  1. SWEET MASH

    Place the sweet potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

  2. FRY FOR FRAGRANCE

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until soft and browned, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the NOMU rub, the grated garlic, the vinegar, and the chopped capers. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly).

  3. TOMATO SAUCE

    When the garlic is fragrant, add the cooked chopped tomato, the halved olives, 50ml of water, and a sweetener. Simmer until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Add a splash of water if it’s too thick. Remove from the heat and season.

  4. HERE’S TO HAKE!

    Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the hake dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. DRESSED LEAVES

    In a salad bowl, dress the rinsed salad leaves with olive oil and seasoning.
