For a complete family meal, choose this almond crusted fish recipe with pureed eggplant and a broad bean side.
- Preheat oven to 200°C. Place the eggplant on a baking tray. Pierce all over with a skewer or fork. Cook in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. Peel and place in the bowl of a food processor.

Drain, remove skins and place in a glass or ceramic bowl. Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add speck and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until crispy. Add to broad beans along with the basil, oil, vinegar and salt. Gently toss to combine. Set aside.
