The Anonymous Widower

A New Take On An Old Favourite

I cook fish with beans and peas quite regularly, using Lindsey Bareham’s recipe. Tonight I gave it a new twist to make it easier. I first assembled and prepared all the ingredients.

Ingredients

Note that instead of using a lemon, which I often forget, I’m using Carluccio’s olive oil with lemon. A small  pack of beans are trimmed and halved, the fish is laid flat in a dish and enough peas to fill a mug are taken from the freezer.

The fish is then sprayed with a couple of tablespoons of the olive oil and then put in an oven at 200 °C for 10-12 minutes. The beans are put in boiling water for a couple of minutes and then the peas are added.  It’s probably better to taste them to get them right, but I’ve done this so many times, I just use my eyes. In fact, when I need green vegetables I cook a few this way.

You then serve the fish on a bed of the vegetables.

Fish With Beans and Peas

It tasted very good with Carluccio’s oil.

The great thing about this recipe, is that all you need to buy is the fish and the beans, if like me you keep the peas in the freezer.

I should say that I’ve served it for a lady a couple of times and they’ve been impressed.  One even did the washing up!

But even the washing up is minimal with this dish.
