Crispy cod fish baps and fresh creamy mushy peas + homemade tartar sauce





Welcome back, it's been a while since I last updated this blog but I'm going to try to start getting back on track with a few recipes I have made over the past few months.

The first one is a small twist on a Jamie Oliver recipe I made for myself and Eva, even though Eva dislikes fish she loved this recipe. The secret ingredient on the mushy peas gives an amazing rich creaminess that tastes like restaurant standards. (You will need a food processor for this recipe)

Ingredients

4 soft wholemeal baps4 large (halved)

  8 small Fresh cod
1 pinch cayenne peppe
r½ a mug plain flour 
olive oi
l25 g Parmesan cheese
1 water cress
1 lemon
1 medium potato (secret ingredient)
500 g frozen peas½ 
bunch fresh mint
6 gherkins
1 tablespoon capers (optional)
1 little gem lettuce
250 g fat-free natural yogurt or mayo 
¼ a bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 lemon
