Lemon Sole Garbure

Published on 08 December 2022
Lisa Faulkner’s Lemon Sole Garbure is a pescatarian twist on a satisfying soup-turned-stew originating from south-west France. The MasterChef winner and OcadoLife regular has swapped the traditional ham for a lightly dusted fillet of fish and uses haricot beans, but use any white beans you have in the cupboard. Finish with a scattering of parsley for a fresh herby hit. Time and servings

Place the lemon sole fillets on a baking tray and cook in the oven as per pack instructions.Step 3
Add the bouquet garni or bay leaf to the casserole, along with the kale, beans and stock, and cook over a high heat for 10 mins, until reduced to a stew-like consistency. Remove the bouquet garni/bay leaf, season to taste and add the lemon juice.Step 4
