Fish and Chips with Mushy Peas

from Cook Yourself Thin

Ingredients:

For the Fish:

75 g slightly stale white bread

15 g Flat-leaf parsley

15 g fresh chives

1 tablespoon Caper rinsed and drained

Zest of one Lemon

20 g Butter melted

1 tablespoon Plain Flour

1 large Egg beaten

4 175g plaice Fish Fillets trimmed

Lemon Wedges, to serve

For the Mushy Peas:

250 g frozen Peas

2 tablespoons 0% Greek Style Yoghurt

5 g fresh Mint leaves chopped

0.5 Lemon zest only

0.5 tablespoon Lemon Juice

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method:

For the Chips:

1. Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas 6.

2. For the chips, rub the oil over a non stick baking sheet. Whisk the egg white with the Cajun spice or paprika until frothy.

3. Toss the potatoes in the egg white and pour onto the baking sheet. Separate the chips out and cook in the oven for 45 minutes, turning every 10 minutes. Don’t be alarmed about how they look in the early stages of cooking; the chips will crisp up, so persevere.

For the Fish:

1. Meanwhile to make the topping for the fish, whiz together the bread, herbs, capers and lemon zest in a food processor until rough breadcrumb stage and stir through the melted butter.

2. Place the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumb mixture on separate plates. Season the flour well and then dunk each plaice fillet, flesh side only, in the flour followed by the egg and then the breadcrumbs.

3. Place onto a large non stick baking sheet and bake on the top shelf of the oven 12 minutes before the chips are down.

For the Mushy Peas:

1. While the fish and chips are cooking, cover the peas with water, bring to the boil and boil for 4 minutes.

2. Drain and mash the peas with the yoghurt, mint, lemon zest and juice and season well.

3. Sprinkle the chips with a little salt, and serve the fish and chips together with the mushy peas and a wedge of lemon.
