Bacon Wrapped Cod With Pea Purée

A simple recipe that goes extremely quick (the fish anyway). The purée is a nice variation to that classical fish accompaniment, the pea. Can be served with just these two dishes but you can of course have boiled potatoes and a salad with it.

600g fillet of cod or other similar white fish
1 package of bacon (ca. 140g)
2 1/2dl frozen peas
1/2dl crème fraîche or sour cream
1/2dl chopped chives
salt
pepper

Thaw the fish if it's frozen.

Season them with salt and pepper then wrap the fillet with the bacon slices.

Place them in a ovenproof dish and place them in middle of the oven for about 10min at 250ºC.

Boil the peas in lightly salted water according to their own instructions, then drain them.

Put them in a blender or use a handheld one and blitz them to a paste together with the crème fraîche or sour cream.

Stir in the chives.

Serve the fish and purée with boiled potatoes, a salad and a slice of lemon.


Enjoy!

Legume Salad

This classical Swedish side dish works very well with cold cut meat, any type of ham or grilled chicken or turkey. It tends to be mostly used as part of buffets nowadays. The most important thing to remember about this recipe is that everything should be diced to about the size of the peas.

1 apple, peeled and cored
10cm of cucumber, peeled
1 large carrot, peeled
5 pickle slices
1dl green peas
2dl mayonnaise
salt
white pepper


Boil the carrot until it's soft, then let it get cold and dice it.

Dice the apple, cucumber and pickle slices.

Put all the diced things in a bowl together with the peas.

Flavor the mayonnaise with the salt and pepper then fold it into the vegetable mix.


Enjoy!
