Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • ½ cup coriander, coarsely torn (firmly packed)
  • To serve: lime wedges
Flatbread
  • 10 gm dried yeast
  • 310 gm bread flour
  • 250 gm wholegrain organic flour (see note)
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 50 ml olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
Aïoli
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 220 ml vegetable oil
Avocado purée
  • 1 large avocado (about 250gm), flesh coarsely chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method

Main
  • 1
    For flatbread, preheat oven to 180C. Combine yeast and 310ml cold water in a bowl, whisk to combine. Combine flours, sugar and 1 tsp fine salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and mix to combine. Add yeast mixture then oil and mix on medium speed until dough is shiny and elastic (8-10 minutes). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until doubled in size (1 hour). Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 balls. Roll out each ball into a 14cm-long oval shape, place on baking trays lined with baking paper, drizzle with oil, season to taste and bake, in batches, until golden and cooked through (8-10 minutes). Flatbread is best eaten on day of making.

    Meanwhile for aïoli, process garlic, yolk, vinegar and mustard in a small food processor until combined. With motor running, add oil in a thin steady stream until incorporated and emulsified (2-3 minutes). Season to taste and refrigerate until required. Makes about 250ml.

    Place snapper fillets on a baking tray lined with baking paper, drizzle with oil, season to taste and roast until snapper is just cooked through (6-8 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.

  • 5
    Coarsely flake snapper and transfer to a bowl, add spring onions and half the aïoli (remainder will keep refrigerated for 4 days), season to taste and stir to combine.
  • 6
    Top flatbread with avocado purée and snapper mixture, scatter over coriander and remaining spring onion, drizzle with oil, season to taste and serve with lime wedges.
