Provided by Stephanie Manley

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ounces fish
6 ounces unsalted butter ((divided use))
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely diced shallots
finely chopped fresh herbs such as chives - optional

Steps:

Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped shallots and cook until they are translucent. Make sure that the butter does not brown. Add lemon juice and remaining butter.
When the butter has melted, add the fish. Gently place the fish into the pan. The cooking liquid should cover the fish 2/3 up the side of the fish. Turn the temperature high and allow the fish to cook for three minutes once the cooking liquid begins to boil. Turn the heat down and allow to cook on low for an additional minute.
Finish the recipe with a touch of sea salt!

Simple Braised Leeks image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 small leeks
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
Finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, for serving

Steps:

Remove outer leaves; cut dark-green ends from leeks. Trim roots, keeping leaves attached. Halve lengthwise; rinse to remove grit.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks to pan and arrange cut side down in a single layer. Cook until softened and light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn leeks and cook on the other side until softened, 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Turn the leeks again so they are cut side down and peel off any papery outer layers. Add stock and wine, stirring to deglaze pan. Cook for 1 minute. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover with a parchment paper round. Cook until the leeks are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.
Remove parchment, raise heat, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse salt and parsley; serve.

Braised Butternut Squash in Spiced Coconut Gravy image

Provided by Rachel Gurjar

Time 40m

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 small butternut squash (about 1½ lb.), scrubbed, quartered lengthwise, seeds removed
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
1 (½") piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
2 (13.5-oz.) cans unsweetened coconut milk
1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 Tbsp. Kashmiri chile powder or paprika
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ tsp. ground turmeric
¼ cup slivered almonds
1 lime, halved
Cilantro leaves with tender stems (for serving)
Steamed rice (for serving; optional)

Steps:

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook squash, a cut side down, until browned underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn onto other cut sides and cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add shallots, garlic, and ginger to same skillet. Cook, stirring often, until translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, salt, chile powder, cayenne, and turmeric. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low; return squash to skillet and spoon some sauce over. Cover and cook until squash is fork-tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast almonds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
Remove squash from heat, uncover, and squeeze lime juice over. (If oil starts to separate from sauce while squash sits, gently whisk to emulsify before serving.) Top with almonds and cilantro. Serve with rice if desired.
