Thai Green Hake Fillet

It’s a signature Thai green curry with hake on a bed of fragrant basmati rice. Melt-in-your-mouth hake fillet is fried until crisp, then steeped in a creamy sauce of veggies & spices, and sprinkled with pickled peppers, fresh chilli and bright basil.

  1. GREEN MEANS GO

    Boil the kettle. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over medium-high heat. Submerge in 150ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat, add the peas and steam for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. HOOKED ON HAKE

    Pat the hake dry with paper towel and season. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the hake, skin-side down, and fry for 2 minutes per side until browned but not cooked through. Remove from the pot.

  3. CREAMY DREAMY CURRY

    Dilute the stock with 150ml of boiling water. Peel and grate the ginger. Return the pot to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the grated ginger and the curry paste (to taste). Fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the diluted stock and the coconut cream. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly reduced.

  4. FRAGRANT FRIENDS

    While the curry is simmering, trim and rinse the pak choi. Cut the leaves in half lengthways. Pick and rinse the basil. Drain the pickled peppers and roughly slice. Deseed and roughly slice the chilli.

  5. FINAL FLAIR

    When the curry has 3-4 minutes remaining, add the browned hake and the pak choi leaves. Season to taste.

  6. CURRY UP & EAT!

    Make a bed of the fluffy rice & peas. Top with the hake and the silky green curry. Scatter over the sliced peppers and the sliced chilli (to taste). Garnish with the picked basil leaves. Good job, Chef!
