Ingredients
- 800g Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes, scrubbed
- 4 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 125g gluten free flour*, plus extra for coating the fish
- 150ml chilled gluten free beer* (or chilled sparkling water)
- 4 x 150g boneless skinless white fish such as cod, hake, or haddock
- 300g mushy or frozen peas
- 200g light mayonnaise
- 25g small gherkins
- 25g capers
- 1 small shallot, peeled and quartered
- 10g fresh parsley
- ½ lemon, juiced
- sea salt and freshly
- ground black pepper
Method
2. Cut the potatoes into thick chips, leaving the skin on. Then place them in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
3. Bring the pan to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes until the potatoes are just tender but still firm. Drain and leave to dry for a few minutes in the colander.
4. Place the chips onto a large ovenproof tray, drizzle with a little oil, season, and then toss until they are fully coated. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
5. For the tartare sauce, place all the ingredients in a small blender for 30-45 seconds until combined. If you don’t have a blender, chop the gherkins, capers, shallots and parsley, then combine with the mayonnaise and lemon juice.
6. For the batter, tip the gluten free flour into a bowl and season. Add the gluten free beer gradually, stirring to get a smooth batter. Once it comes together, stop mixing so you keep the bubbles in it.
9. Drain the chips and fish to remove excess oil, then serve with the peas and tartare sauce.
