So we are going to do Fish and Chips, sweet potato chips, some amazing whiting and snapper, all caught from South Australian waters, which is really important. Plus some amazing chocolate molten cupcakes, little nests on top, Easter eggs, cute for the kids!

Dinah: It’s easy!
Lucy: You took the words right out of my mouth! Lets go shopping!
FISH & CHIPS WITH TARTARE SAUCE & SALAD
2 fillets snapper – boned
2 fillets king George whiting
1C GF flour
1C quinoa flakes
1kg white potatoes
1kg sweet potatoes
2C GF flour
2T Vegeta powdered stock
Rice bran oil
Lemons
1 bunch thyme
1C whole egg mayonnaise
2T capers
2T cornichons, roughly chopped
½ Spanish onion diced
1 bunch chives, chopped
Rind and juice of a lemon
Sea salt for seasoning
Baby Cos lettuce leaves
1 bunch chives, chopped
Olive oil
Red wine vinegar
Firstly it’s your finger-licking delicious ‘THRICE’ cooked chippies you need to get on to! Ideally start this process in the morning or day before. Using a large saucepan start warming up your rice bran oil.
Peel your potatoes, cut them into chunky chips and put them in separate bowls of water. In a separate bowl combine your flour and Vegeta and a touch of sea salt and mix well. Drain off your chips, towel dry and keeping sweet potato chips separate to your regular chips, lightly flour with your mix.
Fry your chips in batches so you don’t over load your oil. For the first fry, cook them till you get a touch of colour then remove and lay out on a tray lined with paper towel. Second fry – a few mins should do the trick. Again, lay out on your tray lined with paper towel. Don’t over crowd your tray. Best result is if you place your tray of chips into the fridge for as long as possible allowing to set and cool. This will give your chip that fluffy potato centre and that crisp outer we all try to achieve time and time again!
Now for your tangy tartare sauce… this one is easy! Place all of your ingredients in a bowl, give a good mix, season to taste and set aside in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
To prepare your fish – In a bowl combine your quinoa flakes and flour and give it a quick mix. Make a slurry in another bowl by combining 1T flour with 8T water and give a good whisk. This is what you’ll dip your fish into before you place into your flour/quinoa flake mix and thoroughly coat.
OK we are ready to give this a final cook and get it on the table! Starting with your chips, give them their final fry in hot oil. Fry till golden brown. Take out, sprinkle with sea salt and set aside. Add your fish fillets in to your oil 1 by 1. Again fry until golden then take out, drain on absorbent paper.
Place fish & chips on your newspaper or platter to serve along with your chips, fresh lemon wedges, dollops of your tartare sauce, some thyme sprigs over your chips & your Cos/chive salad on the side. This, my friends will have you licking your fingers for more!
