My husband came up with this creation for Easter dinner, as Tilapia is indigenous to the sea of Galilee. It remains the best fish I have ever put in my mouth, absolutely beyond restaurant quality.

SAUTEED TILAPIA WITH ALMONDS AND CHERRIES



Sauteed Tilapia With Almonds and Cherries image

Another WW recipe. 4 Points Plus per serving. I used fresh peaches instead of cherries on my first try since that's what I had on hand. You can probably use nearly any fleshy fresh and ripe fruit. I served this with couscous cooked in apple juice and water, and broccoli.

SAUTEED CHERRIES WITH GRAPPA AND ALMONDS

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, divided
1/2 cup whole almonds, skin-on
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, sifted
1 pound or 3 cups whole cherries, preferably Bing cherries, washed, dried, cut open and pitted, but left somewhat whole
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1/2 cup Grappa, plus a splash to finish
1 pint lemon sorbet

Steps:

  • After spending some time in the south of France, I really came to love certain fruits and nuts mixed together in desserts. Maybe it's because almonds and cherries are actually both fruits, that I feel they belong together. Or maybe, quite simply, it's the flavor combination of these 2 ingredients that makes them perfect (and simple finish) for any meal. It can be paired with a sorbet or ice cream, depending on your mood.
  • Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and the almonds. Stir to coat the nuts with the butter. Add the ground cinnamon and toss to coat. Toast until fragrant. Transfer the almonds to a bowl and set aside.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and allow it to get hot again, about 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and toss in the cherries. Stir in the sugar and cinnamon sticks. Cook for 1 minute, stirring so the sugar dissolves, then remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully add the Grappa and gingerly return the skillet to the heat. Step back a little as the alcohol may cause the pan to flame slightly. Stir and continue cooking until the liquid becomes somewhat syrupy, an additional 1 to 2 minutes Remove the cinnamon sticks.
  • Arrange the cherries in 4 to 6 bowls, top with almonds, a splash of Grappa and a generous scoop of lemon sorbet. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality seafood.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a little oil or butter: A little oil or butter will help to prevent the food from sticking to the pan and will also help to brown it.
  • Cook the food over medium-high heat: Medium-high heat is ideal for sautéing. This will help to quickly cook the food without overcooking it.
  • Season the food to taste: Once the food is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices.
  • Garnish the dish before serving: A simple garnish can make a big difference in the presentation of your dish. Try using fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or roasted nuts.

Sautéed tilapia with almonds and cherries is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home.
