Fish Chips and Minted Mushy Peas

Ingredients

Potatoes 2, scrubbed and cut into chunky chips

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Olive oil spray

Egg 1

Panko breadcrumbs 35g (1¼ oz)

Lemon 1, finely grated zest and juice of ½, the remainder cut into wedges

White fish fillets 2 (110–125g/4–4½oz each)

Frozen peas or petits pois 150g (5oz)

Chopped fresh mint 2 tbsp

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°fan/Gas 6. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.

2

Put the potato chips into a saucepan and just cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 4 minutes. Drain well, return to the pan to dry off over a low heat for a few seconds, then shake to rough up the edges.

3

Place the potato chips in a single layer on one half of the baking tray, season and spray with olive oil. Bake for 10 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, whisk the egg in a shallow bowl. Put the breadcrumbs and lemon zest on a plate and mix in some salt and pepper. Dip each fish fillet in the egg then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the baking tray next to the chips and spray with oil. Bake for about 20 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the chips have browned.

5

While the fish is cooking, put the peas in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Simmer for 4–5 minutes until very tender. Drain well and mash with the lemon juice, mint and a little salt.

6

Serve the fish and chips with the minted peas and lemon wedges.


Cook’s Tips

Any white fish works in this recipe. Panko breadcrumbs give a crisp texture, but if you prefer, whizz stale bread in the food processor and use the crumbs instead.
