Method

  1. 1

    Fry the potato matchsticks in 1 tbsp of the oil over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until golden and tender. Drain on paper and set aside.

  2. 2

    Poach or pan-fry the fish for 3–4 minutes until just cooked, then flake into pieces.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and soften the onion and garlic for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the flaked fish and fried potatoes to the pan, then pour in the beaten eggs.

  5. 5

    Stir gently over low heat for 1–2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still creamy, taking care not to scramble too far.

  6. 6

    Scatter with olives and parsley to serve.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 25 g parsley and 110 g white fish fillet. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
