  1. UN-BEET-ABLE ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Beetroot on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 15-20 minutes (shifting halfway). Place the kale in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated.

  2. CAPER-GARLIC SAUCE

    Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium-high heat with knob of butter. When melted, add the garlic, and the Capers. Fry until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Remove from the heat and stir through the crème fraîche. Season, add a sweetener (optional & to taste), loosen with a splash of water if too thick, and cover.

  3. FETA SALAD

    In a bowl, combine the salad leaves, the Cucumber half-moons, the feta, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.

  4. HAIL TO THE Kale

    When the beets have 10 minutes remaining, give the tray a shift and scatter over the dressed Kale. Roast for the remaining time.

  5. HOOKED ON HAKE

    Place a 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.

  6. WHAT A PLATE

    Plate up the hake and drizzle over the garlic & caper sauce. Side with the fresh salad, the crispy Kale and the Beetroot. Perfection, Chef!
