BEGIN WITH THE Butternut
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway).
GOLDEN Almonds
Place the 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 onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Pour in the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Mix through the 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 garlic and the Peas until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in 2 [4]|#7DA0D7 tbsp of milk and remove from the heat. Place the pea mixture in a blender with ½ the 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 Fish dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish, 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.
