Recipe of the Week: Fish With a Crispy Potato Crust and Roasted Pumpkin

What a delicious dish - I dare to say that this was MUCH better than most meals in the restaurants....unless they have a Michelin star ;-).

A tad tricky with the potato crust - but you can do it! 

A wonderful mix of flavours with the extra twist with some horse radish on the fish underneath the crust. 

The creamy parsley sauce just complements the great meal, which takes max. 45 minutes to prepare.

  • 1 onion
  • 1 spoon of ghee
  • ½ spoon of flour
  • 100 ml vegetable broth
  • 100 ml cream
  • 2 spoons of parsley
  • 400 g Hokkaido pumpkin
  • 2 spoons of butter
  • a tad of water
  • Salt, pepper, a tad of cardamom
  • 170 – 200 g of potatoes
  • 300 g fish
  • 2 spoons of horse radish
