  1. IT ALL STARTS WITH ALMONDS

    Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. HERE’S TO HAKE!

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. When the pan is hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden. Flip, and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan.

  3. HURRY WITH THE CURRY

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, add the sliced onion and fry for 5-6 minutes until soft and starting to caramelise, shifting occasionally. Add the Cape Malay curry paste and the coriander seeds. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly.

  4. YAY, IT’S CAPE MALAY!

    When the curry paste is fragrant, add the vinegar, 7.5ml of a sweetener of choice, and 100ml of water. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened and the curry paste has cooked out. In the final 1-2 minutes, add the cooked hake and toss until coated. Season and remove from the heat.

  5. FOR SOME FRESHNESS

    In a bowl, add the tomato & cucumber chunks, the shredded leaves, the pepper strips, the toasted almonds, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Crumble in the drained feta and toss until combined.

  6. DELISH FISH DINNER

    Plate up the Cape Malay hake and sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and side with the fresh salad. Time to dine, Chef!
