  • 20g pistachios, chopped 
  • 2 tbsp grated reduced-fat mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese

  • A small handful of parsley, finely chopped

  •  250g cherry tomatoes, on the vine

 For the sweet potato:

  • Rapeseed oil spray 
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary (or 1.5 tsp dried rosemary)
  • Ground pepper 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.  Prepare two baking trays, line both with foil and spritz one with rapeseed oil spray.  Finely chop the garlic cloves and onion and leave aside.  Then prepare the sweet potato by peeling the skin, cutting them into cubes and placing them on the non-greased tray.  Spritz the sweet potatoes with rapeseed oil spray and place them in the oven for 25 minutes.   
  2. In the meantime, in a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, chopped pistachios, parsley and stir with a teaspoon of olive oil and some ground pepper.  Wipe the outside of the mushrooms with dry fingers (do not rinse under water as this makes the mushrooms soggy), place on the other greased baking tray with the stalks facing up.  Fill the mushrooms with the breadcrumb and pistachio mixture and place in the oven for 15 minutes. After the mushrooms have been in the oven of 15 minutes, place the tomatoes in the oven next to them. 
  3. Over a medium heat, melt half a tablespoon of low fat spread in a frying pan and cook the onions and garlic until brown and leave aside in a dish.  Using the other half of the low fat spread, cook the sea bass fillets in a non stick pan, skin side down for 3 minutes.  Add the squeezed lemon juice and white wine and let them cook for another few minutes.  Pour the garlic and onions back into the surrounding juice, and add the chopped parsley.  Turn over the fillets and cook for another 2 minutes.   
  4. Place all the components on a plate, and decorate the sea bass with a lemon slice and few whole leaves of parsley.
