Steamed Cod And Mixed Green Peas With Basil Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Combine oil, lemon juice, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor. Add chopped basil, and pulse to combine.
• Make the fish and peas: Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove the center stem from a collapsible steamer basket (or use a bamboo steamer), and line with basil leaves. Place fish on top of basil, and season generously with salt. Set basket in saucepan. Steam, covered, for 2 minutes. Add peas, and steam, covered, until fish is opaque throughout and peas are bright green and tender, about 3 minutes more.
• Transfer fish and peas to a plate using a spatula. Top with radish, and drizzle with some vinaigrette. Season with salt. Garnish with small basil leaves.

Steps:

• Trim the outer leaves from the leeks and cut off the top down to where the leaves split. Cut the leeks into 3-4 chunks, then wash really well to remove any grit. Heat a steamer, add the leeks and cook for 8 mins. Tip in the peas and cook for 2-3 mins more until both are tender.
• Meanwhile, whisk the oil, vinegar, honey, mustard and seasoning together in a serving bowl to make the vinaigrette. Add the hot vegetables and herbs, and mix well.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Whisk the oil with the mustard, honey and vinegar in a large bowl and season.
• Put the leeks in the water, bring back to the boil, then simmer gently for 1 min. Add the beans and cook for 2 mins, then add the broccoli and simmer everything for 4 mins. Finally, add the peas, bring back to the boil and simmer for 1 min more. Drain really well, then tip into the large bowl and toss through the dressing. Serve straight away.

Steps:

• Place a steamer basket in a saucepan filled with 1 inch water. Bring to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and cook until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. In a bowl, combine asparagus, cucumber, vinegar, and oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until blended. Set aside.
• Arrange the fresh peas in a vegetable steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for 10 to 15 minutes or until the peas are tender. (If using frozen peas, follow package directions!). Remove the peas from the steamer and spread the butter over the peas. Let it melt evenly and stir. Serve immediately.
