  1. FIRST STEP TO Fish & CHIPS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and golden, 30-35 minutes (flipping halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. COAT & CRUMB

    Boil the kettle. Whisk 1 egg in a bowl. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the Cornflour (seasoned lightly), and one containing the crumb. Coat the fish in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess flour. Coat in the whisked egg, and lastly the crumb. Set aside.

  3. PESTO Peas & DILL YOGHURT

    In a bowl, loosen the pesto with olive oil until a drizzling consistency. Submerge the Peas in boiling water until plump and heated through, 2-3 minutes. Drain and add to the bowl with the loosened pesto. Mix in ½ the lemon juice (to taste) and season. Mash the pesto peas with a potato masher or fork and set aside. In a small bowl, combine ½ the dill, the yoghurt, the remaining lemon juice (to taste) and seasoning.

  4. FAB Fish

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. Fry the crumbed Fish until golden and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  5. DILL-ICIOUS!

    Plate the crispy Fish. Side with the roasted butternut chips and the pesto peas. Serve with the creamy tangy dill sauce for dipping. Garnish with the remaining dill and enjoy, Chef!
