Devilled Sprats

A treat for you tastebuds with this fiery Sprat Recipe

Ingredients

potato or rice flour, for dusting
1 tsp cayenne pepper
olive oil, for greasing
500 g sprats, heads removed
rocket, to serve
lemon wedges, to garnish

For the devilled sauce

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tsp tabasco / hot sauce
pinch smoked paprika, plus extra to taste
1 tbsp honey
1/2 lemon, juice only

Method

1. For the devilled sauce: in a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients, adding a pinch of smoked paprika to begin, then adding more if necessary. Heat gently just to warm through, adjusting any ingredients to your liking. Keep warm until ready to serve.

2. Mix together a small handful of the flour and season with the cayenne and a good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

3. Pre-heat the grill and grease a baking tray with olive oil.

4. Dip the sprats into the seasoned flour, coating them entirely. Shake off any excess from each sprat and set aside on the baking tray whilst you finish the rest.

5. Grill the sprats for 2-3 minutes, shaking the tray half way through to prevent them from sticking.

6. To serve, put a pile of rocket leaves on each plate top with the grilled sprats, drizzle with the devilled sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
