ALL HAIL THE KALE
Place the shredded kale in a bowl with some seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened. Set aside.
YES, ALL THE ALMONDS
Place the chopped almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
IT’S DINE O’CLOCK
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion for 4-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Add the tomato paste and the wine, and cook for 1-2 minutes until mostly all evaporated. Add the massaged kale, the drained lentils, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a splash of water. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the kale is wilted.
ADD SOME YUMMY GOODIES
When the kale is wilted, remove the pan from the heat and stir through the crème fraîche, a knob of butter, ½ the chopped oregano, ½ the lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener, and seasoning. Loosen with a splash of warm water, if necessary. Cover to keep warm.
FRY, FLIP, FRY
Place a clean pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
DISH UP DINNER
Dish up the saucy kale & lentils and top with the seared hake. Drizzle over the remaining lemon juice (to taste), and garnish with the remaining oregano. Great work, Chef!
