Recipe - Pan-Fried Chicken With Carmarthen Ham

350 g Floury potatoes; minced
75 g Unsalted butter
1 lg Shallot; finely chopped
75 ml Dry white wine
120 ml Vegetable stock
2 tablespoon Olive oil
75 g Smoked streaky bacon lardons
2 75 g cod fillets; boned with
skin on
175 g Cabbage
One half Lemon
4 Spring onions; trimmed
4 tablespoon Double cream
2 tablespoon Snipped fresh chives; plus
whole chives
; to garnish
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper

1 Heat a saute pan. Place the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted
water, cover and simmer for 1012 minutes until tender. Melt 25g/1oz butter
in the saute pan, add the shallot and cook until softened but not coloured,
stirring.

2 Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small wok. Add the wine to the shallot and boil
until well reduced. Add the stock and boil to reduce.

3 Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan. Add the bacon to the small
wok and cook for 23 minutes until it begins to crisp.

4 Shred the cabbage and add to the bacon with a knob of butter. Stirfry
for a few minutes until just tender. Season generously and keep warm.

5 Season the cod fillets all over. Add a knob of butter to the frying pan
and cook the cod for 23 minutes on each side until just tender and the
skin is crisp and brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm.

6 Finely chop the spring onions, add to the potatoes and cook for another
minute or two until the spring onions are just tender. Stir the double
cream into the reduced stock mixture and gently heat through. Set aside
until needed.

7 Drain the potatoes and return to the heat for a minute or so to dry out.
Remove from the heat and mash well. Beat in the remaining butter and season
to taste.

8 Place a lightly greased 7.5cm/3" cooking ring on a lightly greased baking
sheet and spoon in half the mixture. Press down well. Add the chives and a
squeeze of lemon to the sauce and reheat.

9 Divide the cabbage between warmed serving plates and place a cooking ring
on top of each one. Using a fish slice, carefully remove the ring. Top with
a cod fillet and garnish with the whole chives. Spoon around the sauce and
serve at once.
