Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cod

    Season the cod fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and pan roast the cod for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

  2. 2

    Grill the Prawns

    In the same skillet, add the prawns and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Make Whey Custard

    In a saucepan, gently heat the whey until warm. In a bowl, whisk together the whey and a pinch of salt until slightly thickened. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare Zoodles and Tomato Salad

    Using a spiralizer, create zoodles from the zucchini. In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to make a fresh salad.

  5. 5

    Toast Pine Nuts

    In a dry skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat until golden, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spoon the tomato gravy, then layer the zoodles, followed by the pan-roasted cod. Top with grilled prawns, whey custard, fresh tomato salad, and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and dollops of house ricotta.
