Serves: 2
350g butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2cm cubes
11⁄2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
200g cavolo nero, stalks stripped out and leaves roughly torn
1 shallot, halved and finely sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp single cream
2 Waitrose Boneless Sea Bass Fillets
1 small lemon, juice of 1⁄2, rest cut into wedges
1.Preheat the oven to 220 ̊C, gas mark 7. Toss the butternut squash with 1⁄2 tbsp oil and 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin, season and spread out on a parchment-lined baking tray; roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden.
2. Meanwhile, blanch the cavolo nero leaves in a large saucepan of boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, then squeeze out the excess water. Return the pan to a medium heat with 1⁄2 tbsp oil, the shallot, garlic and a pinch of salt; sweat gently for 5 minutes. Add the cream and wilted cavolo nero and heat together for a minute, then set aside off the heat. (Reheat when ready to serve, adding a splash of water to loosen if needed.)
3. Five minutes before the squash is ready, heat the remaining 1⁄2 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Season the sea bass, lightly slash the skin a few times (to prevent it from curling while cooking), then dust the skin with the remaining 1⁄2 tsp ground cumin. Fry, skin-side down, for 3 minutes until golden. Turn the fillets, remove the pan from the heat and squeeze in the juice of 1⁄2 lemon; leave for a minute to finish cooking in the residual heat of the pan.
Ensure the fish is thoroughly cooked and opaque. Roughly crush the squash with a fork and divide between plates with the cavolo nero, sea bass and lemon wedges.
