Ingredients

  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 225 g thick beans (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt
  • black pepper
  • 0.5 lemon
  • 3 eggs
  • 25 g Parmesan
  • 350 g redfish fillet
  • a little flour
  • 75 ml white wine
  • 5 basil stems

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Separate the thick bean seeds from their skins or thaw them, then remove them from the shells.

  2. 2.

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pot. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent.

  3. 3.

    Add beans and cook for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice; set aside.

  4. 4.

    Whisk 2 eggs in a bowl. Grate parmesan finely and fold into the eggs with a pinch of pepper.

  5. 5.

    Slice redfish fillets at a slight angle into thin slices.

  6. 6.

    Season fish with salt and pepper, coat lightly in flour, tapping off excess. Heat remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan.

  7. 7.

    Dip fish slices into the egg mixture.

  8. 8.

    Place fish slices in the hot oil; fry each side for 3 minutes over low to medium heat until golden yellow. Wash basil, dry, remove leaves; set aside some whole, finely chop the rest.

  9. 9.

    Meanwhile whisk white wine, remaining egg, and chopped basil in a bowl over a simmering water bath for 5 minutes with a whisk until creamy. Plate beans with fish and drizzle with basil foam. Garnish with basil leaf pieces if desired.
