STEAMED COD WITH FAVAS AND AIOLI

Steamed Cod With Favas and Aioli image

This delightful combination was a result of having enough leftover uncooked cod, aioli and cooked shelled favas for one person (me) the day after I'd made a fish soup for a dinner party. Now I think I might serve the improvised dish at my next dinner party.

Ingredients

1 to 1 1/2 pounds cod fillets or pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds fava beans, shelled and skinned
1/3 cup aioli

Steps:

Season the cod with salt and pepper. Place in a steamer over an inch of boiling water, cover and steam the cod for 5 minutes, or until it flakes easily. Remove from the heat.
Warm the favas. If using whole fillets of fish, break them into smaller pieces and toss with the favas and aioli in a bowl. Serve right away. You can also serve the fish without breaking it up and the favas on the side, spooning on the aioli, but I like everything tossed together.
