ROASTED Butternut
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, 25-30 minutes (flipping halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
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.
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.
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.
Dill-ICIOUS!
