COD WITH SWISS CHARD, OLIVES, AND LEMON



Cod With Swiss Chard, Olives, and Lemon image

This recipe, adapted from the 1/2013 issue of Bon Appetit, uses sieved and chopped lemon instead of just the usual juice. Simmering the whole fruit softens the texture and removes any bitterness in the pith.

Categories     Chard

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon, stem removed
1/4 teaspoon coriander seed
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 four-ounce pieces cod fish fillets, preferably with skin on
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
2 large bunch swiss chard, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons oil-cured black olives, pitted, sliced
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted (optional, for garnish)

Steps:

  • Place lemon in a small saucepan; add water just to cover. Place a small heatproof plate inside the saucepan, on top of the lemon, to keep it submerged. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until lemon is very tender when pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain. Cut lemon in half and let it cool.
  • Scoop out the pulp from both lemon halves and press pulp through a coarse-mesh sieve into a small bowl; discard any solids remaining in the sieve. Finely chop the peel and pith and add to pulp. Set aside.
  • Toast coriander and cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until slightly darkened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Coarsely grind the toasted coriander and cumin seeds in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season fish with spice mixture, salt, and pepper; place skin side down in skillet. Cook until browned and crisp, 5-6 minutes. Turn and cook until just opaque in the center, 2-4 minutes more. Be more cautious cooking the fish if it is skinless, as you do not want the unprotected flesh itself to be brown and crisp; you could also bake or broil the fish if it is skinless.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chard by the handful, tossing and allowing it to wilt slightly between additions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until all chard is tender, 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
  • Mix the sliced olives and the reserved lemon mixture into the cooked chard. Season with salt, pepper, and more crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve fish with the chard.

Categories     Olive     Onion     Potato     Roast     Sauté     Cod     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4 with enough for the cannelloni

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound (about 3) onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 large garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 pound (about 2 large) boiling potatoes
3/4 cup Kalamata or other brine-cured black olives
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
a 2 1/2-pound piece of center-cut cod fillet

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a large skillet cook the onions and the garlic in the olive oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is pale golden. While the onion mixture is cooking, in another large skillet heat the vegetable oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices, in batches, turning them, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are pale golden, transferring them as they are cooked to a bowl. Add the onion mixture to the potatoes with the olives, the rosemary, the parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well.
  • Put the cod in the center of a large shallow baking dish, season it with salt and pepper, and arrange the potato mixture around it. Roast the mixture in the middle of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the fish just flakes. Flake 2 cups of the cod and reserve it, covered and chilled, for making the cod cannelloni.

2 1/2 pound Swiss chard, washed well, the coarse stems removed and chopped coarse, and the leaves chopped coarse separately
1 red bell pepper, roasted and chopped coarse
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To roast peppers:
  • Using a long-handled fork char the peppers over an open flame, turning them, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the skins are blackened. (Or broil the peppers on the rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat, turning them every 5 minutes, for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the skins are blistered and charred.) Transfer the peppers to a bowl and let them steam, covered, until they are cool enough to handle. Peel them starting at the blossom end, cut off the tops, and discard the seeds and ribs.
  • In a kettle cook the chard stems in about 1/2 cup water, covered, over high heat for 5 minutes, add the chard leaves, and cook the chard, covered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Drain the chard well and in a bowl toss it with the roasted pepper, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the chard mixture, covered and chilled,, for making the cod cannelloni.

COD CANNELLONI WITH SWISS CHARD AND ROASTED PEPPER



Cod Cannelloni with Swiss Chard and Roasted Pepper image

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups Spicy Tomato Sauce
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
4 large square or 8 small rectangular sheets of instant (no-boil) lasagne
2 cups flaked cooked cod (such as from Roast Cod with Potatoes, Onions and Olives
1 1/2 cups Swiss Chard with Roasted Pepper
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves plus basil sprigs for garnish
Freshly grated Parmesan as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the tomato sauce in the bottoms of 4 individual gratin dishes or in the bottom of a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold 8 cannelloni in one layer. In a saucepan melt the butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the milk in a stream, whisking, simmer the béchamel, whisking constantly, for 2 minutes, and season it with salt and pepper. Transfer the béchamel to a bowl and let it cool, covered. In a pan of hot water let the sheets of lasagne soak for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are softened. To the béchamel add the cod, the Swiss chard with roasted pepper, the chopped basil, and salt and pepper to taste and combine the mixture well.
  • If using the square lasagne sheets halve each sheet to form 2 rectangles. Working with 1 rectangle at a time, spread about 1/3 cup of the cod mixture lengthwise down the center of each sheet, beginning with a long side roll up the sheet to enclose the filling, leaving both ends open, and arrange 2 cannelloni, seam sides down, in each dish, spooning some of the tomato sauce over them. Bake the cannelloni, covered with foil, in the middle of the oven for 230 to 25 minutes, or until they are heated through, garnish them with the basil sprigs, and serve them with the Parmesan.
