  1. PARBOILED POTATOES & PAPRIKA OIL

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the rinsed baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, season, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika with 30ml of oil. Set aside for serving.

  2. TOASTY & NUTTY

    Place a pan over medium heat with the almonds. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. CARAMEL HEAVEN

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 10-15 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener and the wine. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  4. SMASHED POTATOES & CAULI

    Place the parboiled potatoes on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and spread out in a single layer. Using a fork, gently press down on them, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Place the cauliflower pieces on a second roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast both trays in the hot oven until crispy and golden, 20-25 minutes.

  5. FLAKY FISH

    When the roast has 10 minutes remaining, return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down until crispy and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with the NOMU rub.

  6. LEMONY CAULI

    In a bowl, combine the roasted cauliflower, the lemon zest (to taste), the toasted almonds, seasoning, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside. To the tray with the smashed potatoes, add the caramelised onion and toss until combined.

  7. TIME TO FEAST

    Plate up the smashed potatoes & onion and the lemony cauliflower. Side with the flaky hake. Drizzle over the paprika oil (to taste). Garnish with the chopped parsley and a lemon wedge. Great stuff, Chef!
