Time 50m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound tiny new potatoes
1/2 pound onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 1/2 pounds field-ripened tomatoes
Fresh thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 ears corn
1/2 cup dry white wine
10 ounces scrod or other firm-fleshed fish fillet
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes and cook in water to cover in covered pot, about 10 minutes, until tender.
  • Coarsely chop onion and saute in hot oil in a nonstick skillet.
  • Wash, trim and cut tomatoes in half. Squeeze out seeds. Roughly cut tomatoes. When onions begin to soften, stir in tomatoes.
  • Wash and chop enough thyme to make 1 tablespoon, and stir it into tomatoes with the cumin.
  • Shuck corn and remove kernels from cob with small, sharp knife. Stir into vegetables with wine, and continue to cook.
  • Wash fish and cut into large chunks. Arrange in skillet under the vegetables and cook 5 to 7 minutes, depending on thickness of fish.
  • When potatoes are cooked, drain and cut into bite-size chunks. Stir them into the skillet. Season with optional salt and with pepper, and serve. The potatoes are good mashed into the juices in the dish.
