  1. MASH UP

    Place the butternut chunks in a pot of salted water over a medium-high heat. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

  2. CARAMELISED ONIONS

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add in a sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  3. COLESLAW

    Boil the kettle. Rinse, pick and roughly chop the parsley. Finely slice the cabbage. Place the vinegar in a salad bowl with 2 tbsp of boiling water. Toss through the sliced cabbage, season, and set aside. Loosen the coleslaw sauce with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Mix in ¼ the curry spice (to taste), season and set aside.

  4. CHARRED CORN

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  5. FRY YOUR FISH

    Place the remaining curry spice in a small bowl, and mix in a drizzle of oil and seasoning. Pat the hake dry with paper towel. Coat in the curried oil. Return the pan to medium heat with a knob of butter or small drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the fish skin-side down until crispy, 3-4 minutes. Flip and fry until cooked through and golden all over, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

  6. FINISH UP

    Drain the pickling liquid from the slaw. Mix in the charred corn, ¾ the coleslaw sauce, and seasoning. Set aside.

  7. GRUB’S UP

    Plate up the butternut mash, top with the golden hake and the caramelised onion. Drizzle with the remaining coleslaw sauce. Serve the cabbage slaw on the side. Garnish with the chopped parsley and drizzle over the lemon juice. Dive in, Chef!
