Ingredients
Method
Roasted hake, wilted sea beet, cockles and crispy lettuce weed:
Season hake and fry in oil until skin is golden brown, then cook for 6 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 186°c. Open your cockles in a frying pan with a lid and add the white wine. Take the cockles out and add the cream, slowly add in the butter until the sauce has thickened and add the par-cel, lemon and season. Wilt the sea beet in a small amount of butter and serve. Garnish with the crispy sea weed.
Kaletts with stinging nettle salsa & hazelnuts side dish:
Blanch the kalettes and nettles in hot water and refresh. Chop the nettles and add the confit shallots and par-cel to make a salsa. Plate the dish and garnish with the old Winchester cheese, hazelnuts and pickled rock samphire.
