Method
1. For the peas: heat the olive oil in a small frying pan and cook the shallot until softened and just turning golden.2. Add the pancetta and cook to give it colour. Deglaze the pan with the wine and vinegar. Cook until reduced by two-thirds.
3. Add the peas and cook for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the stock and cook for a further 5 minutes. Season and stir in the cream, butter, lemon juice and chervil.
4. For the fish: lightly dust the fish fillets with seasoned flour. Heat a non-stick frying pan and add the fish fillets. Colour slightly then add the butter and spoon over the fish as it cooks on both sides - 2-3 minutes until golden.
5. To serve, put the peas in the corner of a square plate with the John Dory on top. Garnish with pea shoots and crisp slices of pancetta.
