25-MINUTE COD WITH LENTILS



25-Minute Cod with Lentils image

Using canned lentils instead of raw saves you at least 30 minutes of cooking time. Here, we simmer them quickly with bacon and red wine to play up their earthy flavor; sliced celery stirred in at the end adds a fresh, crisp note. The lentils make a terrific bed for the mild, meaty cod fillets.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 stalks celery, trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced on the bias, plus 1/2 cup loosely packed leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Four 6-ounce skinless cod fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
4 slices bacon, cut into matchsticks
1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup red wine
Two 15-ounce cans brown lentils, strained and rinsed
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium saucepan over high heat, stirring frequently, until just brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and stir constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the wine, bring to a boil and cook, stirring, to scrape up any bacon and browned bits, for about 1 minute. Stir in the lentils, chicken broth and pepper flakes, and return to a boil. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally and reducing the heat if necessary to maintain a medium boil, until saucy but not watery, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the celery, celery leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Season the fillets all over with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the fillets skinned-side down and cook, undisturbed, until crisped and browned, 3 to 4 minutes (the fish should be opaque between the large natural flakes). Flip the fillets, and cook until just beginning to flake, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the fillets from the skillet, and turn off the heat. Add the butter to the skillet, and allow it to melt and brown.
  • Divide the lentils among 4 bowls or soup plates, top each with a fillet and drizzle with browned butter.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 carrots, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
1 large or 2 small leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise
Kosher salt
1 8-ounce package precooked lentils (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2-pound piece center-cut skinless cod fillet, cut into 4 pieces
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely grated
3 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
4 cups baby arugula (about 2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚. Combine the carrots, leeks and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes (add a few tablespoons of water if necessary). Add the lentils and cook, tossing, until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add 2 tablespoons each vinegar and olive oil; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, season the cod all over with salt and pepper. Combine the mustard and garlic in a bowl; spread on one side of the fish. Combine the breadcrumbs and parsley in a shallow bowl. Press the mustard side of the fish into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cod crumb-side down; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes (rotate the skillet as needed for even browning). Carefully flip the fish, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toss the arugula in a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon each vinegar and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Divide among plates; top with the lentil mixture. Serve with the cod.

COD WITH LENTILS & TOMATOES



Cod With Lentils & Tomatoes image

This is nice with crusty bread to mop up the sauces. It's nice & light with lots of flavours & could easily be reduced to serve as an entree instead of a main. Cod is a favourite in Britain - you can easily buy it frozen all year round.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 stalks celery, chopped finely
4 garlic cloves, chopped finely
3 slices streaky bacon
150 g puy lentils
2 bay leaves
425 g chopped tomatoes
100 ml dry white wine
450 ml vegetable stock
600 g thick cod fish fillets
1 lemon
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan (that has a lid) on medium heat.
  • Add the onion, celery & garlic & saute for 3-4 minutes, taking care not to burn.
  • Add the bacon & saute for 4 minutes.
  • Add the puy lentils & stir to coat in the oil.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and bay leaves, stir and increase the heat until the liquid is boiling. Boil for 2 minutes.
  • Add the stock, reduce the heat so the mixture is simmering, then cook for 30 minutes, or until the lentils are al dente.
  • When the lentils are nearly done (I reckon this is about 10 minutes from the end - they will taste a bit soft but still retain a slight firmness) place the cod fillets on top of the lentil mixture, pressing slightly into the mix, squeeze the lemon over the top and put the lid on your pan. Cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • Grind over salt & pepper to taste & serve.

SAUTéED COD WITH LENTILS



Sautéed Cod With Lentils image

We highly recommend using French green lentils for this recipe because they become tender without falling apart.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

For lentils
1 cup (7 ounces) dried lentils (preferably French green lentils often called lentilles du Puy)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped onion (1 large)
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus additional (optional) for drizzling
For fish
4 (5- to 6-ounces) pieces cod fillet (3/4 to 1 inch thick)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish: lemon wedges; chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare lentils:
  • Cover lentils with cold water by 1 1/2 inches in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just tender, 12 to 25 minutes. Drain in a sieve set over a bowl and reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid.
  • While lentils are simmering, melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, then stir in onion, garlic, and salt and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until golden, 5 to 10 minutes more.
  • Stir in lentils and enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten (1/4 to 1/2 cup) and cook until heated through.
  • Just before serving, stir in parsley, lemon juice, pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Cook fish while onion finishes cooking:
  • Pat fish dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat butter and oil in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté fish, turning over once, until browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total.
  • Serve fish with lentils and drizzle with additional extra-virgin olive oil if desired.

COD WITH SPICED RED LENTILS



Cod With Spiced Red Lentils image

This dish has quickly become a family favourite. Easy, healthy and delicious, with just the right amount of spiciness. The recipe as-is can come out more like a stew, so if you want it to be a plate (not bowl) dish, decrease the liquid a little and be careful as the cod releases a lot of water when cooking.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup red lentil
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
1 lb cod fish fillet, skinned and cut into large chunks

  • Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the cumin seeds and, when they begin to pop, add the ginger and cayenne pepper. Stir-fry the spices for a few seconds, then pour on to the lentils. Add the lemon juice and the coriander and stir them gently into the mixture.
  • Lay the pieces of cod on top of the lentils, cover the pan and then cook gently over a low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is tender.
