  2. WHIP UP THE TARTAR SAUCE & WARM THE Peas

    Boil a full kettle. In a bowl, combine the Creamy Mayo, the chopped dill, and the diced Gherkins. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Submerge the Peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until plump. Drain on completion and set aside.

    When the potatoes have 10 minutes remaining, fill a pot with boiling water. Add a pinch of salt and place over a high heat. Once boiling, blanch the sliced Green Beans for 2-3 minutes until cooked al dente. Drain on completion, run under cold water to stop the cooking process, and set aside.

  4. LEMONY CAJUN HAKE

    Pat the hake dry with some paper towel. Coat in the rub and some seasoning (both to taste). Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the hake skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and fry for a further 2-3 minutes until the flesh is sealed. Add the grated garlic, a generous squeeze of Lemon juice, and a knob of butter (optional).
