Fillet of Cod over Creamy Fennel Risotto
with green beans, Parmigiano Reggiano & spinach
Though not common, fennel can actually grow up to 2 meters tall. Fortunately, the fennel in your box is a lot smaller than that, and therefore much easier to prepare!

Cooking Steps
1
- Prepare the stock.
- Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
- Quarter the fennel and discard the core, then chop the fennel into very thin strips. Set aside the fennel fronds to use later as garnish.
- Tear the lemon thyme leaves off the stems.
2
- Melt a knob of butter in a wok or deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the garlic, onion and lemon thyme for 1 – 2 minutes.
- Stir in half of the fennel and fry for 5 – 7 more minutes.
- Stir in the risotto rice and toast the grains for 2 minutes, then add half of the white wine vinegar and a third of the stock.
- Allow the stock to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly.
3
- Repeat with the rest of the stock, adding it in two more batches. Continue cooking over medium-high heat for around 20 - 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the rest of the fennel with the sugar and the rest of the white wine vinegar. Set aside until serving.
- Discard the tips of the green beans and then cut in half.
- Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.
4
- Fill a pot or saucepan with a shallow layer of water, then add a pinch of salt and the green beans.
- Cover with the lid and bring to the boil, then cook the green beans for 6 - 8 minutes until al dente.
- Drain and then stir in a knob of butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then set aside.
5
- Pat the fish dry with kitchen paper and season with salt and pepper.
- Shortly before serving, melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the fish for 1 - 2 minutes per side.
- Tear the spinach directly into the risotto and mix well, allowing it to wilt and reduce.
- Stir in the mascarpone and half of the Parmigiano Reggiano, then season to taste with pepper.
6
- Serve the risotto on plates, topped with the green beans and the fish.
- Serve the fennel salad alongside.
- Garnish with the rest of the Parmigano Reggiano and the reserved fennel fronds.
