Ingredients

Cauliflower

  • 1/4 tsp oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 piece cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 1/4 can cannellini beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1 Tbsp milk
  • 1/4 lemon, juiced

Fish

  • 150g market fish
  • 1/2 Tbsp Greek pesto
  • 1 Tbsp sliced almonds

Green Beans

  • 1/2 pack green beans

To Serve

  • 1 bunch basil, leaves picked
  • 1/4 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Before you start. Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a pot of small salted water to the boil.
  2. Prep & cook cauliflower. Prep garlic, cauliflower, beans and lemon. Heat oil in a pot on medium heat. Add garlic and cauliflower and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add a pinch of salt, cannellini beans, stock and milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer on medium heat for about 15 minutes, until cauliflower is tender and liquid has almost evaporated. Mash well with lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
  3. Prep & cook fish. Pat fish dry and remove any remaining scales or bones. Cut larger fillets in half and season with salt. Toss in a bowl with Greek pesto, until well coated. Lay fillets out flat on a lined oven tray and sprinkle over almonds. Bake fish for about 8 minutes (depending on thickness), until just cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, cook green beans. Cook green beans in pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and return to pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm.
  5. To finish. Prep basil and lemon.
  6. Serve. Cauliflower and green beans topped with fish, basil and lemon.
