Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line two baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a grater & a sieve

Roast the potatoes

  • Zest and quarter the lemon. Quarter the potatoes
  • Place the potatoes on a lined baking tray and toss with the lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until soft and golden

Roast the veg and hake

  • Dice the courgette, onion and pepper into bite-sized pieces. Zest the lemon
  • Season to the hake with salt, then place onto one side of the other lined baking tray. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil. Place the prepped veg onto the other side on the lined baking tray, sprinkle with the oreganos and drizzle with 1 tsp oil
  • Bake together for 17 mins, until the veg is golden and fish cooked through

Meanwhile; make the ratatouille

  • Finely chop the garlic. Trim the green beans. Drain the butter beans
  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic, and green beans and cook for 3-4 mins. Add the passata, sundried tomato paste, butter beans, 50ml water (25ml for 1 person). Simmer for 10 mins until the sauce has thickened. Add a splash of water if it gets too dry. Season with salt and pepper
  • When the roasted veg is ready, remove from the oven and gently stir into the sauce

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork. Cook for longer if necessary
  • Share the ratatouille between bowls and top with the hake fillets. Serve the lemony potatoes alongside and garnish with the remaining lemon cut into wedges
