GRILLED RED SNAPPER WITH ROASTED EGGPLANT AND PEPPERS



Grilled Red Snapper with Roasted Eggplant and Peppers image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 to 1 1/2 pounds tiny baby eggplant or purple Oriental eggplant, halved
2 to 3 fresh sweet red peppers, cored and quartered
1/3 cup pure olive oil, plus olive oil to brush on grill
2 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) whole red snappers*
8 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor barbecue grill with good charcoal briquets or wood chips stacked against one side of the grill and let them burn until ash white. Brush the grill lightly with olive oil, then brush the eggplant and peppers lightly with the oil. Place them skin-side down on the opposite side of the grill -- not over direct heat. Roast 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until well grilled and cooked. Remove to a warm platter and reserve while grilling the fish.
  • Brush the outside of each fish with olive oil. Fill the cavity of each fish with 2 sprigs of rosemary. Rub the garlic on the outside of the fish. Season with salt and pepper, and grill the fish in the same indirect manner 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
  • Meanwhile, remove the leaves from the remaining 4 sprigs of rosemary. Discard the stems, coarsely chop the leaves and reserve.
  • Remove the fish to second platter and cool 5 or 6 minutes. Because the fish has already been cooked, it can be filleted easily by running a sharp knife along the dorsal fin and lifting the fillet away from the bones using two forks to tease it free gently. Place the first fillet on a serving plate, turn over the fish, and repeat the filleting process for the second side.
  • Serve 1 fish fillet to each person, accompanied with the grilled vegetables. Drizzle each serving with some of the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with the chopped rosemary. *If you substitute fillets for whole fish, keep in mind that they can be tricky to grill and that they cook in half the time.

Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing eggplant
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 pound long fusilli pasta
Grated Pecorino cheese
Fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped

Cool the eggplant until easy to handle, then scoop the flesh away from skins and add to a food processor with roasted garlic and roasted sweet and hot peppers, then puree.
  • In saucepan, heat the stock and tomatoes. If the tomatoes are whole, break them up. Stir in the eggplant-pepper mixture and add basil and oregano, salt, and pepper, to taste.
  • Simmer sauce to combine flavors then cool and store for make-ahead meal.
  • Reheat over medium heat.
  • Boil long, curly pasta in salted water to al dente, toss the pasta with sauce and serve with cheese and a sprinkle fresh parsley.

RED SNAPPER WITH EGGPLANT AND TOMATO



Red Snapper With Eggplant and Tomato image

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more if needed
1 large onion, peeled and diced
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 1/2 pounds red snapper fillets, deboned, with skin on one side, cut into 8 rectangular slices

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, place 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and the onion, cover the pan, and sweat the onion for about 10 minutes. Then, add the tomatoes, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the honey and 1 additional tablespoon of the oil. Simmer, uncovered, over medium heat for 15 minutes, until much of the liquid has evaporated. Discard the bay leaf, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Puree in a food processor, and then put through a fine sieve.
  • Heat 2 more tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick pan, and fry the eggplant until the rounds are golden brown on both sides. Repeat until all the eggplant has been cooked, adding more oil, if needed, for each new batch. Drain on paper towels; season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of vinegar to the pan, and stir for 1 minute over high heat to deglaze the pan. Spoon the liquid over the eggplant.
  • Clean the nonstick pan. Working very carefully with the fish fillets, salt and pepper them on both sides. Place the fillets in the pan, and over medium heat fry them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • For each serving, place the tomato sauce in the middle of the plate, top with several rounds of the eggplant and then, carefully, with 2 fish fillets, skin side up. Serve warm.
