READY THE RICE
Place the rinsed rice in a pot. Submerge in 150ml of salted water, pop on a lid, and place over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and steam, with the lid on, for 10 minutes until cooked. Drain if necessary, fluff up with a fork, and cover to keep warm.
HURRY WITH THE CURRY
Place a deep pan or saucepan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion for 5-6 minutes until soft and browned, shifting occasionally. Add the grated Ginger and the curry paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the red pepper slices, the drained butter beans, and the coconut milk. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
IT’S A GO FOR THE GREENS
When the sauce has slightly thickened, remove the pan from the heat and stir through the rinsed Spinach, ½ the picked coriander, ⅔ of the lemon juice (to taste), a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Cover to keep warm.
FRY THE Fish
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). 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 a further 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
