##Beer-Battered Fried Dover Sole Fish with Swiss Chard and Potatoes

  • Dover Sole Fish fried and beer-battered is exceptionally juicy, offering a delightful contrast with its crispy exterior and tender interior. My mother traditionally prepared hake fillets using this method, and I have applied the same technique to this fish. Accompanying the dish, I paired chard with potatoes, which are also incredibly easy to prepare. The preparation process is both quick and straightforward. Follow the recipe for best results.

  4. During this time, peel the potatoes, wash them and cut them into pieces.

  5. When the water boils, add Swiss chard to cook for about 15 minutes.

  6. Remove the Swiss chard with a slotted spoon onto a plate. Wait for the chard to cool, then cut them into pieces.

  7. Add potatoes to the same liquid and cook for about 20 minutes.

  8. Separate 200 ml of liquid and strain the rest well. Set aside.

  9. In the same pot, add olive oil and heat on low to moderate heat

  10. Add strained potatoes and dry seasoning Vegeta, 100 ml of liquid and mix. Cook until the liquid evaporates.

  11. When the liquid has evaporated, add the chopped garlic, as soon as it smells, add the Swiss chard and the rest of the liquid.
