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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
