Pesto Cod and Chips

PRINT RECIPE

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30-35 mins
Serves: 2

 Ingredients

• 2-3 medium potatoes e.g. Maris Piper
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2 x 200g cod steaks or other white fish
• 1½ tbsp pesto sauce
• Homemade mushy peas
• 538g can of marrowfat peas
• 2 tbsp of Greek yogurt 
• 1 tbsp chopped mint

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200oC, Gas mark 6.
2. Cut the peeled potatoes into chips. Place in a medium sandwich bag with the oil and shake well to coat.  Transfer to a non-stick baking tray.  Bake for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, place the cod or other white fish in a small roasting tin and spread over the pesto.
4. Place in the oven with the chips and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until golden, turning once.
5. To make the mushy peas empty a drained can of marrowfat peas into a pan with the yoghurt and the mint. Bring to the boil, then cook for 5 minutes before serving with the fish and chips.

Chip Tips:
• For a quick tip that will save you time, by a can of mushy peas instead of making your own

• For a different take on mushy peas; blend frozen peas with mint
