Hake, beans & greens

05 Aug 2020 by Wright Brothers Team

Our Hake, Beans and Greens is a recipe made for all cooking abilities - simple, but packs a punch with bold flavours and gentle spices.
  • Time 25minutes
  • Serves 2
  • Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

  • Mild olive oil
  • ½ x 200g pack raw cooking chorizo 
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 260g bag spinach
  • 2 x 140g skinless hake fillets
  • ½ tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and shredded
  • 400g can cannellini beans, drained
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil


Instructions

  1. Boil a full kettle of water and heat the grill to high.
  2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a large frying pan. Squeeze the meat from the chorizo directly into the pan. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins, crushing the meat with a spatula until broken up, golden and surrounded by its juices. The onion will also be soft and golden.
  3. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander, slowly pour over the boiled water to wilt it, then run under the cold tap. Squeeze out the excess water using your hands, then set aside.
  4. Line a baking tray with foil, rub with a little oil and place the fish on top. Season, sprinkle over the smoked paprika and drizzle with a little more oil.
  5. Tip the chilli into the pan with the sausages, fry for 1 min more, then add the beans, spinach, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Let it warm through gently, then season to taste.
  6. Grill the fish for 5 mins or until flaky but not dry – you won’t need to turn it. Spoon the bean mixture onto plates, then carefully top with the fish and any juices from the tray.
  7. Serve with a dollop of Quick garlic mayonnaise (see recipe, right), if you like.
