  1. LET’S GET PREPPING!

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Boil the kettle. Place the seasoned flour in a shallow dish with some seasoning to taste and mix to combine. Pat the hake fillet dry with a paper towel and gently press the fillet into the flour. Turn over to coat both sides and dust off any excess flour. Rinse the halved leeks and finely slice into half moons. Dilute the veg stock with 250ml of water.

  2. START THE CHOWDER

    Place a pot with a lid over a medium heat with some oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the floured hake skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and fry the other side for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pot on completion and chop into 4 pieces. Return the pot to a medium heat with another knob of butter. Once foaming, add the grated garlic and sliced leeks. Fry until the garlic is fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, shifting constantly. Add in the halved baby potatoes, carrot chunks and the diluted veg stock. Mix until fully combined, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid and leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the stock has slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.

  3. FINISH THE CHOWDER

    Once the vegetables are soft, add in the milk, the corn and the coated hake pieces. Mix until fully combined without the lid and leave to gently simmer for a further 5-7 minutes, or until all the flavours have combined and it has reduced slightly. Season to taste.

  4. TOASTY BAGUETTE

    Place the baguette slices on a roasting tray and butter the exposed side. Place in the hot oven and bake for 3-4 minutes until starting to brown and warmed through.

  5. HEARTY & WARMING

    Bowl up the hearty hake chowder. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and serve with warm, toasted baguette slices. Dig in, chef!
