The Tiny Italian

Fish & Seafood / Pulses / Recipes

Pan-fried Haddock w pancetta, cockles, peas, & lentils

I’m all about textures & flavours when it comes to food with me & this dish encompasses both & even more. The slight crunchiness of the lentils, served with the silkiness of the fish with the flavour combination of the cockles, pancetta & Basil pesto. I’m a little proud of this one. Made this for a couple of my favourite people & seeing their reaction made it all the worth while.
