Cod Flan With Onion Compote Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place the fish in a large colander and rinse under cold running water. Place in a large non-reactive baking dish, and make 5 horizontal 3-inch slits on each side. Season the fish on both sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, toss together the sliced tomatoes, onions, garlic, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside until needed.
• Place the fish, skin side down, in a roasting pan. Thickly coat the top side of the fish with the olive spread. Layer the tomatoes and cilantro flat on top of the tapenade like scales, then top with the onions and garlic. Place the fish in the oven and bake until the juices run clear and the onions are beginning to crisp and slightly blacken along the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Place the fish on a platter and serve, garnished with cilantro sprigs.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine all the ingredients and puree. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and set aside until needed, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker, add the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, honey, vinegar, herbs and red-pepper flakes (if using), and stir to combine. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and a few generous grinds of pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours, until the tomatoes are wrinkled, sweet and very soft, and some have burst. Remove the herb sprigs and squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste, and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan. Add the red peppers, onions, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove and drain the excess oil.
• Put the mixture in a food processor or blender. Add the lemon juice and water and chop coarsely. Set aside.
• Put the pieces of fish on a flat surface and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Dip the pieces in flour, coat well on all sides and shake off the excess flour.
• Heat the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat in a nonstick skillet. Add the pieces of fish. Cook and brown both sides for five minutes. Add the garlic and the reserved pepper and onion mixture. Cover and cook for five more minutes. Serve very hot.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium heat combine onions and honey.
• Cook slowly until caramelized, about 45 minutes.
• Add vinegar and stir.
• Add water and reduce to low heat.
• Cook uncovered until liquid has been absorbed.
• Onions are done when they are tender, have melted together,and are moist but not wet.
• (More liquid and cooking time may be needed.) Whisk in butter.

• Let cool and store in a mason jar.
• When ready to use, reheat the compote over low heat and adjust seasoning.
• Onion compote will keep refrigerated for at least a month.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Finely grate zest from lemons; set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut peel and white pith from lemons; discard. Working over a medium bowl, cut between membranes to release segments into bowl and squeeze membranes to release juices; discard membranes and any seeds. Set lemon segments aside.
• Combine onion and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Let sit 10 minutes. Squeeze onion to remove any excess liquid; add to bowl with lemon segments. Add olives, capers, reserved lemon zest, and 3/4 cup oil; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cover relish and chill at least 4 hours.
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Bring relish to room temperature.
• Place cod in a large shallow baking dish or roasting pan and drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup oil. Add chiles and turn fish to coat; season with salt. Roast until just cooked through, 30-40 minutes.

• Do Ahead
• Relish (without parsley) can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add onions, and cook until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, season chops generously with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sear chops until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to the oven, and cook to desired doneness. (Cook until a meat thermometer registers 140 degrees for medium-rare, about 5 minutes.) Transfer to a serving plate. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Add wine to onions, and simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon over pork chops.
• Serve with lemon wedges.
