IngredientsMakes: 800g (1)
255g steamed mixed veg (recipe below)
400g broccoli & stilton soup (recipe below)
150g smoked basa fillet
65g kimchi no7 (recipe below)
Method
This is a great use for leftover broccoli soup!
It's a solid keto dish, the kimchi has 3 months on the clock so should be pretty low-carb.
The sauce is reminiscent of a light asian curry, that goes well with the smoked fish.
It's low-carb, and quick to make.
-
Bring the soup to a simmer in a high sided frying pan, then add the basa fillet, submerge it in the soup.
Put the lid on a leave the fish to poach for about 10mins.
Prep & steam the veg while it cooks.
Once the fish is ready - above 75C on a temp probe - add the kimchi.
Stir it in and leave it for 5 mins for the flavour of the ginger, chillies, the kimchi in general, to infuse into the soup.
Place the veg in a pasta bowl, with the fish on top and pour over the sauce.
