Crispy Black Bass With Pepper Tomato And Ginger Nage Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the fava beans and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Peel off the black eyelets from the bean's shells. Squeeze and pop the beans from their shells. Transfer the beans to a bowl.
• Add the asparagus and peas to the water and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to the ice water to stop the cooking and drain. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl of beans.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Rub the inside of the skillet with the 1 teaspoon of butter and sprinkle with the shallots. Generously season the fish all over with the salt and pepper, and arrange the fillets, skin-side up, in the skillet. Scatter the mussels over the top and pour in the vermouth and water. Cover the skillet and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook until the mussels have open (only uncover the skillet once or twice). Remove the skillet from the heat and let rest, covered, until the fish is just cooked through, about 6 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the fish and mussels to a baking pan, leaving the broth in the skillet, and keep warm in the oven. Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil, add the vegetables and whisk in the 4 tablespoons of butter, little by little, until fully incorporated. Whisk in the herbs.
• Divide the fish and mussels among 4 wide, shallow soup plates or bowls. Divide the broth and vegetables among the plates and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a stock pot, heat oil to medium high temperature then add dried shrimp into pot stir until oil coats shrimp, about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, add onion, celery, and carrots to mixture and saute for another 5 minutes, or until slightly translucent. Add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. Strain. Place strained mixture over low heat in a saucepan. Add daikon, cilantro and tomato and cook just until ingredients are heated through. Reserve.
• Method for moi: Place a nonstick pan over low heat and coat with olive oil. Place fillet, skin side down, in the pan and cook until golden brown. Turn fish over and cook until cooked through and golden brown.
• On medium high heat saute watercress and Manoa lettuce in olive oil for 5 to 10 seconds, just to wilt. Place greens in the middle of a plate and top with sauteed moi. Pour the shrimp nage around fish and greens.

Steps:

• For the corn: Add the milk and 2 cups water to a 3- to 4-quart pot and bring to a simmer. Add the butter, salt and sugar and cook until the butter has melted. Add the corn, cover, and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Remove the corn from the pot and cool down enough to handle, then cut off the kernels with a knife. (Hint: it will be easier to remove the kernels from the cob if still warm.)
• For the red pepper nage: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Mix together the oil, shallots, garlic, peppers, tomatoes, thyme and salt and white pepper to taste, making sure to coat all the ingredients evenly with the oil.
• Lay all the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes. Transfer to a blender and mix until smooth.
• Heat the heavy cream in a saucepot and bring to a boil. Pour the cream into the vegetable mixture and blend until incorporated. Strain the nage through a fine-mesh strainer.
• For the scallops: Heat 1 teaspoon of the grapeseed oil in a saute pan until hot (about 350 degrees F), and then sear the scallops until golden brown on both sides.
• Heat the remaining oil in a separate saute pan. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until soft, and then add the corn and cook for a few minutes. Turn down the heat and add the truffles, if using, the chives and tomatoes. Just before serving, add the butter and cook until melted and incorporated. Season with salt and white pepper.
• To plate this dish, we use an 8-inch round white plate. First, place a small amount of the corn succotash in the center of the dish. Place the browned scallops directly onto the corn. Finally, spoon a few ounces of the red pepper nage around the corn and serve.

Steps:

• Place the wine, vinegar, coarsely chopped vegetables, coriander and fennel seeds, peppercorns and bay leaf in a saucepan. Add water, bring to a boil, season with salt, and simmer about a half hour. Remove from heat, add the dill, basil and mint, and steep the herbs for an hour. Strain the broth and transfer to a deep saute pan large enough to hold the fish in one layer.
• Bring the broth to a simmer, add the scallions, tomato and ginger, cook about a minute and remove with a slotted spoon, reserving the liquid. Peel, seed and dice the tomato. Cut the ginger slices julienne style. Set the vegetables aside.
• With a sharp knife, lightly score the skin side of the fillets in a crisscross pattern to prevent them from curling. Bring the broth back to a very gentle simmer, place the fish in the broth skin side down and poach until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fish to soup plates.
• Bring the broth to a simmer again, spoon some over the fish and top the fish with the scallions, diced tomato, ginger and lemon pieces. Garnish with the coriander and serve. Freeze any leftover liquid for future use.

Steps:

• Combine the wine, water, vinegar, celery, garlic, leeks, the quartered tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt and cayenne in a large, wide pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Add the fennel, mint and basil and simmer for 20 minutes longer. Strain.
• Return the broth to the pot and simmer. Add the fish and poach until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fish to 4 large soup plates. Add the scallions to the broth and blanch until just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Arrange the scallions around the fish and top with the diced tomato, ginger, lemon and coriander. Ladle broth over the fish and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make salad:
• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in anchovy paste, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk in oil. Toss with remaining salad ingredients. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while fish roasts.
• Roast fish:
• Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle. Oil a 1 1/2-to 2-quart gratin or other shallow baking dish.
• Rub flesh sides of fish with 2 teaspoons oil (total) and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total). Divide onion slices and oregano sprigs into 2 portions and sandwich each portion between 2 fillets, skin sides out. Tie with kitchen string crosswise at 2-inch intervals and transfer to baking dish. Score skin on top in several places with a sharp knife and drizzle with remaining 4 teaspoons oil.
• Roast fish until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cut off string and cut sandwiched fillets in half crosswise. Serve topped with salad.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Put baking dish in roasting pan.
• Rinse fish and pat dry, then rub inside and out with salt. Transfer to baking dish and sprinkle with scallion strips (white and pale green) and ginger.
• Stir together soy sauce and sugar until sugar is dissolved, then pour over fish. Add enough boiling-hot water to roasting pan to reach halfway up side of baking dish. Oil a large sheet of heavy-duty foil, then tent foil (oiled side down) over fish and tightly seal around roasting pan. Carefully transfer roasting pan to oven and bake until fish is just cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.
• While fish bakes, cut enough scallion greens diagonally into very thin slices to measure 1/2 cup (reserve remainder for another use).
• Just before serving, remove foil from fish and sprinkle with scallion greens. Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes instantly. Pour oil around side of wok, then tilt wok to swirl oil, coating side, and heat until smoking. Remove from heat and immediately pour oil over scallion greens and fish.
