Roast Turbot fillets with Clams

Roast Turbot fillets with Clams recipe, eat well on universal credit

The Turbot fillets were quite small to be honest. But they were half price. They also gave us an excuse to use up some Clams we have had in the freezer for quite a while.

Ingredients:-

2  Turbot Fillets
1 Bulb of Fennel, thinly sliced
300g of Potatoes, thinly sliced
1 Onion, sliced
A Pinch of Chilli Flakes
A Pinch of Fennel Seeds
250g of White Cooking Wine ( Cheap Wine, that you’d rather not drink! )
1 Lemon, cut into wedges
2 Tbsp of Dried Tarragon. One for the sauce, the remainder to garnish
Clams
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to season
Chopped Parsley to garnish ( We grow our own )

Method:-

(1) Bring a pan of Salted water to the boil.
(2) Blanch the Fennel and Potatoes for 3 minutes.
(3) Transfer to a roasting tin.
(4) Add the Onions, Chilli Flakes, Fennel Seeds and a good drizzle of Oil.
(5) Toss everything together to coat.
(6) Roast in a pre-heated oven at 180c for 10 minutes. Turning half way through.
(7) Remove from the oven and pour over 125ml of the Wine and add half of the Lemon Wedges.
(8) Add half of the  Tarragon and season with Salt & Pepper.
(9) Place the Turbot Fillets on the top and again drizzle with Olive Oil and season with Salt & Pepper.
(10) Roast for 20 minutes.
(11) Add the Clams and remaining Wine.
(12) Roast for a further 10 minutes until the Fish is cooked through and the Clams have opened.
(13) Scatter over the Parsley, remaining  Tarragon and squeeze over the remaining Lemon before serving.

This was a really clean and fragrant dish. Definitely a spring / summer meal.

“In January 2018 we found ourselves in a Homeless Hostel and some six months later had to resort to living in a tent in order to save our much loved dog Buster from any further separation. On a budget of £4 a day to feed ourselves and Buster via Universal Credit, we spent much of our time sourcing ingredients and fresh water just to survive. Probably to keep ourselves sane we kept a record of our recipes. Many of the recipes in the book were created and cooked beside our tent on a single burner camp stove. We were fortunate to be helped by several charities and now have a flat in York. The remainder of these recipes have been created and cooked here on the same very limited budget.”
 
This is our way of giving something back to the charities who helped us and are continuing to help the homeless and those in need. We hope you find them inspiring and more to the point tasty and frugal.
 
The Ebook costs £4 with all proceeds going directly to your chosen charity or cause.
