Poached Bronzino In Herbed Red Wine Broth Recipes

Steps:

• For the mushrooms: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil to the pan and allow to heat until the verge of smoking. Then reduce the heat to medium and add the mushrooms. Allow the mushrooms to cook for 5 to 6 minutes, and then remove.
• For the fish: In a nonstick saute pan, add the grapeseed oil over medium heat for 1 minute. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, and then add the fish to the pan, flesh-side down. Cook for 2 minutes, flip the fish and turn the heat off. Allow the fish to finish with the residual heat for 2 minutes. Then remove the fish and allow to rest until serving.
• For the sauce: In the same pan, return to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the tomatoes with salt and pepper, add to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Then flip the tomatoes and add the wine to deglaze the pan. Next, add the lemon juice, parsley and garlic. Remove the tomatoes and arrange flat on a serving plate, end to end. Allow the sauce to reduce by half, yielding 1/2 cup. Once reduced, turn the heat off and stir in the butter to finish the sauce. Then place the fish over the tomatoes, arrange the mushrooms and spoon the sauce over the fish. Serve.

Steps:

• Have your fishmonger scale, gut and remove the fins and gills of two bronzino but leave the tail and head on the fish. Place the fish in a medium to large covered casserole dish.
• Prepare a poaching liquid by combining the red wine, water, salt and pepper. Add the onion, cilantro, dill, tarragon and apple to the fluid and pour over the fish. Cover the casserole and cook in an oven preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 45 minutes.
• Remove the sprigs of tarragon, cilantro and dill from the casserole. If desired, when serving, fresh sprigs of these may be used to garnish the plate.
• To serve hot, gently cut individual sections of the fish and serve in the broth along with the cooked onions and apple accompanied by a mound of steamed rice.
• To serve cold, carefully lift the fish out of the casserole and place on a large decorative serving platter. Lay out the apple and onion around the fish and pour the poaching liquid over the fish. Set this in the refrigerator overnight and leave undisturbed. Immediately prior to serving, carefully section the fish and garnish the platter with lemon wedges and additional cilantro, dill and tarragon. Serves 8 people.

Steps:

• Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and heat to the verge of smoking. Next, mix the salt and pepper evenly into the flour and coat both sides of each fillet of fish. Then add to the pan, cooking until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and repeat on the second side until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with each fillet, holding the cooked fillets warm, covered with foil on a plate, until serving. Additional oil may be needed during the process. After searing the fish, add the wine to the pan to deglaze. Allow the wine to reduce by half, 3 to 4 minutes, then add the stock and reduce by three-quarters volume, resulting in 1 cup sauce. This reduction will take 4 to 5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms, herbs and garlic. Stir and allow to finish, reducing by half again, a final 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter until creamy. Finish the fillets with the pan sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Put an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until brown and crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Set aside.
• Lay a piece of heavy-duty foil on a baking sheet. Spray the foil with vegetable oil cooking spray. Lay the fish fillets, skin side down on the foil in a single layer and season with salt and pepper, to taste. In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, fennel fronds and thyme. Spoon the mixture over the fish. Arrange the lemon and fennel slices on top of the fish and sprinkle with the cooked pancetta. Pour the wine on top. Lay another piece of foil on top and crimp the edges of both pieces to form a packet. Roast until the flesh is flaky and cooked through, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the top piece of foil. Put the cooked lemon slices and fennel on a platter. Carefully transfer the fish to the platter on top of the fennel and lemon slices. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Choose a pot large enough to submerge meat, fill it with water and bring it to a boil. Grind or mince together the oregano, thyme, bay leaf, basil and paprika. Rub meat all over with olive oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Rub herb mixture into meat and spread garlic all over it; it need not be too neat. Tightly wrap meat in a large piece of plastic wrap, rolling it up like a sausage and twisting ends to seal. Wrap package tightly in aluminum foil.
• Submerge meat in water, and cook for 12 minutes for medium-rare. (Check with an instant-read thermometer, which should show 120 degrees when meat is done.) Let rest for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile combine stock and wine in a small saucepan and cook until reduced to less than 1/2 cup. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unwrap meat (scissors will be helpful), slice and serve with sauce.
