Fish with Garbanzo and Cantaloupe

I know that you are thinking that I have lost my mind.  But this works wonderfully, together.  Chris questioned my sanity when I started placing the dishes on the tables. He agreed with me, after trying the wrap, this is great.
You will only need a half pound of fish because this is a very hearty and filling meal. You can purchase naan or flat bread, but I have included the recipe.  The seasoning recipe for the fish is also included and only takes a few minutes to mix.  You will have quite a bit left over.  Just store it in a cool place.
I made the flat bread first.  While it was cooking, I prepared the fish, drained and rinsed the garbanzo beans, zested and juiced the limes,  chopped the onions, minced the garlic, and sliced the cantaloupe.  Cooking the bread takes the longest time in this meal.  Once that is completed, the fish and vegetables take less than fifteen minutes to cook. 

Ingredients

1/2 pound of Firm, White Fish
 Eastern Mediterranean Seasoning, recipe below
1 can of Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
1 bunch of  Green Onions, cleaned, chopped and green tips reserved for garnish
1 cup of Matchstick Carrots
1 teaspoon of Garlic, minced
1/2 cup of Lime Juice
zest from 2 Limes
Salt and Pepper
Sepay Groves Olive Oil

1 teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of  Cayenne powder
1 teaspoon of Ground Cloves
2 teaspoons of Ground Ginger
2 teaspoons of Ground Allspice
4 teaspoons of Cumin
4 teaspoons of Nutmeg

Directions

1. Mix seasonings, except for salt and pepper, together and set aside.

2. Season Fish, lightly,  with salt, pepper, and  Eastern Mediterranean Seasoning. 

3 Heat enough olive oil in a large skillet to liberally coat the bottom.  You want enough oil so that the fish does not  stick to the pan.  Carefully place seasoned fish in the heated oil.  Cook on both sides until cooked through.  This will only take about 5 to 7 minutes.  Transfer to a plate.

4. Add lime juice, garbanzo beans, carrots, and garlic to the hot skillet.  Cook until the garlic smells sweet.  About 5 minutes.  Use a little water to keep the pan from drying out, if needed. Transfer to a bowl.

5. Serve fish, garbanzo bean mixture, and cantaloupe slices on flatbread, garnish with lime zest and green onion tops..

For Flat bread

Ingredients
 
3 cups of Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of Sugar
1 Egg
3/4 cup of Warm Water
Olive Oil

Directions
 
1. Place the pan or ceramic pizza cooker in the oven and then heat the oven to 500 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups of flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.  Stir lightly and then make a well in the middle.  Add 1 egg and combine with the flour, using a large spoon.  Heat 3/4 cup of water and pour over the flour and egg.  Mix thoroughly.  Divide into 8 even balls.

3. Pour  a small amount of oil in the center of a pastry sheet or large piece of wax paper. Take the first ball and roll it in the oil and then using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick.  Place it on the heated pan or pizza cooker that is heated in the oven.  Close the door of the oven and let it cook 5 to 7 minutes. It should start to bubble. Flip the bread before the piece starts to brown.  Close the oven door and let it finish cooking.  The bread will take on an opaque appearance.  Try to keep it from browning too much.  That will make the bread crispy and it will not fold up well.  Continue to cook the bread until you have used all 8 balls of dough.


Enjoy!
