Tomato Braised Cod And Mussels Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, fennel and a pinch each of salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender and just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic, oregano, olives and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook until almost completely evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Generously season the cod with salt and pepper and nestle in the sauce. Cover and cook until the fish is mostly cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the fish finish cooking in the sauce, about 3 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the ciabatta with olive oil and broil until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Rub with the smashed garlic.
• Divide the sauce and fish among shallow bowls; drizzle with olive oil. Top with fennel fronds and serve with the ciabatta.

Steps:

• Make the harissa: In a blender or small food processor, place roasted pepper, garlic, paprika, cumin, caraway, cayenne and salt. Add 1/2 cup oil and pulse briefly to a smooth purée, making sure not to overprocess. Transfer to a bowl. (Alternatively, finely chop the roasted pepper by hand, and mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.) Set aside.
• Season fish chunks on both sides with salt and pepper, and place in a bowl. Add garlic, shallot, cumin, coriander, lemon juice, chopped cilantro and red-pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly and leave to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Set a Dutch oven or wide heavy pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is wavy, add fish chunks in one layer and let sizzle for 1 minute. Add bay leaves and tomato (and any remaining marinade) plus 1 cup water, and bring to a brisk simmer. Set mussels on top of fish chunks and cover pot. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, until mussels have opened. Turn off heat and leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.
• Divide seafood among deep plates or low soup bowls. Ladle juices from pot over each serving. Dollop each serving with about 2 tablespoons harissa. Garnish with cilantro sprigs. Pass more harissa at the table.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil, onion, and bell peppers in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook gently until softened, stirring occasionally, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour in ouzo and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing alcohol to evaporate. Add plum tomatoes and lightly crush with the back of a spoon until broken apart. Add water and mint, then season with salt and pepper. Simmer gently until sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high. Nestle cod fillets in the sauce and spoon some sauce over top. Cook, turning once halfway through, until fish flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat a large, non-stick if you have it, skillet on medium high, add oil and heat until shimmering, but not smoking.
• Add mushrooms & peppers to pan, season and cook, stirring occasionally, until all liquid is released and cooked off.
• Add more oil if needed,.
• Add shallot and garlic, heat for a minute or so until fragrant.
• Add tomato paste and dried herbs and tomatoes, cook for a minute or so then then add wine, scrape the pan and turn down the heat.
• Add the fish and cover, allow to simmer for a few minutes before adding the mussels. Cover and continue to simmer until fish and mussels are done. About 8-10 minutes total.
• Plate mussels and fish, remove the bay leaf, turn up the heat, add butter and sage, stirring until sauce starts to thicken. Pour Sauce over fish and serve with roasted vegetables or pasta.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, add 1 chopped onion, then fry for 5-8 mins until lightly browned.
• Stir in a 400g can chopped tomatoes, 1 heaped tsp light soft brown sugar, the leaves from a few sprigs of thyme and 1 tbsp soy sauce, then bring to the boil.
• Simmer 5 mins, then slip 4 cod fillets into the sauce.
• Cover and gently cook for 8-10 mins until the cod flakes easily. Serve with baked or steamed potatoes.

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes in a heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water, leave for 3 mins, then drain and peel. Quarter the tomatoes and scoop out and discard the seeds using a teaspoon. Roughly chop the tomato flesh.
• Heat the oil in a large pan with a tight- fitting lid. Add the garlic, shallot and chilli, then gently fry for 2-3 mins until softened. Pour in the wine and add the tomatoes, paste, sugar and seasoning (mussels are naturally salty so take care with the salt). Stir well and simmer for 2 mins.
• Tip in the mussels and give them a stir. Cover tightly and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan halfway through, until the shells have opened.
• Discard any shells that remain shut, then divide the mussels between two bowls and add the basil leaves. Provide a large bowl for the empty shells.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the peppers, onions, tomatoes and olives into a large, deep baking tray and cook for 15 mins until they start to soften and char at the edges.
• Stir in the passata, butter beans and seasoning, then make 4 little areas and nestle in the cod. Return to the oven and cook for a further 15 mins until the cod is cooked through. Sprinkle over the basil and serve with crusty bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Simmer until cod begins to feel firm when you press it with your finger and it starts to flake, about 4 minutes. Divide cod, tomatoes, and broth among four soup plates. Garnish with parsley, and serve.
