Ingredients
- Garlic Clove: 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Streaky Bacon: 2 rashers rindless smoked streaky bacon, cut into small pieces
- Frozen Pea: 140g frozen pea
- Creme Fraiche: 2 tbsp half-fat creme fraiche
- Sunflower Oil: 2 tsp sunflower oil
- Shallot: 1 long shallot or small onion, very finely sliced
- Cod: 2 x 140g/5oz thick skinless cod fillets
- Chicken Stock: 200ml chicken stock, fresh or made with 1/2 cube
- Little Gem Lettuce: 2 Little Gem lettuces, thickly shredded
- Bread: 2 thick slices crusty wholegrain bread, to serve
Directions
- Heat the sunflower oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Add the bacon, shallot or onion, and garlic. Cook gently, stirring, for 2 mins, then push to one side of the pan.
- Season the cod with ground black pepper. Fry in the pan for 2 mins, then turn over. Add the peas and stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook over a medium heat for a further 2 mins, then add the lettuce and creme fraiche. Cook for a couple mins more, stirring the vegetables occasionally, until the fish is just cooked and the lettuce has wilted. Serve with bread to mop up the broth.
