Scrod Topped With Zucchini Corn And Olives Recipes

Steps:

• Chop whole onion. Heat a nonstick pan large enough to hold all the ingredients until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high.
• Add oil, and saute onion until it softens and begins to brown.
• Slice garlic, and add to onion as it cooks.
• Wash, trim and cut zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes; add to onion, and saute a minute or two. Wash and cube tomatoes, and along with the tomato paste, add to pan.
• Pit olives and add. Add oregano along with the wine.
• Wash scrod, place in the pan, and using a spoon, cover with the ingredients. Cover the pan, and cook the scrod according to the Canadian rule: Measure the fish at thickest part, and cook 8 minutes for each inch.
• Two minutes before the scrod is ready, add the corn, continue cooking, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• In a large bowl gently stir together tomatoes, onion, garlic paste, vinegar, and 1/4 cup oil

Transfer zucchini as grilled to a small bowl.
• In a kettle of salted boiling water cook pasta until just tender and drain well. Add hot pasta to tomato mixture and toss well. Cool pasta slightly and stir in zucchini, olives, cheese, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Pasta may be made 4 hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature.

Add 3 cups water and corncobs and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until chowder thickens slightly, about 8 minutes. Discard cobs and season with salt and pepper.
