  1. Potato WEDGES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, ¾ of the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).

  2. LEMONY Peas

    Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Peas until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pot, stir through the Lemon Juice (to taste), and season. Cover and set aside. In a bowl, combine the mayo, the diced Gherkins, and seasoning.

  3. GOLDEN HAKE

    Return the pot to medium-high heat. Fill with enough oil to deep-fry the hake. In a bowl, combine the flour, the remaining NOMU rub, and seasoning. Gradually mix in 60ml of the beer until a smooth batter forms. Add an extra splash of beer if the batter looks too thick. When the oil is hot, dip the hake fillet into the batter. Using a pair of tongs, carefully lower the fillet into the hot oil. Deep-fry until the batter is golden and crispy, 4-6 minutes. Remove from the pot, drain on paper towel, and season.

  4. CLASSIC DISH

    Dish up the crispy beer-battered hake and the golden Potato wedges. Side with the lemony Peas. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley. Don’t forget your tartar mayo for dunking. Beautiful work, Chef!
