While Friday nights are usually takeaways or pizza nights in many households, we found a delicious hake and pumpkin recipe for those who are trying to stay on the straight and narrow with summer approaching.

The best part about this recipe is that you can just put your hake and pumpkin in separate foil packets in the oven with all their ingredients and take them out when the timer tells you it’s ready.
