Ingredients

  • 1200 g hammour, fillets cut into slices 140g each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 40 ml lemon juice, or juice of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of white ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 cubes MAGGI® Chicken Less Salt Bouillon, dissolved in 500ml boiling water
  • 150 g reduced fat cooking cream
  • 500 g purslane
  • 500 g fettuccine
  • 500 g baby asparagus

Preparation

Marinate the fish with the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper for 5 minutes. Arrange on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 8 minutes.

Sauté the chopped onion with the butter until sweetened, but without browning. Add the vinegar and reduce heat, then add the MAGGI® Chicken Less Salt Bouillon and cream; bring to boil, then add the purslane leaves and simmer for a maximum of 10 seconds. Take out from heat; blend with a hand blender and strain.

Cook the pasta in boiling water and, at the same time, dip the asparagus in hot water and then refresh with running cold water.

Arrange the fish with the pasta and asparagus in a serving plate, and top with the purslane sauce.

Cooking tips : Purslane is a very tender vegetable; do not overcook it, or else it will lose the color. To fortify the green color in the recipe, you can add 100g of fresh or frozen spinach leaves together with the purslane while cooking.
