Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Combine the diced root vegetables, onion, and garlic in a deep roasting tin.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir the vegetables over medium heat on the stove until they begin to sizzle.
  • Roast in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender.
  • Boil shallots, vinegar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and wine until reduced to 30ml.
  • Add 15ml cold water and boil again until only 15ml of liquid remains.
  • Whisk in cold butter cubes one at a time over low heat until the sauce is thick.
  • Season to taste and strain the sauce through a sieve into a clean pan.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C.
  • Fry cod fillets skin-side down in oil and butter until crisp, then brown the other side.
  • Roast cod in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes until the flesh is opaque.
  • Divide ratatouille among plates, top with cod, and spoon over the lemon beurre blanc.
