Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, halved and cut into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 lemon (1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and stir to coat. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves, 3/4 teaspoon salt, the saffron and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cover the pot and cook until the potatoes are mostly tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

FRIED COD WITH GREEN PEPPERS



Fried Cod With Green Peppers image

Translated from Karlos Arguiñano's "Atrévete a cocinar". I've never found green peppers like the fine ones in Spain. They look much like poblanos but they're not spicy in the least, and they don't taste as strong. Red bell peppers might make a good substitute. Spring onions in Spain are about the size of a small regular onion in the US. I would use maybe 4-6 green onions if I'm in the US. The author doesn't recommend measuring equipment, so a tbsp means a soup-spoonful.

Categories     Peppers

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (200 g) fresh cod fish fillets, cut in half
3 green peppers
1 spring onion
2 garlic cloves
5 tablespoons olive oil
salt

Steps:

  • Peel green onion and julienne. Clean peppers, remove stems and seeds and cut into strips.
  • Without peeling them, crush garlic cloves with broad side of chef's knife.
  • Heat oil in large frying pan, add garlic cloves (still unpeeled) and fry until they start to turn golden. Transfer garlic to plate, peel and reserve.
  • Add cod to pan and fry 3 minutes each side. If the skin is still on, it's very important not to fry the skin side first. Fry the side with no skin first. After frying remove from pan, place on plate.
  • Add green onion and pepper to pan, add salt to taste and cook 12 minutes on med-low heat.
  • Return fish to pan with any liquid on the plate (the fish will release some liquid while it sits), also return peeled garlic to pan and cook on medium-low heat for 1 minute.
  • Serve fish and vegetables together.

PAN-FRIED SEA TROUT, PEAS & CHORIZO FRICASSéE



Pan-fried sea trout, peas & chorizo fricassée image

Sea trout has a subtle flavour that goes well with robust ingredients like smoky chorizo

Provided by Gordon Ramsay

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 fillets of sea trout about 150g each (or use salmon)
25g butter
1 lemon , halved
1 tbsp olive oil
100g cured chorizo , about 1 small sausage, diced
350g waxy potatoes , such as Charlotte, peeled and cut into small cubes
large pinch sweet smoked paprika
125ml fresh chicken stock
150g cooked peas
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp small capers , drained
1 red onion , finely chopped
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
small bunch tarragon , chopped

Steps:

  • First make the dressing. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the capers and the onion and cook for 3 mins until softened. Splash in the red wine vinegar and bubble down, then remove the pan from the heat. Add the rest of the oil and the tarragon, then leave to infuse.
  • For the fricassée, heat the oil in a sauté pan, add the chorizo and fry for 2 mins until it starts to crisp and render out red oil. Throw the potatoes and paprika in the pan and cook for 5 mins, tossing occasionally, until they start to brown on the edges.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, turn up the heat and boil the stock for 8-10 mins until it has nearly all evaporated and the potatoes are tender. Stir the peas into the potatoes and cook for 2 mins more until heated through, then set aside.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the trout fillet at close intervals, then season generously with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan. When it starts to sizzle, carefully lay the fish in the pan, skin-side down. Gently fry for about 8 mins until the skin is crisp and golden and most of the flesh has changed colour with just the top still raw.
  • Carefully turn the fish fillets over, then squeeze over the juice from one half of the lemon. Cook for 1 min more, basting fish with the lemony pan juices. Turn off the heat and leave the fish in the pan. You are now ready to plate up - you can serve the other lemon half on the side if you like.
  • Spoon a pile of the fricassée into the centre of each plate. Place another spoonful of the mixture on top to create a small heap. Gently sit the fish fillet on top, skin-side up. Spoon the caper dressing around the outside of the plate and serve.

ROASTED COD WITH WHITE BEANS, TOMATO COMPOTE, AND TRUFFLE OIL



Roasted Cod With White Beans, Tomato Compote, and Truffle Oil image

Make and share this Roasted Cod With White Beans, Tomato Compote, and Truffle Oil recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Sandi From CA

