- 6 small gherkins
- 2 tablespoons capers, preferably preserved in salt
- 1 green chili peppers or 1 red chili pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
- 12 basil leaves, shredded
- 1 limes or 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 bunch flat leaf parsley, stalks removed
- 8 black peppercorns
- 1 bay leaf
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pieces haddock (or your favourite white fish)

directions
- Place chopped onion, carrot and parsley in a pan with 1 litre of water, the wine, peppercorns, bay leaf and a sprinkling of salt.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa verde.
- Start by rinsing the capers and patting them dry.
- Throw the capers in a food processor, along with the chilli, shallot, basil, gherkins, dill and a bit of zest from your lemon or lime.
- Chop the parsley leaves until you have about 4 tablespoons and add them too, along with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Blitz until everything is chopped and mixed.
- Keep the motor running and slowly add the olive oil to make a pesto-type, thick, green sauce.
- You may need to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Ten minutes before you want to eat, strain the fresh bouillon into a large, deep frying pan.
- Bring it to a boil, place the fish in the pan and poach until just cooked through (as little as three minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish).
- Carefully lift the fish onto warmed plates, spoon the sauce over the top and serve.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
