Ingredients

4 tbsp olive oil

2 large banana shallots, roughly sliced

2 fat garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 jar Queen Borlotti Beans - with their bean stock

3 cod loins (hake also work well)

For the Salsa Verde

15g parsley, finely chopped

A small bunch of basil, roughly chopped

1 tsp mustard

3 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp capers + splash of the juice

½ lemon juice + zest

Serving suggestions

Greens such as tenderstem broccoli, green beans or asparagus

Directions

1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the shallot and cook gently for about 6-7 minutes until softened and starting to turn golden. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute until fragrant.

2

Pour in the beans with their bean stock. Reduce the heat slightly and allow to simmer gently away while you carry on with the rest of the recipe.

3

In another frying pan, heat a couple tablespoons of oil over a medium heat. Add the cod, skin side down, and season well with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning them as they cook. As soon as they flake, they are ready.

4

While the fish is cooking, make the salsa verde. Add all the ingredients to a small dish and mix well to combine. Test for seasoning and adjust if needed.

5

Spoon the borlotti beans onto a serving plate. Put the cod on top and spoon over the salsa verde. Serve with greens of choice, with an extra squeeze of lemon, if you like.
