As you know we send out a questionnaire every week to see how you enjoyed your recipes. Ellie (our menu planning guru) sits down and gives our team the lowdown and from there we plan the weeks to come. Recently, we noticed a huge spike in popularity for fresh tarragon, hence the inspiration for tonight’s delicious dinner!
The quantities provided above are averages only.
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.

Boil a large pot of water with a pinch of salt. Scrub the new potatoes but keep the nutritious skins on. Cut them into quarters , add to the pot and boil for 10-15 mins. Tip: The potatoes are cooked when you can easily slip a knife through.
Cut the tops and bottoms off the green beans. Pick the leaves from the tarragon and finely chop. Boil another pot of water with a pinch of salt.
Pat each tilapia fillet dry with a little kitchen paper. Tip: For a crispy fish fillet, dip the fish in a little plain flour (if you have some). Season your fish with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add your fish. Fry on one side for 4-5 mins without moving your fish. Turn your fish over and cook for 1 minute more, then take out of the pan and keep warm. Tip: Keep the pan to one side for the sauce.
Pop your green beans in the pot of boiling water for 4 mins then drain. Boil the water (amount specified in the ingredient list) in a kettle then pour into a jug and dissolve the vegetable stock pot in it ready for the tarragon sauce.
Wipe any excess oil from the pan, add your stock to the pan on medium-high heat and allow to reduce by a third. Remove from the heat and add the crème fraîche. Give it a good stir then add your tarragon (the amount you add depends on how much you like tarragon!). Taste for seasoning and add more salt and black pepper if necessary.
When your potatoes are cooked, drain and lightly crush them 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 your crushed new potatoes and green beans between your plates. Top with your fish and tarragon sauce.
