NOODLE SALAD
A family
favourite
COCONUT-CRUSTED
HADDOCK FINGERS
& MUSHY PEAS
'I love making these, as everyone in the
family eats them with little complaint.
The coconut gives them a whole new
crunchy twist. Mushy peas are one
of my all-time favourite foods, so I'm
happy to dollop a large portion of
them next to this sublime dish. This
whole meal takes no time at all to make.
Whip it up and enjoy every bite!'

'I find it
annoying
that there
are all
these
rules you
should
and
shouldn't
do. The
only rule
I apply is
not eating
refined
sugar. I'm
relatively
strict on
that one
because
it makes
me feel
terrible.'
1. Add the peas to a pan of boiling
water and cook for 4 minutes until
completely tender. Drain the peas,
then add them to a bowl together
with the parsley, lemon zest and
olive oil. Combine and roughly mash
the peas with a fork (or use a food
processor). Season to taste with salt
and pepper. Keep warm.
2. Combine the breadcrumbs with the
desiccated coconut and 1tsp each of
salt and pepper.
3. Cut the haddock into 16 2 x 7cm
fingers. Coat each finger in the flour,
then dip into the beaten egg and roll
in the breadcrumb mixture until
evenly covered on all sides. Set aside
on a plate while you finish the rest.
4. Add the coconut oil or sunflower
oil to a pan and place over a medium
heat. Add the haddock fingers and fry
for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until
crisp, golden and cooked through.
5. Divide the mushy peas between
the plates, top with the fish fingers,
scatter over some parsley and drizzle
over a little extra virgin olive oil, if
you wish. Serve immediately with
the lemon wedges and some
mayonnaise to dunk into.

'This zingy salad always gives me a huge
sensory wake-up - its flavours are so
fresh and punchy. Prep all the veg before
you start cooking the tofu, as you want to
chuck it all in at the same time towards
the end of cooking. Note: You will need to
make the dressing in batches.'
Serves 4
* 400g firm tofu
* 2tbsp vegetable oil
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 stick of lemongrass, outer layers
removed; tender core very finely chopped
* 3 shallots or 1 small red onion, finely
sliced
* 2cm piece of root ginger, peeled and
finely grated
* 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
* 4 lime leaves, very finely sliced (optional)
* 180g rice vermicelli noodles
* 60g rocket
* 150g firm mango, diced
* 80g roasted cashews or peanuts
* 15g fresh mint leaves
For the dressing:
* 1½tbsp coconut palm sugar, maple
syrup or honey
* 2tbsp fish sauce
* Grated zest of 1 lime
* 3tbsp lime juice
* 1tsp toasted sesame oil
1. Tightly wrap a clean tea towel around
the tofu. Over a sink, squeeze the tofu
very firmly, tightening the tea towel
as you go, to extract as much water as
possible, almost wringing out the tofu.
Unwrap and crumble tofu into a bowl,
breaking up larger pieces with a fork.
2. Heat the oil in a large pan over a high
heat. Add crumbled tofu and stir-fry
for 4 minutes until beginning to crisp
up. Add the garlic, lemongrass, shallots
or onion, grated ginger, most of the
chilli and the lime leaves (if using), and
stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until
fragrant. Keep everything moving the
whole time to avoid burning. Transfer
to a bowl and set aside.
3. Put the noodles in a large bowl and
cover with boiling water. Test after 2-3
minutes to make sure they are cooked
through, then drain well.
4. Add the noodles to the cooked tofu
and toss with the rocket, mango, nuts,
most of the mint and all of the dressing
ingredients. Transfer to a serving dish
and top with remaining mint and chilli.
