- 2 cup potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5cm cubes
- 1 cup swede, peeled and cut into 1.5cm cubes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- dash of sea salt

Instructions
In a bowl, toss diced veg with a little olive oil and seasoning. Tumble veg into a hot frying pan with a little oil. Arrange in a single layer. Sizzle for a moment. Prep haddock, if using. Soak in warm water for 5-10mins. Drain. Fleck the fish from the skin. Turn your veg in the pan. Cover for a few mins, until softened. Uncover. Add a slosh of whisky (if using) and a lump of butter. Fold in the garlic, leek and thyme. Turn to coat. Cook till nicely coloured up. Stir often. Fold in fish. Add lemon juice. Taste. Adjust seasoning. Finish with lemon zest and herbs. Delicious hot with a dollop of crème fraiche, a loaf of warm bread, cold butter and a bottle of real ale. A poached egg on top is also delicious. Or, skip the haddock and serve with haggis or roast venison. Brilliant for Burns’ Night.
