Almond Cod With Peas Recipes

Steps:

• Place a large dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add almonds. Stir constantly until they are tinged with color. Take from heat, and transfer to a bowl to cool.
• Season both sides of the fish well with salt and pepper. Place the same pan over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil. When both begin to bubble, add cod fillets skin side up. Brown fish until opaque all the way through, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer fish to a warm serving plate, skin side down.
• Reduce heat under pan to low, and add lemon juice. Stir to blend with butter and oil, then pour this sauce over fillets. Scatter parsley over cod, and scatter with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Remove fish from freezer and let stand at room temperature while preparing herb mixture. Put garlic, parsley, oregano, 1 tablespoon almonds and paprika in food processor. Chop with an on and off motion. Heat oil in a 4- or 6-quart pressure cooker; brown remaining 1 tablespoon almonds in hot oil. Remove from cooker and drain on paper towels; set aside. Put chicken broth or wine in pressure cooker and stir in herb mixture. Place cooking rack or steamer basket in cooker. Cut fish into 4 even pieces and place on rack. Close cover securely.

Add frozen peas to cooker. Close cover securely. Place pressure regulator on vent pipe. Cook for 1 minute, at 15 pounds pressure, with regulator rocking slowly. Cool cooker at once. If desired, thicken mixture with 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water. Pour peas into serving dish; place fish on top of peas. Sprinkle fish with browned almonds and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the sunflower oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Add the bacon, shallot or onion, and garlic. Cook gently, stirring, for 2 mins, then push to one side of the pan.
• Season the cod with ground black pepper. Fry in the pan for 2 mins, then turn over. Add the peas and stock, and bring to a simmer. Cook over a medium heat for a further 2 mins, then add the lettuce and crème fraîche. Cook for a couple mins more, stirring the vegetables occasionally, until the fish is just cooked and the lettuce has wilted. Serve with bread to mop up the broth.

Steps:

• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add mushrooms and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add couscous and stir until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Add clam juice and 5 cups water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until couscous is al dente, about 10 minutes.
• Add cod and peas and bring back to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fish is flaky and and cooked through and couscous is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in scallions and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide cod, vegetables and couscous across bowls, and top off with remaining broth. Serve warm.
