Make the Mash

  • Boil a large pot of salted water.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
  • Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes 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 some milk or water. Mash until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Zest then juice the lemon.
  • Trim the green beans.
Cook the Green Beans
3
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the green beans until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
  • Stir in the garlic, lower the heat to medium and cook for 1 min.
  • Add a splash of water and cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until tender, 4-5 mins.
  • Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
Fry the Fish
