  1. FONDANT POTATOES

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Place an ovenproof pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the potato pieces, cut side down, until the base is golden, 5 minutes. Flip and pour in the diluted stock. Pop in the hot oven and bake until the potatoes are tender, 25-30 minutes (adding more water if necessary).

  2. BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

    Roughly chop the mixed nuts. Place the pan over medium heat with 20g of butter. Once melted, fry until brown, 30-60 seconds (shifting constantly). Add the chopped nuts and toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove the pan from the heat and quickly mix in the juice from 2 lemon wedges (to taste), the lemon zest (to taste), ½ the chopped parsley, and seasoning. Cover and set aside.

  3. SUN-DRIED TOMATO SALAD

    To a salad bowl, toss together the shredded salad leaves, the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, the cucumber half-moons, a squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  4. CRISPY FRIED FISH

    Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the trout dry with paper towel. Coat the trout in the flour, gently pressing to ensure it sticks. When hot, fry the fish, skin-side down, until crispy, 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 30-60 seconds. Remove from the pan and season.
