Classic Fish and Chips
A traditional British dish for over 150 years, these days fish and chips are eaten as a take away in the UK for lunch or dinner, often served with mushy peas (or gravy if you’re a northerner!). I personally love fish and chips as a treat, and it has to be with mushy peas.
Ingredients
Fish Ingredients
- 2 large cod or haddock fillets
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup gluten-free flour
- ⅓ cup ground almonds
- ½ teaspoon mixed herbs
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for frying the fish)
Chips Ingredients
- 2 large potato or sweet potatoes (approximately 500g / 1.1lb total), peeled and cut into chips
- ½ teaspoon mixed herbs
- 1 tablespoon ground almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Mushy Peas Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Peel the root vegetable and cut into chip shapes, put into a bowl with mixed herbs, ground almonds, black pepper and olive oil, toss them around. Then, spread on a baking tray, bake in a preheated oven at 180°C / 350°F (160°C fan-forced) for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the gluten-free flour, ground almonds, mixed herbs, and black pepper until well combined. In a second shallow dish, crack the egg and whisk until smooth. Dip each fish fillet first in the egg, then in the flour mixture, then back in the egg, and into the flour mixture again for a second coating. Rest the coated fillets on a plate while you wait for the chips.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over low-medium heat. Fry the fish for 4 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Boil the peas for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer to a small blender or use a potato masher. Add the teaspoon of coconut oil and black pepper, then pulse 2-3 times or mash roughly — you want a chunky texture, not a smooth purée, so it is still a bit lumpy.
- Serve the peas with the fish and chips.
