Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 main course servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
7 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped celery (with leaves)
1 pound vine ripened plum or round tomatoes, halved, seeds squeezed out, and diced
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted and roughly chopped
2 tablespoons capers
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
Four 8-ounce center-cut bluefish fillets, skin-on
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the compote. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeno, and celery, season with pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, and capers and cook, stirring, until hot, about 2 minutes more.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley. Set aside covered with foil to keep warm.
  • Place a rack 5 inches from the broiler element and preheat.
  • Prepare the fish. Using a sharp knife, slash the bluefish skin to form cross-hatch marks. Transfer the fillets to a foil-lined baking sheet and brush all over with the oil. Season with salt and generously with pepper. Broil the fish skin-side down, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. (If the skin comes loose during cooking, you may remove and discard it.)
  • Using a metal spatula, transfer the fillets to 4 warmed plates and top with the compote. Serve immediately.

SARAH'S FETA RICE PILAF



Sarah's Feta Rice Pilaf image

Rice and orzo pasta merge with the flavors of onion and garlic to create this versatile side dish. Bulgarian feta gives the dish a decadent creaminess while spinach adds beautiful color. You can get Bulgarian feta cheese at most international grocery stores. Bulgarian feta is creamier than the Greek version which tends to be very dry.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds small red or baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved
4 pieces beef tenderloin, 1 1/2 inches thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, plus 1 tablespoon
Sprinkle all-purpose flour
1 large sheet frozen puff pastry dough, defrosted (recommended: Du Four)
1 bundle watercress, chopped
8 ounces blue cheese get a drier blue that will crumble easily
1 egg beaten with a splash of water
2 vine-ripe tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup Caesar style or garlic flavor large croutons, crushed or processed into crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley leaves
1 large bundle broccolini, trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Put the potatoes in a sauce pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender.
  • Meanwhile, pat the meat dry and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle a little oil into medium skillet and wipe it around with a folded paper towel. Add the beef and brown over medium heat, until it becomes a deep reddish brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the beef and brown for about 2 minutes more. Turn off the heat, then remove the meat to a plate and reserve.
  • Sprinkle flour on work surface and roll out dough a little, then cut into 4 pieces. Pile a little watercress on each piece of dough, top with crumbles of cheese and some meat. Wrap the dough around the filling and cut a small vent in the top of each parcel. Cover a baking sheet with parchment, arrange the parcels on the baking sheet and brush them with the egg wash, using a pastry brush. Bake until deep golden, about 12 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the parcels rest.
  • While the parcels bake, bring a couple of inches of water, in a deep-sided skillet, to a boil over medium heat for the broccolini.
  • Put the broiler on high.
  • Arrange the tomatoes on small baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the crouton crumbs with half of the parsley in a small bowl. Sprinkle the crumbs on the tomatoes and drizzle with a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil. When the broiler is hot, put the tomatoes in the center of oven and broil until bubbly and the crumbs are brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Salt the boiling water and add the broccolini spears. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then drain.
  • Drain potatoes and put them back into the hot pot with the butter, the dill and the remaining parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine.
  • Serve each beef parcel on plates with a broiled tomato half, a few potatoes and a couple of spears of broccolini.
