½ red chilli, seeds removed and thinly sliced
2 tsp mild curry powder2 tsp ground turmeric
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
1 x 400g tin coconut milk (Thai Gold brand, if possible)
100ml vegetable or fish stock
2 tbsp mango chutney
1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsedJuice of
1 limeHandful of baby spinach leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steamed basmati I rice, to serve
1 tbsp basil, chopped
1 tbsp coriander, chopped
Method
Preheat a large heavy based saucepan with the rapeseed oil over a medium heat
Add the butternut squash, onion, garlic, and ginger to the pan and stir to combine. Add in the sliced peppers, sliced chilli followed by the spices. Mix well to coat the vegetables in the spices, scraping the base of the pan.
Add in the chopped tomatoes, coconut milk, stock, mango chutney, chickpeas and lime juice. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and bring to the boil.
Once the curry has come to the boil, carefully place the hake portions on top and cover with the lid. Reduce the head to a low to medium and slowly poach the hake for 15 minutes, until cooked through.
Add in the spinach and nestle between the fish to wilt.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and finish with chopped basil and coriander.
First season the haddock pieces with the salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange the fillets in a single layer in the ovenproof dish (it should be a dish that is posh enough to bring to the table). Mix the grated Cheddar cheese together with the Dijon mustard and the cream and spread carefully over the fish.
The fish can be prepared ahead and refrigerated at this point. It will keep in the fridge for a day.
To cook, place in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes or until the fish is cooked and the top is golden and bubbly. If the fish is cooked but the top is not yet golden, place under a hot grill for just a few moments to colour the cheese.
