 Ingredients

  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic clove, crushed
  • 120ml stock (from LighterLife Savoury Broth)
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 7 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 125g canned butter beans, drained (approx 1 small can)
  • 150g cod fillet, skinned
  • 80g fine green beans
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

 

Method

  1. In a non-stick frying pan over a low heat, gently cook the red onion and garlic in the stock for 8-10 mins, until tender.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar, tomatoes and thyme and cook for 3 mins. Stir in the butter beans and continue cooking gently for 2-3 mins. Add the cod and cook for 8-10 mins, turning halfway through.
  3. Meanwhile, steam the green beans until they’re just tender.
  4. Serve the tomato and butter beans topped with the cod, with the green beans on the side. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, black pepper and parsley before eating.

 

Tip

You can cook other fish in the same way, including oily types like salmon or tuna fillet. Try haricot, flageolet or cannellini beans instead of the butter beans.
