Cooking Steps

Get Prepped

1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a large pot of water.
Strip the leafy part of the kale from the stem and chop into bite-sized pieces. Discard the stems.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the green beans.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
In a small bowl, toss the kale and garlic with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.

Make the Mash

2

Add the stock and potatoes to the water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover to keep warm.

Bake the Basa

3

Lay the basa and green beans on a lined baking tray.
Spread the pesto on the basa and sprinkle the cheese on top.
Bake until golden and cooked through, 12-16 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
When the basa has cooked for 6-8 mins, remove the tray from the oven.
Spread the kale out on the tray and return to the oven for the remaining 6-8 mins.

Divide and Serve

4

Divide the basa, green beans and crispy kale between plates.
Serve with creamy mash alongside.
