If you have a little bit of extra time, you can, like I have done here, prepare a potato mash and add hummus to it for extra flavour. In this dish of Hake with potato and hummus mash, I have mixed the hummus and potatoes for an extra yummy and healthy mash that goes well with fish.
Just like Japanese soy and Italian green pesto, I always make sure I have a bowl of hummus at home. Lazy as I am, I always buy it ready-made, but if you have a blender, you can easily put this together at home yourself. If you’d like to try, here is a Moroccan hummus recipe that you will love!
This Middle Eastern dish is made of chickpeas, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and tahini, a sesame seed paste, blended all together to form a paste. It is great as a meat substitute as it is very high in protein and a good source of fibre. It also contains loads of other goodies and is truly scrumptious, so eat away!
Hummus paste is great for sandwiches as a spread or added as an extra ingredient and flavour to something else. I even know people who eat it with a spoon!

Ingredients
4 potatoes
100-200g of Hake
50g of goat cheese
3 tablespoons of hummus
100g of broccoli
A small tin of corn
1-2 tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2-3 pinches of salt
2 tablespoons of honey
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes and boil them in a saucepan until ready (easy to mash).
De-frost the Hake and place in a frying pan in the oil.
When warm, place the goat’s cheese in slices on top of the Hake fillets and dribble the honey on top. Fry until cooked thoroughly - approximately 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, steam the broccoli and corn in a little water in a saucepan. Drain when done.
When the potatoes are ready, drain and mash them with a mixer or fork.
Add the milk and hummus and work until a smooth mash. Serve together with the fish and vegetables when ready.
I like the idea of mixing hummus with potatoes (in small amounts). Mashed potatoes, in my opinion, don´t have much flavour, so the hummus adds just the perfect amount of kick!
