Time 52m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
1 celery stalk, chopped
8 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, with juices
10 pitted kalamata olives, halved
3 tablespoons raisins
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
4 (4 to 5-ounce) center-cut halibut fillets, about 1-inch thick
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the caponata: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the celery and artichoke hearts and cook until soft and the artichokes are lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and raisins to the pan. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 25 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, sugar, and capers and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • For the halibut: Place a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. (If not using a nonstick grill pan, lightly oil the pan before grilling the fish. The halibut can also be roasted for 10 to 12 minutes in a pre-heated 400 degrees F oven.)
  • Drizzle the halibut on both sides with olive oil. Season on both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until the flesh flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
  • Arrange the halibut on a serving platter and top with the caponata. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

For tomato sauce:
35-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, drained
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
For vegetables:
6 ounce large green olives with pits (20)
3 lemons
2 pounds baby artichokes, about 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches (20)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 celery ribs, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Make tomato sauce:
  • Crush tomatoes in a bowl with your hand. Cook garlic in oil in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan over low heat, turning occasionally, until pale golden, about 10 minutes. Discard garlic. Stir in tomatoes, sugar, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer vigorously, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced to a thick pulp, about 20 minutes.
  • Prepare vegetables:
  • Smash olives with a meat pounder or flat side of a large knife. Remove pits. Soak olives 30 minutes in cold water, changing water every 10 minutes. Drain. Juice 2 lemons into a large bowl half filled with cold water and add lemon halves. Working with 1 artichoke at a time and running knife through remaining lemon before each cut, trim about ‚ inch from tops and cut off stems. Pull off tough outer leaves and quarter artichokes lengthwise. Put them in lemon water as trimmed.
  • Drain artichokes well and pat dry. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over moderately high heat, then sauté artichokes, stirring, 2 minutes. Add salt to taste and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes. While artichokes cook, blanch celery in boiling water 2 minutes and transfer with tongs to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Thinly slice.
  • Add celery, olives, and capers to artichokes. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot. Stir in vinegar and cook 1 minute. Add tomato sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve at room temperature with a few grindings of black pepper.