Categories     European

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped shallot
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 lbs tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 lbs cod fish fillets, cut into 6 equal portions
1 1/2 cups cannellini beans (RESERVE 1/4 C COOKING LIQUID or use water) or 1 1/2 cups borlotti beans (RESERVE 1/4 C COOKING LIQUID or use water)
truffle oil (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the shallots and garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and cook the tomatoes until all the liquid has evaporated, but the tomatoes are still slightly chunky.
  • While the tomatoes are cooking, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Season both sides of the cod with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and sear each side for about 2 minutes, or until nicely browned. When the fillets are seared, place them on a baking sheet. Put cod in the oven to finish cooking. (According to Chef Ripert, an easy test for doneness is to insert a metal skewer into the center of a fillet for 5 seconds. The fish is done when the skewer goes in easily and, when removed, feels slightly warm to your lip.).
  • Place 1/2 cup of the beans in a food processor with the reserved bean-cooking liquid and purée until smooth to make the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, spoon tomato compote in the center of each plate and place a cod fillet on top. Spoon bean sauce outside the compote, and sprinkle reserved whole cooked beans around the fish and over the two sauces. Drizzle with tiny drops of truffle oil.

SEARED WHITEFISH WITH SWEET CORN, KOHLRABI, AND TOMATO COMPOTE



Seared Whitefish with Sweet Corn, Kohlrabi, and Tomato Compote image

Provided by Dana Slatkin

Categories     Fish     Tomato     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Basil     Corn     Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 shallots, sliced
4 garlic cloves, sliced
8 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sugar to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 small kohlrabi, leaves removed
4 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless and skinless whitefish fillets
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 ears white or yellow corn, kernels cut from the cob (about 1 cup), cobs reserved

Steps:

  • Prepare the compote:
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat and add the shallots and garlic. Cover and cook the mixture until it is soft. Add the tomatoes, reduce the heat, and continue cooking uncovered until thickened. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir in the chopped basil and thyme. The compote will be thick, like tomato jam.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, with a vegetable peeler, peel off the skin of the kohlrabi and discard; cut each kohlrabi into 1/2-inch wedges. Cook in the boiling water until the tip of a knife pierces through easily, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Pat the whitefish fillets dry and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high until almost smoking. Add the fish and cook on both sides until nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. If necessary to finish cooking the fish, transfer the skillet to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is slightly firm to the touch.
  • While the fish is cooking, heat the remaining teaspoon of olive oil in a sauté pan and cook the kohlrabi and corn to heat through, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place the vegetables in the middle of warmed serving plates. Transfer the whitefish from the oven to the center of each plate, spoon a little compote over each fillet, and serve.

COD WITH MUSHROOM-HERB CRUST AND TOMATO COMPOTE



Cod with Mushroom-Herb Crust and Tomato Compote image

Categories     Fish     Herb     Mushroom     Tomato     Bake     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

For tomato compote:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound tomatoes, peeled, seeded, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sugar
For fish:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, room temperature
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 large egg
6 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups fresh breadcrumbs made from French bread
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 shallots, thinly sliced
1 cup fish stock or bottled clam juice
4 6-ounce cod, orange roughy or red snapper fillets

Steps:

  • Make tomato compote:
  • Heat oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add tomatoes and sugar. Stir until tomatoes are very tender and mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. Season tomato compote with salt and pepper.
  • Make fish:
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and chopped shallots. Sauté until liquid evaporates and mushrooms begin to brown, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Using electric mixer, beat 5 tablespoons butter in large bowl until light. Beat in egg, then parsley, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix in breadcrumbs and mushroom mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle sliced garlic, sliced shallots and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme over bottom of 15 x 10 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Add fish stock, then fish fillets. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Spoon breadcrumb mixture atop fish, covering tops of fish completely and pressing slightly to adhere. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover tomato compote and fish separately and refrigerate. Rewarm compote over medium-low heat before serving.)
  • Bake fish until opaque in center, about 15 minutes. Transfer to broiler. Broil just until topping is crisp and golden, about 1 minute.
  • Using slotted spatula, transfer fish to plates. Transfer cooking liquid to another medium skillet. Bring cooking liquid to simmer over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and whisk just until melted and well blended. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce around fish. Spoon dollop of tomato compote alongside and serve fish immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cod you can find. Fresh cod should be firm to the touch and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid cod that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Soak the cod in milk or water before cooking. This will help to remove any excess salt and make the fish more tender.
  • Cook the cod gently. Cod is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it over low heat. Overcooking will make the fish tough and dry.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. The red pepper compote in this recipe is just one example of how you can add flavor to cod. You can also try adding herbs, spices, or citrus to your dish.

Conclusion:

Fricassee of cod with red pepper compote is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cod is cooked gently in a creamy sauce, and the red pepper compote adds a pop of flavor and color. This dish is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
