Preparation
1
Get Prepped

  • Trim the carrot then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Slice widthways into 1cm thick pieces.
  • Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
  • Pat the hake dry with kitchen paper then season with salt and pepper.
  • Roughly chop the parsley (discard the stalks).

2
Cook the Veg

  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, add the onion and carrot. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry until soft and sweet, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.

3
Simmer the Lentils

  • Meanwhile, drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.
  • Once the veg has softened, add the lentils.
  • Stir through the passata and vegetable stock powder along with 50ml water and ½ tsp sugar (double both for 4p).
  • Simmer until the carrots are tender, 8-10 mins.

TIP: Add more water if the lentils become too dry!

4
Wilt the Spinach

  • Add the spinach to the lentils, stirring until it's wilted, 1-2 mins.
  • Mix in 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p) along with the parsley.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.

5
Fry the Fish

  • Place a separate pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, lay the fish into the pan and fry on one side until golden, 3-4 mins.
  • Turn and cook on the other side, a further 3-4 mins.
  • Add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4p) and harissa to the pan.
  • Cook for 1-2 mins, ensuring the fish is cooked through and well coated on both sides with the harissa butter. IMPORTANT: Fish is cooked when opaque in the middle.

6
Finish and Serve

  • Divide the spinach lentils between plates and place the hake on top,
  • Pour over any harissa butter remaining in the pan.
  • Finish with a drizzle of honey.
