Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper
  • Pul out a large saucepan, a small bowl, a sieve & a measuring jug

Roast the potatoes

  • Halve the potatoes (quarter any large ones)
  • Place onto a lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 mins, until golden and cooked through

Bake the fish & prep

  • Meanwhile, dice the aubergine and courgette into 2cm chunks
  • Place both onto the other lined baking tray. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the cod alongside the veg, drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil and season. Roast for 22 mins, until the fish is cooked through and the veg is soft and golden
  • Meanwhile, finely slice the onion. Thinly slice or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the dill and gherkins. Drain and rinse the beans

Simmer simmer

  • Heat the large saucepan with 2 tsp olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 5-6 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 secs, then stir in the beans, passata, nutritional yeast and 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Simmer for 6-8 mins, until the sauce thickens

Finishing touches

  • When ready, stir the roasted aubergine and courgette into the beans. Add a splash of water if the sauce gets too thick. Season with salt and pepper
  • In the small bowl, mix the gherkins, half the dill and juice from the lemon with 1 tsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Share the cod between plates, with the potatoes and beans alongside. Drizzle over the gherkin dressing and scatter the potatoes with the remaining dill to finish
