Ingredients
| 1 tsp. Fresh thyme |
| 8 ounces Fresh whitefish (2 4-ounce filets) |
| 1 15 ounce can Canned no salt added chickpeas (drained and rinsed) |
| 1 medium Carrots, raw (cut into matchstick) |
| 1/4 cup Frozen peas |
| 1/2 large Yellow bell peppers (julienned) |
| 4 Tbsp Pumpkin seeds |
| 1 medium Green onions (thinly sliced crosswise) |
| 2 Tbsp. Olive oil |
| 4 Tbsp White wine |
| 1 tsp. Curry powder |
| 1/2 tsp. Garam masala |
| 1/4 tsp. Salt |
| 1 dash Black pepper (to taste) |
| 2 Tbsp Coriander (cilantro) leaves, raw |
Instructions
Fold 2 pieces of parchment paper or foil until they are almost a 15 inch x 12 inch square.
Starting at one end of the folded edge, cut a half of a heart shape in such a way that when the parchment is opened it is in the shape of a heart with the folding crease down the center.
To assemble the pouches, divide the beans placing the mixture on one half of each heart.
Top each with the fish filets.
Add half of the yellow pepper strips, carrots, peas, pumpkins seeds, and green onions.
Mix together the olive oil, white wine, curry powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper.
Pour the curry mixture over the top of the fish and top with the cilantro.
To close the pouches, fold the top of the heart over the fish and vegetables.
Then starting at the top curve of the heart, make a fold, overlapping your folds to create a sealed crimped outer edge. Continue working around the base of the heart until you get to the bottom point. Twist tightly and fold into a crimp to completely seal your packet.
Arrange the packaged fish on a baking tray and place in the oven.
Cook until the fish is fully cooked through (white and flaky) and has an internal temperature of 140F, about 12-15 minutes.
Place each pouch on a plate and let stand about 30 seconds to cool before opening to avoid burns.
There will be some hot steam that escapes when the parchment is cut (be careful!).
