Fishy Thyme Goujons
with Sweet Potato Wedges and Minty Peas
This is a bit of a twist on the classic fish and chips you get at the beach, but the healthy version! There is nothing more comforting than eating some crispy battered fish and slightly soggy chips sitting on a bench at the seaside – this dinner will take you back to sunny days by the sea.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees. Chop your sweet potato in half, (no need to peel!), then into wedges the width of your index finger. Put them on a baking tray, sprinkle over ¼ tsp of salt, 2 tbsp of oil and put on the top shelf of the oven to cook for 30 mins.
Finely chop your mint and set-aside. Run your fingers down your thyme stalks to remove the leaves and finely chop these as well.
Cut your tilapia fillets into four evenly sized quarters, then prepare your breadcrumbs. Combine the chopped thyme and breadcrumbs in a bowl, season with ¼ tsp of salt and a good grind of pepper and set aside. In a separate shallow-ish bowl, pour in about 3 tbsp of olive oil.
Put your fish pieces in the oil bowl and rub a little olive oil on both sides of each fish fillet (if you run out of oil just add a bit more to the bowl). Dip them in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure each piece has a good covering of breadcrumbs. Put your goujons on a baking tray and pop on the top shelf of the oven to cook for 20 mins. If you can, carefully turn them halfway through the cooking time with a spatula, but don’t worry if this is a bit tricky.
Bring a pot of water to the boil with ¼ tsp of salt. Give your kitchen a quick tidy and when the goujons and wedges are 5 mins from being ready, add your peas to the boiling water. Cook for 1½ mins, drain and put in a bowl. Leave the peas to cool slightly for a couple of mins, then add the crème fraîche, mint, a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Use a fork or a masher to mash the pea mixture slightly to make your ‘mushy peas’!
Get your fishy goujons and wedges out of the oven and serve them with a dollop of mushy peas on the side… Enjoy!
