PARBOILED POTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain.
SMASHED POTATOES
Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, gently press down, splitting the skin but keeping them in one piece. Coat in oil, ½ the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes.
GREEN BEANS
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the trimmed green beans until starting to char, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
PEA PUREÉ
Return the pan to medium heat with a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the peas and the grated garlic until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the cream and simmer until heated through, 1-2 minutes. Place the pea & cream mix in a blender, season, and pulse until a smooth purée. Add water in 10ml increments if it’s too thick for your liking. Cover and set aside.
NUTTY SALSA
Place the chopped hazelnuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, the toasted nuts, and ½ the lemon juice.
FRY THE FISH
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the hake dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the fish until golden, 3-4 minutes per side. In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter and the remaining rub. Remove from the pan and season.
DINNER FOR ROYALTY
Smear the pea puree on a plate. Top with the hake and the nut salsa. Serve alongside the smashed potatoes and the charred green beans. Drizzle over the remaining lemon juice. Dive in, Chef!
