Hake goujons with a minty dipper
Ingredients
- 500g fresh hake, cut into chunks
Batter
- 120g (1 cup) cake flour
- 250ml (1 cup) beer
- sea salt and freshly ground black
- pepper, to taste
- vegetable oil, for frying
Minty dipper
- 250ml (1 cup) low-fat Bulgarian yoghurt
- 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh coriander, chopped
- 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh mint, chopped
- sea salt and freshly ground black
- pepper, to taste
- a squeeze of lime juice
Instructions
Combine the flour and beer in a large bowl and season well. Mix to form a batter and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Coat the fish in the batter and fry in batches until golden and crisp, about 2 – 3 minutes on each side.
Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Season well.
For the minty dipper, combine all of the ingredients and season well.
Serve the fish warm with the yoghurt dipper.
Notes
Cook's tip: Hake is great as it is on the SASSI green list. Always remember to use a sustainable fish variety.
