Fish and Chips

It is a lot easier and cheaper to buy them, but far more healthy and satisfying to make them yourself.

Serves 2

Chips:

500g Potatoes, peeled

4 cloves Garlic, unpeeled

4 sprigs Thyme

Olive Oil to drizzle

Slice potatoes into 1cm chips and parboil for 5 min or until just tender. Drain and pat dry with a tea towel. Place on a preheated oven tray, drizzle with olive oil, season and scatter over garlic and thyme. Bake at 200C for 15-20 min or until crisp and golden. 

Fish:

2 Cod Fillets (or other white fish)

75g Flour

1 Egg, beaten

75g Breadcrumbs 

4 tbsp Olive Oil

Put flour on one plate and season. Put egg on a second plate and bread crumbs on a third. Heat oil. Dip fillets into the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring n even coating of each and fry for 5 min until golden brown and crisp all over, turning once. Drain on paper towels and serve with the chips and salad.
