HADDOCK FISH BUBBLES AND THE YOG 'N’ DILL DIP!

Hello chums… and welcome! I’ve been waiting for someone just like you to help me in my quest.

You see, I really want to cook something special for my sweetheart, but I’ve got

two claws for hands... and I can only go as far as snipping! Could you brilliant

chefs help me cook a special fish dish for my darling?

Whoops, the tide is coming in. Better get started :)

Let’s get to it! Chop- chop.

Ingredients

FEB

Garlic3 cloves

Salta pinch

Garlic1 clove

Lemonone half

Olive Oil1 tablespoon

( That’s fish fritters for you grown-ups :) )

Prep Time: 1 hour + chilling time Cooking Time: 20 minutes Serving Size: about 35 fritters

Put the potatoes in a saucepan. Cover them with water. Boil

them. Meanwhile, finely chop the onion. Grownups, you start

the ball rolling on this one!

Now, heat a splash of olive oil in a large frying pan; cook the onion and add pressed garlic,

stirring, until the onion softens. Leave them on the side to cool

down. Time to call the little ones. It’s their turn soon!

Place the fish in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil uncovered. Reduce heat,

simmer, covered for 5 minutes. Safety advice for the little

ones: “saucepan handle always towards the inside!” and keep

an eye on the saucepan to avoid overflow.

Splish Splash! Wash your hands before you start!

Fish is yummier by the sea… how about some seaside music to set the scene!

Grownups, do the honours!

Team up. Together is better!

Wahay! Kids lead the way!

To know whose turn it is to get messy, refer to the spoon icons below:

Add the olive oil and the salt. Stir the mix until smooth and

even. Tada! A little chef is born!

Kids cover and place the dip in the fridge. Meanwhile,

grown-ups drain the fish and discard the water. Rinse the fish

in cold water and flake it with your hands. Rinse a small piece of fish in loads of cold water, so that the little ones can help you

flake it.

Check if the potatoes are tender using a knife. Drain.

Remove skin. Roughly mash them in large bowl. Let the kids

help you: Squish, squash!

While this happens, let’s make our dip! Kids lead on this one.

They can make it from start to finish :) Let’s start by emptying

the yoghurt into a bowl.

Now, rinse the capers, drain and add them to the yoghurt. Easy

peasy, right?

Chop the dill finely, press the ½ lemon and add them to the mix.

Just give the little helpers safety scissors for the dill…

Told you they could make the dip on their own :)

My darling’s favourite colour is green. Would you have some dill or olives to add to the mix by any chance? They look like the kind of seaweed my friend the

Octopus grows in his garden. Please, I know this would charm her for sure!

13Place the bubbles on a baking-tray lined with

greaseproof paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.

Grownups do the first ones to show how it’s done. Leave a little bit of space between

each ball. They’re like little pets going for a nap! Um, sort of.

14Heat the vegetable oil in a large

saucepan. Deep-fry the bubbles, in batches, until

lightly browned and heated through. Drain on paper towels.

Grownups, time to turn these little balls into delicious

fish bubbles (aka fritters).

15Yey! Well done!

Give each other a high-five, or a messy hug!

TURN IT INTO A HEART! Rinse a heart of lettuce (such a romantic veggie!). Rip the leaves and put them in the salad

spinner (whoosh, whoosh!). Add a mini can of corn, a splash of olive oil, a pinch of salt and ½ a lemon. Lay it on a plate and add some fish bubbles to form a heart. Splendid!

Did you find the dill and the olives? Yes? Amazing! Time

to chop these delicious ingredients to add a little bit of flavour to the mix. Grownups

take care of the olives. Kids are on dill duty!

Combine the fish, the onion, the parsley, the olives and the eggs

with the potatoes; mix well. Now time to add the secret

ingredient: love! Give your hand a big smooch and sprinkle that love lavishly! Kids add the eggs. They can practice in a separate

bowl first: knock, knock :)

Now team up for the crafting step: roll level tablespoons of

fish mixture into balls (they should be around 3cm/over 1”)*.

Yey! Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’.

‘Hop, a dollop of fish, Now time to grab the mix,

Roll and roll and roll, Until it makes a ball!’

Hey cooks, let’s make Step 12 fun by turning it into a song! Follow it to make the first bubble and repeat each time:

• Print the templates above (or ask a grown up to draw a heart for you).• Cut the heart using safety scissors. • Write something nice.• Tape it to a toothpick. • Stick it into a fish bubble to make them extra special! Or just give it to someone you love :)

Email me a photo of your fish bubble dish at hello@lostmy.name with the subject “Fish heart for my sweetheart” and tell us your names. I’m sure it will impress my sweetheart!

Thank you so much for helping me cook these scrumptious fish bubbles!

I’ve prepared a surprise just for you... paper hearts! I’ve snipped them with my own claws, so that you too can tell someone that you care about them. Aren’t they wonderful? I’ve attached the template below. Now you can make one for mummy, daddy… or your secret sweetheart :)

Use this chart to see if potatoes and Haddock are in season next time you cook :)

This recipe has been cooked with seasonal produce. So your ingredients travel less and are fresher… Hurray for us and the environment!

NO FISHY FISH!

Go on a field trip to the

fishmonger! He’s your best

bet for any fish question

and you can ask him to

take the skin off and pin

bone your fillet for you.

Yey!

SPACE SPUDSDid you know that in 1995, potatoes became the 1st vegetable to be grown in space? Pretty good news since humans can apparently survive on a diet of just potatoes, and milk.

FISH DON’T GROW ON TREESFish have seasons, just

like fruit and veg. Haddock breed from March to April, so enjoy it now before that

happens. Yum!

Tada!
