About this recipe

These little packages of fish and vegetables are a recipe that reminds me of my grandmother. She was always looking for ingenious ways to use seasonal vegetables and make fish more appealing to children, including me! Although she didn't have a Thermomix®, the spirit of this recipe, the simplicity and the use of leftovers, is totally hers. The smooth cabbage, with its large and flexible leaves, acts as the perfect wrapper for this healthy bite. Its mild and slightly sweet flavor complements the rest of the ingredients without overpowering them. The portion-sized dabs, with their white and delicate flesh, provide the main protein. It is important to make sure they are fresh and boneless for a more enjoyable experience. The pumpkin, with its creamy texture and slightly sweet flavor, adds a touch of color and nutrients. The onion and red pepper, finely chopped, provide an aromatic flavor and a touch of sweetness that balances the saltiness of the soy sauce. Low-salt soy sauce is key to enhancing the flavors without overloading the dish with sodium. A splash of water helps create steam inside the Thermomix® that cooks the fish and vegetables to perfection. And, of course, extra virgin olive oil, a fundamental ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, provides a rich and healthy flavor. For preparation in the Thermomix®, it is important not to overload the bowl when cutting the vegetables. If necessary, do it in two batches. When cooking the fish with the vegetables, use the "stir to the left" function to prevent it from falling apart too much. If you prefer a crispier texture in the vegetables, reduce the cooking time in step 3. This dish is very versatile. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can substitute the fish with firm tofu cut into cubes or with sliced portobello mushrooms. You can also experiment with different spices and aromatic herbs. A little grated ginger, a touch of chili powder or a few fresh cilantro leaves can completely transform the flavor of the dish. To serve, you can accompany the packages with steamed basmati rice, a fresh salad or steamed potatoes. A drizzle of fresh lemon juice just before serving enhances the flavors and adds a refreshing touch of acidity. If you have any leftover packages, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a maximum of two days. To reheat them, you can use the microwave or the oven. You can also prepare the vegetables in advance and store them in the refrigerator until it is time to cook the fish. This will save you time in preparing the dish.
