Directions

  1. Wash the sweet potatoes, brush with some oil, season with salt, pepper and thyme, wrap in aluminium foil and cook in a preheated oven at 200  (top/bottom heating) for approx. 50 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, peel the garlic and cut it into slices. Chop the parsley and/or coriander. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a saucepan and sauté half of the garlic and half of the parsley/coriander in this. Add the lentils and steam. Add the star anise or fennel. Pour in approx. 500 ml of water and cook the lentils for approx. 15 minutes until tender and there is just a little liquid left in the saucepan (it may be necessary to add some more water). Stir in the stock powder.
  3. Peel the plantains and cut them into slices. Rinse the cod, pat it dry and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
  4. Fry the slices of plantain in 2 tbsp of oil. Heat the rest of the oil in a second pan and fry the cod fillets with the rest of the garlic for approx. 3 minutes on both sides.
  5. Remove the sweet potatoes from the foil, peel off the skin and cut them into slices.
  6. Season the lentils with salt, pepper and balsamic vinegar. Divide the lentils and sweet potato onto plates, add the cod and plantain and sprinkle the rest of the parsley/coriander on top.
