Hake in “salsa verde”, a typical Basque dish
Equipment
- casserole with lid
Ingredients
- 4 slices hake about 2-3 cm thick
- 1/2 onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 200 gr peas may be frozen (preferably not a jar because they are no longer crispy)
- 100 ml white wine

- 4 eggs hard boiled
- pepper and salt
Instructions
- Grate the onion with a coarse grater and cut the garlic into slices. Finely chop the flat-leaf parsley. (set aside a little to add afterwards when serving)
- Put the oil in a casserole and fry the grated onion and garlic slices.
- As soon as the onion turns transparent, add the flour, stir well. Pour over the white wine. Stir well again and then pour in the stock. Pay attention! Do not brown the onion and garlic. Let it boil for a minute and then lower the heat.

- Boil the eggs for 8 minutes (let the water boil first and then put the eggs in it). Remove the eggshell and cut them in half lengthwise.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the hake is cooked. Divide between the plates. Place two half eggs in each plate and add extra finely chopped parsley. If wanted, add a bit of black pepper from the mill and ready …
