Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep, lidded frying pan and cook the onions for 2-3 mins, until soft. Stir in the turmeric, garlic cloves and baby potatoes; season. Cook for 10 mins, adding a little more oil if necessary.
  2. Stir in the puy lentils and pour in the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5-10 mins. Sit the haddock chunks on top, then cover and simmer for 5 mins, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, make the salsa. With a fork, mash together the garlic cloves, capers, anchovies, red wine vinegar, extra-virgin olive oil, parsley, coriander and mint.
  4. Dot the salsa over the fish and lentils, stirring gently but taking care not to break up the fish. Serve straight away.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Leave to cool. When cold, carefully transfer the mixture to a lidded, freezerproof container. Label and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost overnight in the fridge, reheat as individual portions in the microwave on high for 4-6 mins, until piping hot. Alternatively, transfer to a large pan, top up with a little hot water and simmer gently until piping hot.
