CREAMY COD CHOWDER STEW



Creamy cod chowder stew image

This fish one-pot with smoked haddock and cod may taste rich, but is actually low-fat and low-calorie - a quick and easy weeknight dinner

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g floury potatoes , cubed
200g parsnips , cubed
140g skinless cod fillet
140g skinless undyed smoked haddock fillets
500ml semi-skimmed milk
¼ small pack parsley , leaves finely chopped, stalks reserved
6 spring onions , whites and greens separated, both finely chopped
2 tbsp plain flour
zest and juice 1 lemon
2 tbsp chopped parsley
crusty wholemeal bread , to serve

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the potato and parsnips, and boil until almost tender - about 4 mins. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, put the fish in a pan where they will fit snugly but not on top of each other. Cover with the milk, poke in the parsley stalks and bring the milk to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan, turn off the heat and leave to sit in the milk for 5 mins. Lift the fish out and break into large chunks. Discard the parsley stalks but keep the milk.
  • Put the spring onion whites, milk and flour in a saucepan together. Bring to a simmer, whisking continuously, until the sauce has thickened and become smooth. Turn the heat down, add the drained potatoes and parsnips, the lemon zest and half the juice, and cook gently for 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Stir in the spring onion greens, fish and parsley, and taste for seasoning - it will need plenty of pepper, some salt and maybe more lemon juice from the leftover half. Divide between two shallow bowls, serve with chunks of crusty bread and enjoy.

MEDITERRANEAN FISH CHOWDER WITH POTATOES AND KALE



Mediterranean Fish Chowder With Potatoes and Kale image

This brothy fish stew gets extra body and heft from the kale and potatoes, and a hint of the Mediterranean from thyme, parsley and bay leaf. The method is straightforward. First make a mirepoix of onion, celery and carrot. Add garlic, anchovies and parsley, followed by the tomatoes and paste, and finally the potatoes and bouquet garni. Simmer for 30 minutes while the kale is cooked separately, then add the fish. Take care not to overcook the fish - it's done as soon as it flakes easily when you nudge it with a fork.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
Salt to taste
2 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
4 anchovy fillets, soaked in water for 4 minutes, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 (28-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, with liquid
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 quart water
1 pound fingerling or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and sliced
A bouquet garni made with a bay leaf, a strip of orange zest, a couple of sprigs each thyme and parsley, and a dried red chili if desired, tied together with a string
Generous pinch of saffron (optional)
Freshly ground pepper
1 bunch (10 to 12 ounces) black kale, stemmed and washed thoroughly in 2 changes of water
1 1/2 pounds firm, white-fleshed fish, like halibut, tilapia, Pacific cod or black cod, cut in 2- or 3-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and add the onion, celery and carrot. Cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
  • Add a generous pinch of salt and stir in the garlic, anchovies and chopped parsley. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is very fragrant, another minute or two, and add the tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down a bit and the mixture smells aromatic, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the water, potatoes, salt to taste and the bouquet garni, and bring to a simmer. Add the saffron, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Taste, adjust salt and add pepper to taste. Remove the bouquet garni.
  • While the soup is simmering, bring a medium pot of water to a boil, salt generously and add the kale. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still colorful. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely and set aside.
  • Shortly before serving, season the fish with salt and pepper and stir into the soup, along with the kale. The soup should not be boiling vigorously. Simmer 5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillets), or just until the fish flakes easily when poked. Remove from the heat, taste once more and adjust seasonings, and serve.

ROASTED COD AND POTATOES



Roasted Cod and Potatoes image

When one of my daughters, Emma, was young, there was a time when her main passion in life was potatoes, especially crispy ones. For one special occasion, I produced a classic French dish, potatoes Anna, in which potatoes are thin-sliced, drenched in butter, carefully layered and roasted until golden. This was an error, of course; potatoes Anna is a pain to make. Naturally, the demand was unrelenting thereafter. So, in an attempt to make the effort more rational, I cut down on the butter, cut short the preparation time by enlisting the aid of the broiler during the last few minutes of cooking, and decided to turn this one dish into something approaching an entire meal. In the last few minutes, before the potatoes were cooked through, I placed a thick fillet of fish on top of the potatoes. The result is a simple weeknight dish that I now make routinely, and one that even seems to impress the occasional guest.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 or 5 medium potatoes, 2 pounds or more
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds cod or other fillets, about 1-inch thick (skinned), in 2 or more pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel potatoes, and cut them into slices about 1/8-inch thick (a mandoline comes in handy here). Toss the potatoes in an 8-by-12-inch or similar size baking pan with 4 tablespoons of the oil or butter. Season the potatoes liberally, spread them evenly and place the pan in the oven.
  • Cook for about 40 minutes, checking once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a thin-bladed knife and have begun to brown on top. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Turn on the broiler, and adjust the rack so that it is 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Top the potatoes with the fish, drizzle with the remaining oil or butter and sprinkle with some more salt and pepper. Broil until the fish is done, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on its thickness (a thin-bladed knife will pass through it easily). If at any point the top of the potatoes begins to burn, move the pan a couple of inches farther away from the heat source.

Tips:
