… Mushy Peas and Tartare Sauce
Ever since getting the book this has been one of the meals I’ve been most excited to cook. I’ve been sort of saving it, I’m not really sure why. But tonight’s the night I cook it.
I have my friend Pieter staying over tonight so it’s another excuse to cook a 15 minute meal.
You put a potato in with the peas (or rather you start to cook the potato first and then add the peas). It seems a bit odd, but oh well.
There weren’t a lot of issues cooking this. It was all quite easy and I was relatively tidy while cooking it.
The meal taste lovely. There is something quite comforting about eating a piece of fried breaded fish in a roll. I guess it’s the whole fish finger sandwich thing. The fish baps were great. The fish has a bit of cayenne pepper sprinkled on it, before it’s covered in the flour, which adds a nice little kick to the meal. The peas were really lovely (defiantly a recipe to remember) and the tartare sauce was great too. There did seem to be a bit more tartare sauce than necessary.
The one thing I would say is that this is a bit of a lunch or light meal. Even with only three of us eating it we easily finished it all and could have eaten more. I think that it is good that the book has a few dishes that are more a lunch or light meal in their portion size, but the book doesn’t point to this. So you’re not really sure until you’ve cooked it. (I have to admit that after we went out for a few beers, we did have a naughty kebab).
