If you want the ultimate reference point for umami, miso is it, Chef! This Japanese fermented soybean paste brings that savoury-sweet funkiness that makes a dish irresistible. Combined with butter to drizzle over crispy-skin trout, sided with roasted beetroot, and a pickled carrot, cabbage & toasted peanuts slaw, it will be impossible to stop eating.

CAN’T BEET THIS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the beetroot pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway).
PICKLED VEG
In a salad bowl, combine the vinegar and 5ml of sweetener (to taste). Toss through the sliced cabbage, the grated carrot, and seasoning. Set aside to pickle.
GOLDEN PEANUTS
Place the chopped peanuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MISO BUTTER
Boil the kettle. Return the pan to medium heat. When hot, melt 10g of butter. Remove from the heat. To a bowl, add the miso paste (to taste) and 15ml of boiling water. Mix until loosened and slowly whisk in the melted butter until combined. Set aside.
