Although it’s not Friday yet, we made this simple yet delicious fish.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg floury potatoes
- 800 g carrots & mangetout
- 520 g fresh cod fillets
- 75 g breadcrumbs
- 2 medium sized free range eggs
- 2 tbsp wheat flour
- 2 tbsp (olive) oil
- 30 g fresh parsley
- 25 g unsalted butter
- 150 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 0.5 tsp dried nutmeg
Directions:
Peel the potatoes, cut into equal pieces and cook them in plenty of water with salt, if necessary, for 20 min until tender. Meanwhile, cook the carrots for 8 min. During the last 2 min, add the snow peas. Drain in a colander and rinse briefly under cold running water.
Cut the cod fillet into 4 pieces. Put the breadcrumbs in a deep dish. Beat the eggs in a second plate.
Sprinkle the cod fillets with the flour, pepper and salt. Pass the cod through the egg and breadcrumbs successively.
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the cod fillets in 8-10 min. until golden brown. Turn halfway through.
Finely chop the parsley. Drain the potatoes. Add the butter, milk, parsley and nutmeg and mash with the masher to a coarse puree. Season with pepper and salt, if necessary. Divide the cod fillet with the parsley puree and vegetables among the plates.
