Ingredientsfor cod meunière by Valentin Vasseur & Léo Barbenson

  • 800 g cod fillets

  • 600 g Roscoff pink onions

  • 200 g kasha (toasted buckwheat seeds )

  • 4 spring onions

  • 100 g smoked pork belly

  • 50 cl liquid cream

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 lemon

  • 1 knob butter

  • Salt and pepper

Steps for the cod meunière by Valentin Vasseur & Léo Barbenson

  1. Soubise: In a saucepan, gently fry the minced garlic and pink onions with a little butter, a sprig of thyme and cover. After about 30 min. cooking time (there should be a slight browning), add the cream and reduce until thickened. Blend, adjust seasoning and keep warm for serving.

  1. Buckwheat stew: Brown the diced smoked bacon in a saucepan. Add the kasha and 40 cl of stock (or water). Bring to the boil, stop cooking and leave covered (the buckwheat will absorb the liquid).

  1. Spring onions and cod: Cut the cod into 4 nice steaks. Halve the spring onions and grill in a non-stick pan with a drizzle of olive oil. Once nicely grilled, add the cod steaks and cook for 1 min on each side. Add a knob of butter and cook in the oven at 180°C for 5 to 10 min, depending on the thickness of the cod.

  1. Presentation: Remove from the oven, add a drizzle of lemon juice and arrange to taste.
