Roast White Fish with Garlic Beans

  • 1 sliced leek
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 sliced shallot
  • 4 crushed garlic cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 700g tin of butter beans
  • 5 tbsp cream
  • 250g white fish fillets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 chopped tarragon sprigs
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • Heat the oil in a casserole dish and fry the leek, shallot and garlic with some seasoning for 5 mins to soften. Add the beans (including their liquid) and bay leaves, then stir in the cream and bring to a simmer. Nestle the white fish chunks in the bean mixture, then cover and cook for 8 mins or until the fish is cooked through.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and tarragon, being careful not to break up the fish. Season to taste, discard the bay leaves, and serve with crusty bread.
