Fish with baby leeks and borlotti beans recipe

 

This fish with baby leeks and borlotti beans pairs well with a Sauvignon/Semillon blend. It is a classic match with seafood. For a spoil try Vergelegen White Blend, even more food-friendly with at least six years ageing.

  • 80ml (? cup) olive/avocado oil
  • 45ml (3 tbsp) butter
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
