Ingredients

Soup

pesto

Method

  • Cut the hake into serving pieces.
  • Bring plenty of lightly salted water to a boil in a pot.
  • Add the cod pieces, turn off the heat, and let it steep until the fish just begins to flake, about 6 minutes. The water should not boil vigorously but stay just below boiling point.

Soup

  • Roughly chop the onion, and finely chop the garlic, parsley, and chives.
  • Cut the vegetables into equal-sized cubes, about 0.5 cm in size.
  • Heat olive oil in a pot, and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
  • Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Add potato cubes and pasta, and let it cook for 8 minutes.
  • Add the remaining vegetables and beans, and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and add parsley and chives just before serving.

pesto

  • Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet and let cool.
  • Blend the pine nuts, basil, garlic, Parmesan, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, and dilute with more olive oil if you prefer a softer consistency.

Serving

  • Serve the Minestrone soup in deep bowls and place the fish on top. Spoon pesto over each fish piece.
