Sea Bass and White Bean Ragu

Method

Preparation and Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ragu

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Combine Beans and Broth

    Add the drained white beans, vegetable broth, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Cook the Sea Bass

    In another pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sea bass fillets with salt and pepper. Cook the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Finish the Ragu

    Stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley into the ragu just before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the white bean ragu and top it with the cooked sea bass fillets. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
