Roasted Cod With Sauteed Chickpeas Spinach Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the bacon rasher into shreds and cook in a hot non-stick pan with the garlic clove. Stir in the wine vinegar and chickpeas. Toss in the baby leaf spinach, stirring until wilted. Season if you want to, then serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Season the fish on all sides with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a saute pan over high heat. Sear the fish on the flesh side until it is golden brown. Turn the fillets over carefully and place the pan in the oven. Cook the fish in the oven to desired doneness. When the fish is done place 1/4 of the Shiitake Quinoa in the center of the plate. On top of the quinoa place a slice of Oven Roasted Tomato. Place the fish on top of the tomato. Place 1/4 of the Sauteed Arugala on top of the fish. Spoon the Bacon Balsamic Vinaigrette and Summer Corn Milk around the plate.
• Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the shiitake mushrooms and cook until they start to release their liquid and soften. Add the quinoa and stir to coat the grains. Add the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook on a low flame until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked, about 12 minutes. Take off the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir in the butter. Set in a warm place covered until needed.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the 4 slices of tomato in a baking dish large enough to fit the tomatoes in 1 layer. Season with salt and pepper and place 1 piece of bay leaf on each tomato slice. Sprinkle a little of the garlic and thyme on top of the tomato slices. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Place the dish on the middle rack in the oven and roast until the tomato is just hot and soft, about 2 to 3 minutes (convection oven), do not overcook. Take out of oven, remove pieces of bay leaf and set in a warm place until needed.
• Heat the oil in a saute pan. Add the arugula and stir around until leaves are wilted. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat and set aside.
• Chop the bacon and put in a pan over a medium-low flame. Render the fat making sure not to let it burn. When the fat is rendered out of the bacon add the balsamic vinegar. Add the butter and blend in with an immersion blender or hand held electric beater.
• Cut the corn off the cob by running a knife down the length of the cob. Put the corn kernels in a juicer or into cheesecloth and squeeze to extract the corn milk. Put the corn milk into a small saucepan.
• Heat gently over a low flame and stir frequently (be careful not to heat it too quickly). When the corn milk is hot add the chives and butter and mix with an immersion blender. Season with salt and pepper and reserve in a warm place.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Rinse and dry cod fillets. Place fillets in a lightly greased casserole dish. Pour salsa over fish. Sprinkle with parsley, salt and pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve warm over rice.

Steps:

• Bring a 3-quart pot three fourths full of water to a boil. Add bacon and cook 2 minutes. Drain bacon and rinse in cold water. Pat dry and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Cook bacon in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until browned. Leaving bacon in skillet, spoon off all but 1 tablespoon fat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, chickpeas, and red pepper flakes to skillet and saut) over high heat, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas begin to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in spinach and garlic and sauté, stirring, until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining tablespoon oil.

Steps:

• Arrange a rack at center position and preheat oven to 450. Oil a baking dish that will hold the fillets comfortably in a single layer; add fillets. Drizzle cod with 4T olive oil and 2T lemon juice. Salt and pepper generously. Roast until flesh is opaque and flakes easily when pierced with a sharp knife, 9-12 minutes. (Be alert as to thickness of fillets as cooking time will vary.) While cod is roasting, prepare sauteed vegetables. Fry bacon in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on paper towels. Discard drippings in pan. Add 2T olive oil to pan and heat over medium heat until hot. Add the chickpeas and cook, stirring until heated through, 2 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in the bacon and 2T lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, sprinkle cod fillets with parsley, and if desired, garnish with lemon peel. Serve with the sauteed vegetables.
