Hake and Golden Rice

Hake and Golden Rice

with carrot and bell pepper

The tartness of lemon is a classic flavour profile to pair with fish. In this recipe, lemon zest is mixed with the butter that bastes the hake for a rich and zesty finish.

Utensils

•Zester
•Pot with Lid

Instructions

Make the Rice
1
  • Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Stir in the rice and curry powder and bring to the boil.
  • Once boiling, lower heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 mins.
  • Remove from the heat and keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
Get Prepped
2
  • Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips, then chop into roughly 1cm pieces. 
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Trim the carrot and quarter lengthways. Chop into small pieces. (no need to peel).
  • Zest and halve the lemon.
  • Pat the hake dry with kitchen paper. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw fish.
Soften the Veg
3
  • Place a pan over high heat (without oil).
  • When hot, fry the carrot, onion and pepper until softened, 6-8 mins. Add the korma paste and fry until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
  • Once cooked, season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Add the veg to the pot of rice.
  • Use a fork to mix it all together, fluffing up the rice as you go. Stir through the honey. Cover to keep warm.
Fry the Hake
4
  • Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and 1 tsp (double for 4p) of butter.
  • Once hot, lay the fish into the pan and cook on one side for 4-5 mins. Turn over and cook on the other side for a further 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.
Make the Drizzle
5
  • While the hake cooks, loosen the yoghurt with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Taste and add more lemon juice and zest if desired—you want the yoghurt to be drizzling consistency.
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide the savoury golden rice between plates or bowls.
  • Top with the pan-fried hake, pouring over any butter remaining in the pan. 
  • Finish with a drizzle of the lemony yoghurt.
