Dukkah haddock with coarse pea purée


Pre-heat the oven at 160°C

In my larder I still had a jar of dukkah, bought at Ottolenghi's, so for me it was very simple to make this recipe.

Put 300g frozen peas in boiling water for 2 mins, drain and reserve.

Season 2 fillets of haddock (schelvis) with salt, put 4 tbsp dukkah in a soup plate and press the fish in it. Repeat with the other side.

Fry the fish in 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter, 2 mins on each side. Then transfer to a warmed plate, spoon the dukkah that's left in the skillet over the fish and put the plate in the oven.

Wipe the pan clean, then softly fry a finely sliced clove of garlic in 3 tbsp olive oil, with 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1/4 tsp ground cumin. Add the peas, stir well and crush with a fork.

Add 1/2 tbsp tahin and warm through for 2 mins. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.

Put on warmed plates, top with the fish. Finish with some lemon.
