Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 leeks
- 200 gram green beans I use frozen
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 100 mililiters white wine
- 400 mililiters fish fond
- 250 gram creme fraiche or sour cream with over 10% of fat
- 1 tablesoon flour
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sugar or more
- 100 gram green peas I use frozen
- 500 gram fresh cod or salmon
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables
- Peel the leek and remove the green parts. Cut it into rings that are one centimetre wide. Wash the rings and tap them dry.
- Wash the rest of the vegetables. Remove the tip of the green beans' stem end. You can keep the tail if you like.
Stew the vegetables
- Preheat the pan to medium heat and melt the butter in it.
- Add the leek and fry for 3 minutes. Add the wine and let it evaporate.
- Add green beans and fish fond. Cover the pan with the lid and simmer for 10 minutes. The vegetables should be tender after this.
Prepare the fish
- In the meantime, wash, tap dry and cut the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- Season the fish with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Make the sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the creme fraiche and flour.
- As soon as the leek and green beans are tender, add the creme fraiche-flour mixture. Bring it to a boil. Add green peas, mustard, salt, pepper and sugar. Try the sauce and see if you like it. Correct the seasoning if needed.
Add the Fish
- Bring the sauce to a boil and add the fish. Make sure that the fish pieces are covered with the sauce. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 6-7 minutes. Be gentle when stirring, as the dish pieces may fall apart.
Notes
Tips
- If you want the cod pieces to remain intact, add the fish at the end and from that time on, stir the goulash gently
- If you want your green beans to be vibrant green, cook them separately and rinse them with cold water
