Festive Fish Fillets Food

FESTIVE FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.
• Combine cilantro, garlic, lemon juice and 2 tbl. olive oil. Place in dish or plastic bag, and add fish fillets. Be sure fish is coated in marinade. Marinate for about 30 min., while completing rest of dish.
• Grease baking dish with 1 tbl. olive oil. Distribute sliced onions on bottom, top with chopped tomato, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes - onions should be soft.
• Place fillets on tops of onion/tomatoes and drizzle marinade on top. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return to oven and bake until fish is flaky, about 30 minutes.
• Serve with rice or couscous.
• Note: Cooking time will depend on thickness of fillet. If you use very thin fillets, you may need to remove them earlier and keep them warm, and return the onion/tomato mix to the oven. Total oven time should be about one hour.

FESTIVE FILLET OF BEEF

Steps:

• Soak the raisins in the Madeira overnight. Drain well and reserve the Madeira.
• Cut the Parma ham into 12 long strips about 2.5 cm wide. Dip the raisins in half of the chopped parsley, then roll each one tightly in a strip of ham.
• Using a sharp knife make 12 small deep incisions into the beef. Push in the Parma rolls. Tie the beef at 2.5 cm intervals with fine string to produce a neat shape.
• Thinly slice the aubergine lengthways and brush lightly with a little oil. Grill for 2-3 mins each side until golden brown, cool.
• Trim the root ends of the shallots but don't remove completely. Halve any large ones.
• Heat 45ml olive oil in a flameproof casserole or roasting tin and brown the fillet all over then remove and set aside.
• Add another 15ml oil to the pan with the spices and shallots. Saute for 3-4 mins or until shallots are golden brown stirring the mixture occasionally.
• Cover the fillet with the aubergine and return to the pan.
• Mix together the reserved Madeira, sugar, stock and remaining raisins and pour over the fillet. Bring to the boil and season.
• Cook, uncovered, at 230C (450F) gas 8 for 35-40 mins for medium rare. Allow another 10-12 mins for well done.
• Stir the remaining parsley into the pan juices.
• Slice the beef thinly and serve with the warmed pan juices (I usually use cornflour mixed with water to get the right consistency).
