White Fish and Bacon are a combination that traditionally goes together very well. Recently we acquired some back Bacon Rashers from the wonderful local farm shop at Stretton Hall, see their website at: (2) Stretton Hall Farm Shop | Facebook for more about them.
Prior to making to dish we had prepared the garden and set out the seeds we were going to grow for this summer's vegetable garden project. On the player was the downbeat, claustrophobic thud of the Manic Street Preachers 1994 offering "The Holy Bible". It can be heard at: Manic Street Preachers The Holy Bible (1994) - YouTube . It's the last album to feature contributions from guitarist Richey Edwards who vanished in mysterious circumstances not long after its release.
To make this dish you need the following ingredients:
Six Rashers of Back Bacon.
Two Hundred Grams of Samphire.
Three Mooli Radish, peeled, topped and tailed and sliced thinly. We used some that had been freshly grown out of my garden.
Two Cod Fillets.
A head of Broccoli, cut into small florets.
This one is a simple recipe to make and it goes like this.
1. Layer the Broccoli florets across the bottom of a steaming pan.
2. Put the Cod Fillets on top of them.
3. Steam for thirty minutes.
4. Meanwhile fry the Mooli Radish and Samphire on a medium heat for ten minutes.
5. Add the Bacon and continue to fry lightly for another ten minutes.
The moist and succulent feel of the Cod offsets the sharp taste of the Mooli Radish and salty texture of the Samphire and the Bacon making this a tasteful combination for all.
