COD STEAKS ON A BED OF CREAMY LEEKS, POTATO AND BACON



Cod Steaks on a Bed of Creamy Leeks, Potato and Bacon image

This dish was inspired by papet vaudois, a typical dish from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, which has a big fat sausage on the top instead of cod steaks and no bacon. I haven't tried this yet but wanted to save here for safekeeping. I got this from www.jill.net

Time 49m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cod steaks, about 1 inch thick
500 g leeks, prepared weight, cut into rounds
1 onion, chopped
3 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
5 slices bacon, chopped
100 ml stock
100 ml white wine
3 tablespoons cream
flour (for dredging)
butter, oil
2 wedges lemons

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon over a medium heat with no extra fat until it's starting to go crispy and lots of fat has run off into the pan.
  • Add the leeks and onion, stir them around and cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Throw in the potatoes, stock and wine, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, wash and dry the cod steaks, and dredge them in flour with salt and pepper.
  • When the leeks have had their 20 minutes, melt some butter in a non-stick frying pan with a little bit of oil. When it's hot, put in the cod steaks and cook them over a medium-high heat for five minutes on each side. Keep cooking the leeks in the meantime.
  • Just before serving, stir a few tablespoons of cream into the leeks and check the seasoning.
  • Pile the creamy leeks onto the plates, and pop the cod steaks on top with a wedge of lemon.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Cod     Poach     Dinner     Healthy     Fish     Milk/Cream     Potato     Leek     Garlic     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 medium leeks, white and pale-greens parts only, halved lengthwise, with some root attached
4 sprigs thyme
2 garlic cloves, smashed
3 cups whole milk
4 (6-ounce) skinless cod fillets
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot and add cold water to cover by 1"; season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Return potatoes to pot; add 2 Tbsp. cooking liquid and 2 Tbsp. oil and lightly mash. Season with salt. Keep potatoes warm over low heat until ready to serve.
  • Combine leeks, thyme, garlic, and milk in a medium wide saucepan. Season generously with salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until leeks are just beginning to soften, 6-8 minutes. Gently slide cod into infused milk and poach until flesh is cooked through and beginning to flake, 7-9 minutes (adjust heat as needed to maintain a low simmer; thicker pieces of fish will take longer to cook).
  • Divide warm potatoes, leeks, and cod among shallow bowls. Spoon some poaching liquid over each. Drizzle with oil; season with pepper.

  • Serve the cod steaks with a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce will help to balance the delicate flavor of the cod steaks. A good option is to make a sauce using heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and fresh herbs.
