Today we’ll see how to cook a fish fillet with vegetables. Sometimes recipe ideas come from spotting certain ingredients while shopping. It is sufficient to work from a little imagination, the dinner menu follows by itself! Leeks are one of those winter vegetables that are a little unloved, often associated with “strings in the soup” when we were kids … but tastes change, and I appreciate leeks associated with fish, hence the dish of the day: cod on a bed of leeks and crowned with leek sprouts.

1. Wash the leeks thoroughly, slice them into rings, and fry them in a pan with a little olive oil. Add some mace flower and cook, covered. Season according to your taste.
2. Cut the carrot in half and steam-cook for a few minutes; you can also just put it on top of the leeks in the pan. Then cut them into thin strips.
3. Cook the cod fillet blocks on two sides in the pan with a dash of olive oil and season. You can steam it if you prefer.
