Steamed Hake with Chorizo & Olives

Steamed Hake with Chorizo & Olives recipe, eat well on universal credit

This whole Hake should have been £17.01 which we simply could not justify. But at £6.81 with a yellow sticker - When we got 4 servings out of it, it was a reasonably priced treat. But not the easiest or prettiest Fish the fillet…..

Ingredients:-

2 Hake fillets, pin boned. Skin on or off as you choose
2 Red Onions, sliced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tsp of Paprika
100g of Chorizo, cubed
6 Green Olives, halved
150ml of White Wine
400Ml of Fish Stock
10 Cherry Tomatoes
300g of New Potatoes, halved
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Heat Oil in a Dutch Oven / Flame proof dish and add the Onions.
(2) Fry over a medium heat until softened.
(3) Add the Garlic and fry for a further minute.
(4) Add the Paprika and Chorizo and fry for a few more minutes.
(5) Add the Potatoes and stir until coated.
(6) Add the Wine, Stock and Salt & Pepper it season.
(7) Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the Potatoes are tender.
(8) Add the Olives and Tomatoes.
(9) Season the Hake with Salt & Pepper and lay over the vegetables.
(10) Cover and steam for 10 minutes, until the Fish is cooked through.

To be honest all you need is a sprinkle of Parsley for colour and this is good to go.

Little people don’t need takeaway food to keep them happy. Sometimes if you get them involved in making their favourites it’s not only cost effective, but also instills a few basic cooking skills and hopefully an interest in food. Dean our grandson has been staying with us for a few days. 7 years old is not too young to be cooking under supervision. Well we don’t think so any way!….

Dean likes Pasta Bolognese – So here’s him helping to make it!



The finished results!

 



He’s also rather keen on Chicken Nuggets. But our home made version is considerably healthier….

 



We also had to do the obligatory Pumpkin….

We did give him breakfast and lunch so he didn’t need to stick to our “One hearty meal a day” gig, but even so we didn’t break our £4 a budget too dramatically…...
