1
  • Trim the carrot then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Slice widthways into pieces about 1cm thick.
  • Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Cut the tomato into 2cm chunks.
  • Roughly chop the dill (discard the stalks).
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the onion and carrot, season with salt and pepper and fry until soft and sweet, 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally.
3
  • Meanwhile, drain the lentils in a sieve and rinse until water runs clear.
  • Add the lentils, tomato, vegetable stock, 50ml water (double for 4p), Worcester sauce and balsamic cream to the carrots.
  • Simmer until the carrots are tender, 4-5 mins.
4
  • Add the spinach to the lentils, stirring until it's wilted.
  • Stir though 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p) and dill.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in another pan on high heat.
  • Pat the hake dry with kitchen paper, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the oil is hot, lay the fish into the pan and fry until golden, 2-3 mins. Turn and cook for 2-3 mins on the other side.
  • Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. The fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
6
  • Place the lentils on plates and arrange the hake on top.
