Fish One Pot Food

FISH ONE-POT

Steps:

• Chop the tops off the chile peppers and shake out the seeds. Peel the daikon radish, and puncture one end deeply in several places with an ice pick or chopstick. Force the peppers into the holes, then set aside for 5 minutes to let the chiles soften.
• Grate the stuffed daikon over a bamboo mat or cheesecloth, and squeeze out some of the moisture. Set aside for garnish.
• Wash and parboil the cabbage leaves in a large pot of water for 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Drain, salt lightly and pat dry. Lay the leaves on a bamboo mat and roll to form a tight cylinder. Press for a few minutes, then unwrap and cut into 1 1/2inch rounds. Refrigerate until ready to arrange the platter.
• Cut off the root cluster of the mushrooms. Separate each bunch into thirds and tie each bundle with a gourd strip. Parboil the carrots briefly and plunge into cold water. Drain and set aside.
• Arrange all of the ingredients on a large platter, decoratively placing the fish and other ingredients, and balancing the color.
• Place the kelp in a donabe casserole and fill 2/3 full of water. Bring just to the boiling point and remove the kelp. Begin by placing some of the fish into the pot.
• After 2 or 3 minutes, place some of each remaining ingredient in pot. When ingredients are cooked, diners should remove them with chopsticks and dip them into ponzu sauce and daikon. Season to taste with chopped scallions and Daikon Pepper garnishes. Keep adding and cooking remaining ingredients.
• When all of the fish and vegetables are eaten, diners can drink the remaining broth.

SAUSAGE AND FISH ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil, a turn of the pan, over medium-high heat. Heads up: use a skillet with a tight fitting lid. Add the sausage and crumble while browning, about 3 to 4 minutes. While the sausage browns, crush the garlic. Peel the onion, trim off the root end and then thinly slice. Add the garlic, onions and potatoes to the pan with the sausage and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Douse the pan with half of the vermouth or wine, cover the pan with a lid and cook 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the lid, add the tomatoes and gently stir into the potatoes. Set fillets on top of the potatoes and douse with the remaining vermouth or wine. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste. Set lid in place and cook until the fish is opaque, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• Top the fish with parsley, the juice of 1/2 a lemon and garnish with a liberal drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. To serve, transfer the fish and sausage mixture from the pan into shallow bowls to hold the juice. Use the crusty bread to soak in the juices at the table.

ONE-POT COCONUT FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion and a big pinch of salt. Gently fry until the onion is translucent, so around 10 mins, then add the garlic and spices. Stir and cook for another minute, adding a splash of water to prevent them sticking. Tip in the coconut milk and stir well, then simmer for 10 mins.
• Tip the fish pie mix and the frozen peas into the pan and cook until the peas are bright green and the fish is starting the flake, so around 3 mins. Season and add lime juice to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve with yogurt and rice.

ONE-POT FISH WITH BLACK OLIVES & TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil from the olives in an ovenproof pan. Tip in the onion and stir well, leave to cook for a minute or two and then give it another good stir. Add the tomatoes and some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then add the olives.
• Put the fish, skin side down, onto the sauce and drizzle over a splash more oil from the olive jar. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes until the fish is cooked. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve straight from the pan, with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

SEA BASS & SEAFOOD ITALIAN ONE-POT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, then add the fennel, garlic and chilli. Fry until softened, then add the squid, basil stalks, tomatoes and wine. Simmer over a low heat for 35 mins until the squid is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season.
• Scatter the mussels and prawns over the sauce, lay the sea bass fillets on top, cover, turn up the heat and cook hard for 5 mins. Serve scattered with the basil leaves and fennel fronds, with crusty bread.
