Ingredients

Strawberry sauce

Method

1.Preheat oven to 180°C and grease 2 cookie sheets.
2.Cream the butter and sugar until pale and light. Add the egg yolk and vanilla and mix, then add the flour. Knead the dough until it is smooth and malleable.
3.Working with ⅓ of the dough, roll it out on a floured bench until 3mm thick. Cut into a rectangle and then slice into thin slices approx 3mm wide and 90mm long. They should resemble shoestring fries at this point. Slice remaining dough into ‘chips’ and use a fish slice to lift slabs of multiple strips onto cookie sheets. Gently separate them with the blade of a knife to allow for spreading.
4.Bake for 7-10 minutes or until pale golden. Cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a cooling rack.
5.Make the strawberry sauce (see below).
6.To assemble, crumble a sheet of greaseproof paper and place over a sheet of newspaper. Pour the Strawberry sauce into a small bowl or pottle and arrange the ‘chips’, chocolate fish and sauce on the paper. Sprinkle with a little granulated sugar before serving.

Strawberry sauce

7.Place frozen strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan and heat gently until juices run. Simmer until very soft and thickened, around 3-5 minutes. Add the vanilla essence and purée to a smooth consistency. Store in the fridge.
  • The strawberry sauce will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge. – Place 2 unbaked ‘chips’ on a baking tray and cook to check how much they spread; you may need to adjust their thickness so the cookies resemble chips when baked.
