Pan-fried smoked haddock with black-eyed beans
Simply fried pieces of smoked haddock are laid atop a bed of juicy black-eyed beans (sometimes known as black-eyed peas) in this effortless recipe. Salty dulse seaweed is used to dress the beans, while the oxalis leaves and flowers used to garnish the dish add a wonderful lemony tang – perfect if you have some flowering in your garden.
Ingredients
- 400g of undyed smoked haddock , cut into 100g portions
- 300g of black-eyed beans, soaked in cold water overnight
- 150g of dulse, soaked in water for 30 minutes to desalt
- 100g of olive oil, plus extra for frying and drizzling
- 1 bunch of asparagus , diced
- 4 shallots , finely diced
- 1 bunch of flat-leaf parsley , chopped
- 1/2 lemon , juiced

Method
1
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Drain and rinse the soaked black-eyed peas, then add to the pan, ensuring there is at least 4 inches of water above the beans. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 45–90 minutes – the cooking time will depend on the age of the beans, so regularly test them for tenderness

Once the beans are cooked, drain and place in a clean pan. Stir through the dulse sauce and add the shallots, parsley and asparagus. Season with salt and pepper (be careful with the salt as the dulse will still be quite salty), then place over a low heat to warm through while you cook the fish
