BEGIN WITH BUTTERNUT
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the butternut half-moons on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
PREP STEP
Rinse the green leaves. Cut the lime into wedges. Cut the cucumber into half-moons. Peel and grate the ginger. Roughly chop the almonds. Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
HURRY WITH THE CURRY
Place a saucepan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the curry paste (to taste) and the grated ginger until fragrant, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the coconut milk and simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes (stirring occasionally). Add a squeeze of lime juice (to taste) and a sweetener. Cover and set aside. Reheat just before serving.
HERE’S TO HAKE
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the hake dry with paper towel. 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.
SIMPLE SALAD
In a salad bowl, combine a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, a sweetener, and seasoning. Toss through the green leaves, the cucumber half-moons, and the toasted almonds.
