Whipping up a quick weekday supper doesn't need to mean compromising on flavour.
When everyone is rushing about like mad things, a delicious, quick to prepare supper in the middle of the week is a blessing. In our house the typical Wednesday meal becomes a takeaway, possibly because more effort goes into weekend meals and starting fresh at the beginning of the week. When we get to the middle it becomes easier to dash down the road.
Though delicious offerings abound from the Indian and Vietnamese joints near us, these recipes use interesting ingredients which are easy to find and cook then either throw together on a plate or arrange artistically if needing to impress a guest or two. My favourite part is the fact you can get comfy and only need a fork to enjoy a plateful of delicious and healthy food. It's only a maximum of 15 minutes prep time - much less than it can take to get to a takeaway and home again.
There is much being said about trying different types of fish as many of our favourites are now becoming unsustainable, so I was impressed to see many varieties on sale when shopping for this article. Blue and red cod, monkfish and alfonsino are all delicious and well worth experimenting with.
I have used blue cod today because it is quite a meaty, firm-fleshed fish which embraces the textures and flavours of the kamokamo and parsley pesto.
