TROUT AMANDINE, STEAMED ASPARAGUS, AND NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Place oven on low and rest a platter on an oven rack.
• Add potatoes to a deep pot of boiling water; just enough to cover potatoes. Salt water and add potato halves. The potatoes will cook for about 12 minutes for fork tender.
• Hold asparagus spears at each end. Snap asparagus tips from tough ends by bending spears. Place spears in a colander. Rest colander on top of the potato pot and place a cover over the colander. The asparagus will steam while the potatoes cook. Do this the last 5 or 6 minutes that the potatoes are cooking.
• Potatoes will be just about done when the last of your trout is going into the skillet (method follows.) When the potatoes are tender, take a minute to drain them and return them to warm pot. Leave asparagus covered and set aside. Dress potatoes with chives, a drizzle of olive oil and a little salt. Leave in warm pot until trout is on the table, then transfer to a serving bowl.
• Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Combine egg and milk in a tin pie plate, beat with a fork. Place a cup of flour in a second pie tin and season well with salt and sparingly with pepper. Coat trout fillets in egg and milk, then in seasoned flour. Collect fillets on a plate until all of them are dredged and ready to be cooked.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to your skillet, half a turn of the pan in a slow stream. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter foams, add trout and gently saute 4 fillets for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer trout fillets to warm platter in oven.
• Return pan to the stove and add 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. When butter foams, repeat cooking process. When all of the trout is cooked, add last tablespoon of butter to the pan. When the butter melts, add almonds and brown until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

MASHED POTATOES AND STEAMED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• You can boil the potatoes and steam the beans at the same time. Start with the potatoes: put them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender when you stick a fork in them, about 30 minutes. At the same time, combine the cream and butter in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• While the potatoes are cooking, start on the beans. Break the beans in half and put them in a colander large enough to fit over the pot the potatoes are cooking in; set aside. Now heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pan, crushing them in your hand as you do so, to break them up. Stir in the sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until thickened, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• When the potatoes have cooked about 20 minutes, put the colander over the pot and cover the whole thing with aluminum foil. Continue cooking until the beans are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the colander from pot and dump the beans into the pan with the tomato sauce; fold in the beans and season with salt and pepper.
• Now drain the potatoes in the same colander and dump them back into the pot. While the potatoes are still hot, pour in the warm cream and butter and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Season with salt and pepper.

Shake again and continue to cook for 5 more minutes. (The instructions say to cook 14 minutes, but I add an additional 5 minutes.) Open bag (careful, it's steamy) and pour potatoes into serving bowl, add cheeses and butter, carefully - so as not to mash potatoes - mix to melt cheeses and butter into potatoes. Top with bacon pieces, sour cream or your choice of toppings.

If I'm cooking corn, broccoli, etc. for that particular meal, I'll re-use the same bag and steam that, too.
