Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 dozen littleneck clams, washed, open ones discarded
1 cup fish stock, canned clam juice or clam and tomato juice
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 extra large eggs
Vinegar for poaching
4 chunks grilled bread

Steps:

  • In a large pot with a lid, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onion and cook over medium heat until it sweats. Add the garlic, and cook an additional minute. Add the wine and clams, turn up the heat and cook covered until clams open. Remove the clams. Add stock and pepper flakes and bring to a boil. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and flour. Add the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
  • To poach the eggs: Fill a large skillet full of water and a few drops of vinegar and bring to a boil. Break the eggs into individual cups and add one at a time to the water. Using a slotted spoon, wrap the whites around the yolks. Cook until done, about 4 minutes.
  • Spoon some sauce into four shallow bowls, then rim each with the clams. Place a poached egg in the center of each. Serve with chunks of grilled bread.

FISH FILLET WITH CLAM SAUCE

Categories     main-dish

Time 57m

Yield 4 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (1 -- pound) flat fish such as sole, flounder, sand dab, or fluke
1 cup dry white wine
2 shallots or 1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 pound mussels, preferably small cultivated, scrubbed and beards removed, or 24 littleneck or Manila clams, scrubbed
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon beurre manie (11/2teaspoons butter worked to a paste with 11/2 teaspoons flour
1/2 cup heavy cream or
1/4 cup garlic, potato, asparagus, or sorrel puree

Steps:

  • Depending on what kind of flatfish you're using, either remove the top dark skin by pulling it off or cutting it off with a sharp knife or -- if the skin is relatively thin- leave it attached or scale it. Scrape the bottom white side to remove any scales and remove the sharp fins with scissors. (Or ask your fishmonger to do all of this.) Rinse the fish in cold water.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a 4-quart pot, bring the wine to a simmer with the shallots. Add the mussels or clams, cover, and steam until they open -- about 7 minutes for mussels, 12 minutes for clams. Take the mussels or clams out of their shells, discard the shells, and reserve the meats. If the shellfish-steaming liquid is sandy, pour it slowly and carefully into a bowl, leaving the sand behind. Arrange the flatfish- dark skin side up- in a buttered or oiled dish that closely fits it and pour on the shellfish- cooking liquid. There should be enough liquid to come halfway up the sides of the fish. If there isn't, add some water or fish broth. Place the containers with the fish on the stove over medium heat until the liquid comes to a simmer. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and slide the fish into the oven . Braise for 5 to 12 minutes per inch of thickness. Carefully transfer the fish to individual platters or plates using a large spatula. Keep the fish warm while you're preparing the sauce. Strain the cooking liquid into a 2- quart saucepan and cook it down over high heat until 1/2 cup remains. Thicken the sauce by whisking in any optional thickeners and bringing it to a quick simmer. Once the sauce is thickened, add the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently reheat the mussels or clams in the sauce -- don't let it boil -- and spoon the sauce and the mussels or clams over each fish.

HUEVOS CON CHORIZO



Huevos con Chorizo image

The name pretty much says it all: This is a simple breakfast dish of eggs scrambled with chorizo. As with most simple dishes, the quality of ingredients really matters, so try to find good -- in this case, fatty and spicy -- chorizo to carry the dish. The amount of fat it renders while frying will determine how much extra oil you'll need to add. Mexican chorizo is sold either loose or in links; if yours is the latter, remove it from the casing to fry.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 jalapeno, diced (seeded if desired)
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped (reserve some for garnish)
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed
1 small white onion, finely chopped
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Eight 6-inch flour tortillas, warmed, for serving
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced

Steps:

  • For the pico de gallo: Combine the tomatoes, jalapeno, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • For the eggs: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up the meat into big chunks, until well-browned, about 4 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender (reduce the heat if the onion browns too quickly), about 3 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl until frothy. Stir the butter into the skillet. When it has just melted, pour the eggs over the chorizo and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until they are just set. Garnish with the reserved cilantro and serve with the tortillas, avocado and pico de gallo.
