  • 4 tbsp olive oil

  • pepper (ground)
  • 400 g enoki mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp dark sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 4 cod fillets about 180 g each with skin

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel, wash and roughly cut the potatoes; boil in salted water for 25-30 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Wash and trim the cauliflower; add to the pot 15 minutes before the potatoes finish cooking.

  3. 3.

    Drain the potatoes and cauliflower, let them steam dry, then mash through a potato masher with milk and remaining butter into a smooth purée. Sieve and season with salt and nutmeg.

  4. 4.

    Wash and halve the pak choi; sauté in 2 tbsp hot olive oil for about 4 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.

    Clean the enoki mushrooms; fry in hot sesame oil for about 3 minutes, seasoning with soy sauce and pepper.
