“Golden milk is the inspiration for the curried bean base in this richly flavoured combo,” says food writer and editor Caroline Morrish, who created this gluten-free Spiced White Fish with Golden Milk Beans. “The creamy beans are a perfect partner for fried basa and other white fish; or try them with salmon or grilled chicken.”
