Method

Roll up the plaice fillets and set them aside.

Fry the bacon in a dry pan until crisp and drain on kitchen paper.

Melt butter in the bacon pan, then add peas, parsley, 50ml water, and cream.

Simmer the mixture briefly then blend into a smooth purée and season to taste.

Steam the new potatoes in the bottom bamboo basket over boiling water for 7 minutes.

Line the top basket with greased greaseproof paper and add seasoned fish rolls.

Add asparagus and peas in pods to the potato basket and steam for 3 minutes.

Stack the fish basket on top and steam everything for a final 3 minutes.

Plate the fish and purée with bacon and vegetables, then garnish with dressed pea shoots.
