until all stock has been used and barley is cooked until just tender (about 25-30 minutes, adding capsicum and zucchini with the last ladle).
  3. Stir chickpeas through. Cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring continually.
  4. Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large frying pan on high. Cook fish for 2-3 minutes each side until cooked to taste. Serve barley and chickpeas topped with fish and rocket.
