Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Cut the new potatoes into quarters (no need to peel!). Pop them in one of your pans of boiling water and cook for 10-15 mins. TIP: The potatoes are cooked when you can easily slip a knife through. Trim the tops off the green beans. Pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks).
Pat each tilapia fillet dry with a little kitchen paper. Season the fish with a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. Put a splash of oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the fish, skin-side down. Fry for 4-5 mins. Then turn and cook for 2-3 mins more. TIP: The fish is cooked when the centre is opaque. Remove it from the pan, set aside and keep warm. Keep the pan - we'll use it again!
Pop the green beans in your second pan of boiling water. Cook for 4 mins, then drain in a colander. Boil your kettle, then pour the boiling water (amount specified in the ingredient list) into a jug with the vegetable stock pot. Stir to dissolve, ready for the tarragon sauce.
Add the stock to your frying pan on medium-high heat. Boil until it has reduced by a third, 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat, wait 1 minute then add the crème fraîche. Give it a good stir then add the tarragon (don't use it all if you only want a subtle flavour). Taste for seasoning and add salt and black pepper if necessary.
When the potatoes are cooked, drain in the colander and allow to steam dry for a minute. Return them to the pan and lightly crush with the back of a fork. For a decadent finish, toss them in a knob of butter (if you have some) and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Divide the crushed new potatoes and the green beans between your plates. Top with the tilapia and finish with a generous amount of tarragon sauce. Enjoy!
