Hake with Romesco Crust

Serves 4

Preparation Time 20 Minutes

Cooking Time 2 Hours

Ingredients For the Dish

  • 1 x 290g jar roasted red peppers, drained and quartered
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g skinned, salted almonds
  • 50g dry white breadcrumbs
  • 2 medium courgettes
  • 4 x 150g hake portions, skin on
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 100°C, lay the peppers on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the rosemary, garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and some seasoning. Place in the oven and bake for 2 hours to dry out the peppers. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cool, place the peppers in a food processor with the almonds and breadcrumbs and blend until they have a sandy texture.

Increase the oven temperature to 180°C.

Slice the courgettes into discs 5mm thick. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the courgettes and season. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the frying pan over a high heat. Add the hake portions, skin-side down, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown.

Transfer to a baking sheet, skin-side up, and sprinkle the prepared topping over the fish. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the flesh offers no resistance when you pierce it with the tip of a knife.
