BEGIN WITH THE Butternut
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut half-moons on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
GOLDEN Almonds
Place the chopped Almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
CAPER & CREAM SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Mix through the chopped Capers and remove from the heat. Pour in the cream and simmer until slightly thickening, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pan and season. Reheat over a low heat before serving.
PEA & MINT PUREE
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat with a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated garlic and the Peas until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in 2 tbsp of milk and remove from the heat. Place the pea mixture in a blender with ½ the chopped mint and seasoning. Pulse into a smooth purée. (Alternatively, If you don't own a blender, make a rustic pea purée. After frying the peas and garlic, simply mash the peas with a potato masher or a fork, pour in the milk and mix until combined.) Add water in 10ml increments if it’s too thick for your liking. Set aside.
CRISPY 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.
SEAFOOD SENSATION
Spread the pea purée out on the plate and top with the golden hake. Drizzle over the white wine sauce and serve the Butternut half-moons alongside. Garnish with the toasted nuts and the remaining mint.
