BEGIN WITH BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Generously cover the base of a roasting tray in oil. Add the butternut chips, season, and toss until coated. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crispy, 30-35 minutes. At the halfway mark, gently shift the chips and drain any excess oil. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time.
PARSLEY PEAS
Boil the kettle. Submerge the peas in boiling water until plump and heated through, 2-3 minutes. Drain and toss with a squeeze of lemon juice, 1⁄2 the chopped parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning.
CRISP IT UP
Place a pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the crumbed fishcakes until golden and crisp, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and drain on paper towel.
CHEESY SAUCE
Place a small pot over medium heat with 10g of butter. Once melted, vigorously mix in the flour to form a roux. Cook out, 1-2 minutes (stirring constantly). Slowly whisk in the milk. Once the milk is incorporated, add the grated cheese and stir until melted. Season and remove from the heat. Add a splash of warm water or milk (optional) if the sauce is too thick.
LET’S DIG IN!
Plate the butternut chips alongside the crispy fishcakes. Drizzle over the creamy cheese sauce and serve the parsley peas on the side. Garnish with the remaining parsley and a lemon wedge. Delicious!
