Grown up fish fingers with easy tartar sauce – these delicious fish fingers are made in the DeLonghi Multifry.

As part of the recent launch of the Multifry multicooker, DeLonghi have asked a number of food bloggers to take part in the #MultifryChallenge. The aim is to use this new super-appliance to cook all meals for a week.

The Multifry may boast about it’s patent-pending Surround Heat System, but luckily for me it is very easy to set up and even easier to use which is just as well – I think I am allergic to lengthy instruction manuals). The appliance doesn’t come with a cookbook but DeLonghi have gone one better by launching a recipe app instead.

The app is a really smart move as you have to get used to slightly different methods of cooking – which you can quickly apply to your own recipes. So lets get down to business. How does the Multifry work? Well, there’s a thermostat with 4 settings, two heat options (dual heat or top only heat), a dinky timer which you can pop out and carry in your pocket and a small measure for adding oil.

The large bowl allows you to cook family-sized meals with ease and there’s a (removable) paddle for recipes which require stirring. To use, you have to set your thermostat, select your heat option, place food in the bowl and then turn on. Easy peasy.

I have used the Multifry a number of times already and have found that it cooks fast, requires very little oil (even less than some app recipes suggest) and can indeed make very good fries and even better roast potatoes. It’s also very easy to clean – a huge plus. The only downsides are that the fan, which provides the surround heat, is a little noisy and that it takes up quite a bit of counter space.

To start off the #MultifryChallenge I tried making the perennial family favourite – fish fingers – from scratch. Normally I would buy ready-made but I have to tell you making your own could not be simpler and they are far healthier and incredibly tasty to boot. My son, a picky, fussy, so-and-so, ate his entire plate and refused to share which is a first.

Course: Fish fingers
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 16 minutes
Total Time: 26 minutes

Ingredients

  • <b>For the tartar sauce</b>
  • 4 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp dill pickles
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fresh dill finely chopped (optional)
  • <br>
  • <b>For the fish fingers</b>
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 100 g | 3.5oz plain flour
  • 100 g | 3.5oz Panko breadcrumbs
  • 400 g | 14oz skinless firm white fish sliced into strips
  • Salt and pepper
  • pinch chilli powder or seasoning of your choice
  • rapeseed oil

Instructions

  • Make the tartar sauce. Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz for a few seconds until combined. Alternatively finely chop the pickles, capers and dill and mix with the mayonnaise and lemon juice.
  • Put the egg, flour and Panko on three separate plates.
  • Add salt, pepper and seasoning of your choice to the breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each fish strip with the flour, then dip into the egg and finally thoroughly coat with the Panko.
  • Fill the measuring cup to level 4 with rapeseed oil and add to the Multifry bowl (first remove the paddle which is not needed in this recipe).
  • Arrange the fish on the bowl making sure they are not overlapping.
  • Set the timer to 8 minutes. Set the thermostat to position 4, press the bottom heating element button and turn the Multifry on.
  • When the timer beeps, open the cover and carefully flip each strip over using tongs. Start the timer again and cook for a further 8 minutes or until the fish fingers are golden.
  • Serve with the tartar sauce and quartered lemons on the side.

Notes

Frying method
In the absence of a Multifry you can fry these – you will need enough rapeseed oil to fill a deep-fat fryer or a deep-sided frying pan.
Fill large frying pan (or deep fat fryer) 3/4 of the way with canola oil and heat to 190C (375F). Fry the fish fingers for a couple of minutes until golden. You will need to do this in batches so that the oil temperature doesn't drop too rapidly. Drain on kitchen towels before serving.

    These look amazing! We were having a discussion over supper last night about one of these. I love the way it does so much more than healthy frying. Look forward to seeing your other idea's – Ali
