For the few who do not enjoy Corned Beef and Cabbage.
ST PATRICK'S DAY CODFISH
1 IB cod fish
10 oz bag of frozen peas
1 Avocado
1/2 IB pasta with texture to hold the green sauce. Preferably Racconto brand.
3 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions
Sherry vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Sea salt
Fresh ground black pepper
In a small pot of boiling water add the frozen peas and cook for 2 min. remove from water and add to a blender.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a sauce pan with roughly chopped garlic. Stir under low to medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes, add to blender.
To the blender add:
Add on teaspoon of salt and two grinds of black pepper (1/4 tsp).
3 tablespoons of water
1 tablespoon of sherry vinegar
1 avocado
Pulse blend until fully mixed. Set aside.
Bring salted water to boil for the noodles. While waiting cut the green onions into small pieces separating the white part from the green. Discard leafy stalks. Whites will be sautéd and put on the fish, the green will be added to the pasta.
Add 4 tablespoons each of sherry vinegar and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a sauce pan. Add in the white part of the onion and sauté for two minutes under medium heat. Remove onions and vinegar/oil mixture, set aside. The onion and liquid will go on top of the fish when ready to plate.
In the same pan add 4 tablespoons of sherry vinegar and enough water to cover the bottom of the pan by1/8 inch. The goal is to poach the fish under medium heat.
Add the fish, it will take about 10-15 minutes depending on thickness. Do not use a lid, let the fish cook from the bottom up, add more water as needed., less is best to keep the flavor of the fish. The fish will begin to turn white and can be separated easily with a fork when cooked through.
While waiting on the fish the water will have begun to boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to a semi firm density. Remove and add to a bowl, mix the pea/avocado mixture. Once mixed add the green onion segments.
Plate the noodle mixture and place the cooked fish on top.
Garnish with paprika and a light sprinkle of salt.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
