  1. BOILING AWAY

    Place the halved baby potatoes in a pot (with a lid) of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain, season, and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter, cover with the lid, and shake the pot until the potatoes are fully coated in the butter. Set aside.

  2. PREPPING

    While the potatoes are boiling, rinse the salad leaves, the parsley, the green beans, and the tomato. Roughly shred the salad leaves, finely chop the parsley, and trim the green beans. Cut the tomato into bite-sized chunks. Peel and grate the garlic. In a salad bowl, combine the tomato chunks, the rinsed leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. Set aside.

  3. GORGEOUS GREENS

    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.

  4. HAKE PARTY

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). Pat the hake dry with paper towel. Season and coat in the Cape Bay seasoning. When hot, fry the hake, skin-side down, until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry the other side until cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and season.

  5. HERBY BUTTER

    Return the pan to a medium high heat with 30g of butter. Once melted, remove from the heat and add the chopped parsley, the grated garlic (to taste), and the juice of 1 lemon wedge.

  6. DELISH DINNER!

    Plate up the boiled baby potatoes. Side with the hake drizzled with the parsley butter. Serve with the fresh salad topped with the green beans and the almonds. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Splendid work, Chef!
