Smoked haddock and creamy mozzarella...



What’s in the fridge? The perpetual train home question. I decided I could make something out of nothing tonight and remembered that the boy had bought smoked haddock.

Anya potatoes were boiled with salt then left to cool and green beans and courgette chunks were steamed till just soft enough but not watery. Mix crème fraiche, lemon juice, a dollop of mayo, small capers and chopped parsley and mint. Two big lumps of mozzarella were torn into the mix. Then I put everything in a big bowl, stirred it around and tried not to dribble as it was spooned onto the plates.

The haddock went into a deep frying pan with half milk, half water and a couple of bay leaves… overcooked for the boy, undercooked to perfection for me. Ground black pepper over the top, et voila.
