Plancha Grilled Striped Bass With Creamed Kale Blanched Garlic Puree And Wheat Berries With Tomato Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, thyme or oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Add fish to marinade, and turn to coat; cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on grill, skin side down, and season with salt. Grill until skin is lightly browned and starting to crisp. Carefully turn fillets, and cook until well browned and cooked through (center will be opaque), 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with chives and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grill grates.
• Toss together the olives, parsley, vinegar, tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper and toss again; set aside until juicy.
• Meanwhile, brush the fish on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish, skin side up, until it has strong grill marks and releases easily from the grill, about 5 minutes. Rotate it about 45 degrees to create a crosshatch pattern and continue to grill for another 3 minutes. Turn the fish over and cook until just opaque throughout and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the side registers about 135 degrees F, 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board.
• Using the natural seams of the fish as a guide, cut into 4 pieces. Put a slice of bread on 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of fish and spoon the tomato mixture and its juices over the top.

Steps:

• 1.Prepare fillets by seasoning each with salt and pepper.
• 2.Place whole sweet peppers in cast iron skillet and heat until peppers start charring. Rotate peppers until even charring occurs.
• 3.Remove and cut peppers into bite size pieces.
• 4.Place onions and potatoes in saute; pot with cold water and heat until simmering.
• 5.Once simmered for 2 minutes, strain and reserve.
• 6.In the heated skillet, place oil immediately followed by seasoned fillets.
• 7.Rotate fillets once browning occurs, after 2-3 minutes.
• 8.Cook fillets for an additional 1 minute, remove and reserve covered loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• 9.Add lemons, peppers, potatoes, onions, and tomatoes to skillet.
• 10.Once vegetables brown, return fillets to the top of skillet.
• 11.Finish with parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Serve with toasted bread.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high.
• Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt and pepper. Divide the onions, peppers, and garlic into 6 portions. Place a mound of onions, peppers, and garlic in the center of a 12-by-24-inch sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place a portion of the fish on top, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley and add 1/4 cup of the wine. Fold the foil into a packet and seal it on all sides. Repeat with packets for the remaining fillets.
• Place the packets on the grill, seam up, and cook until the fish is opaque, about 15 minutes. It is best to test the cook time with the one packet, as cooking time varies grill to grill. Carefully open the packets and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. Liberally coat the eggplant in herb oil and season with salt and black pepper. Spread the eggplant out in 1 layer in a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes or until they are fully cooked and soft to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the sliced onion, fennel, and thyme and allow the mixture to cook while stirring frequently. Once the onions and fennel have wilted, about 5 minutes, add the sugar and continue to cook until all excess liquid has dissolved and the mixture begins to caramelize on the bottom of the pan. This takes about 30 minutes. Add the golden raisins. Deglaze the pan with the Champagne vinegar and mix well. Mix in the toasted pine nuts and remove any stems of the thyme. Let cool.
• Place the roasted eggplant rings on sheet pan spaced equally apart. Top off each ring with the onion and fennel mixture, forming a flat base for the zucchini, yellow squash and tomato slices. Alternate the zucchini, yellow squash and tomato slices around the top of the onion and fennel mixture by layering each piece on top of one another in a circle, tucking under the last piece to form a full, cohesive circle. Top each tian with herb oil, salt and black pepper. Place in the oven to heat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a pot over medium heat, heat the basil cream and check for seasoning.
• Preheat a grill to high.
• Working with the skin side up, use a sharp knife and cut on the bias, to make an incision in the center of each fillet. The incision should not go all the way through to the other side, but should create a pocket. Stuff each incision with a healthy pinch of the fennel tops. Season each fillet with salt and pepper and coat them with homemade herb oil. Grill over high heat. Each fillet will take approximately 6 to 8 minutes to cook (3 to 4 minutes on each side).
• Using a spatula, carefully place a vegetable tian on each plate. Pour the basil cream around each tian. Place 1 of the striped ref="http://www.foodterms.com/encyclopedia/bass/index.html" class="crosslink" debug="2184 2196">bass fillets on each plate. Garnish the plate with the remaining fennel tops.
• Place the rosemary and the olive oil in a blender and cover. Blend on high speed until the roasemary has been ground into small pieces. Add the tarragon and thyme and continue blending until all the herbs have been broken down into small pieces. Pour into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
• In a saucepot, add the white wine and garlic cloves. Over medium heat, allow the wine to reduce by half. Add the cream and salt and bring to a boil. Add the basil to the cream and allow it to cook for 1 minute, making sure it is fully immersed so no browning occurs. In a blender, blend the cream mixture in a medium sized batches on high until the mixture is bright green (about 2 or 3 minutes).
• Immediately pour the cream into a container resting in ice to chill. Stir constantly. Continue this process until all the cream is blended and cooled rapidly.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, cilantro and garlic in a large shallow bowl.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• With the tip of a paring knife, make three diagonal slits through the skin of each filet.
• Place the fish in the marinade and turn to coat the fish.
• Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.
• Light a charcoal grill or turn a gas grill to medium high.
• Place the bass on the grill and cook for about 8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easy.

Steps:

• Place garlic in a large pot of water and bring to a boil; generously season with kosher salt. Add kale and cook until very tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain kale and garlic. When cool enough to handle, squeeze as much water from kale as possible.
• Transfer kale and garlic to a food processor with 1 teaspoon flaky salt; pulse into a paste. With motor running, slowly add oil. Add reserved water, a little at a time, until purée is thinned to desired consistency. Serve warm or room temperature.

Steps:

• Prepare a hot grill.
• Coat the fish fillets with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt.
• Thinly slice the squash lengthwise, using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, and combine with the kale in a large bowl. Drizzle a couple tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Season with salt.
• Place the prepared fish skin-side down on the grill. After about 4 minutes, or when the skin easily lifts off the grill, flip the fillets.
• While the fish is cooking, place the kale and squash on the grill and watch carefully. Turn the vegetables the moment they begin to show grill marks.
• Once they are charred on both sides, return the vegetables to the large bowl and toss with 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice and chili flakes.
• Remove the fish from the grill after about 4 minutes on its second side, and top with a spoonful of the chimichurri sauce. Serve with the grilled vegetables.
