Blackfish With Potatoes And Onions Recipes

POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium high heat.
• Slice potatoes and onions very thin. Salt potatoes and onions. Add oil and butter to the pan. When the butter foams, add potatoes and onions to the skillet.
• Place a dinner plate on top of potatoes and weight it with any heavy object: a sack of flour, heavy canned goods, etc. Let the potatoes and onions crust, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn, replace weights, and let them crust again. Keep turning the potatoes and onions over for about 20 minutes, until they are evenly golden and crusted.

EASY FRIED POTATOES & ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a skillet. Add the onions and cook until soft and lightly browned. Remove the onions from the pan and reserve.
• Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Add them to the hot pan and brown on both sides.
• Return the onion to the pan, toss and season. Serve warm.

GOLDEN POTATOES & ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a shallow pan and cook the onions with the thyme and bay for 20 mins until very soft, then turn up the heat to medium and cook for 5 mins more until sticky and golden.
• Add the olive oil to the pan, scatter in the potatoes and fry for about 10 mins until golden. They won't crisp because of the onions but you want them soft around the edges; add more oil to the pan if necessary. About 30 secs before serving toss through the parsley and season.

BLACKFISH WITH POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet. When it is hot, add the potatoes and onions, and saute them, covered, over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Add the pepper slices, mix well and cook, uncovered, for about 2 minutes.
• Arrange the fish fillets on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, garlic and parsley. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Divide the butter into small pieces and dot the fish with them.
• Immediately remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

SALT COD WITH POTATOES ONIONS AND BLACK OLIVES

Steps:

• To prepare the salt cod: Rinse the cod well and then immerse it in a container of cold water (cut into chunks, if necessary, to fit). Refrigerate, changing the soaking water 2 or 3 times, until softened (12 to 24 hours, depending on how stiff it was to begin with). Drain the cod, place it in a large saucepan with the onion and the bay leaves, and cover with cold water. Bring just to a boil, reduce the heat to very low, and cover (taste the water at this stage and, if it seems excessively salty, then drain, cover again with fresh cold water, and bring to a boil). Simmer very gently until the fish is opaque and plumped, and falls apart into heavy flakes when prodded, about 20 minutes.
• Drain, pat dry, and remove the bones and skin, if necessary. Separate into large flakes and use right away, or refrigerate for up to 2 days before continuing with the recipe.
• In a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water, cook the potatoes whole for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender but not falling apart. Drain and, when cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/4 inch slices. In a large heavy skillet, heat 1/3 cup of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion rings and, stirring frequently, cook until they are softened and translucent but not browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. In a heavy saucepan, reduce the wine by half over medium high heat. Add the fish stock and again reduce by half, then add the cream and reduce by 1/3, so that you have about 2 cups liquid remaining.
• Pour this liquid into an earthenware or ceramic casserole about 8 inches in diameter with 4 inch sides. Spread half of the potatoes in the bottom of the casserole, cover them with half of the cod and half of the onions, using a slotted spoon to transfer the onions. Scatter half of the olives over the first layer. Repeat the layer with the remaining potatoes, cod, onions, and olives.
• In a small bowl, toss the cheese, bread crumbs, black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil together, then distribute this mixture evenly over the casserole. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp. If desired, run the dish under a hot broiler briefly to crisp the topping even more. Scatter the parsley over the top and serve directly from the casserole.

BAKED FISH WITH POTATOES, ONIONS, SAFFRON AND PAPRIKA

Steps:

• Sprinkle the fish fillets with salt and arrange in a flat-bottomed bowl or pie plate.
• Pour on the lemon juice and let it sit.
• In a shallow, ovenproof casserole, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil.
• Add the potatoes in layers and sprinkle each layer with salt.
• Turn the potatoes to coat with the oil and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the onions, 1/8 teaspoon of the saffron, and 1/4 teaspoon of the paprika and saute for 2 minutes more.
• Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the potatoes are almost tender, 15-20 minutes, lifting and turning the potato mixture occoasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drain the fish and arrange over the potatoes.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over the fish and sprinkle with salt and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon saffron and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through.
• Serve right from the casserole dish or transfer to dinner plates and arrange the potato mixture around and over the fish.
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

FISH CAKES WITH POTATOES

Steps:

• Gently boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender. Drain and mash. Add the cream and butter and mix well. Set aside, but do not refrigerate.
• While the potatoes are cooking, simmer fish fillets in water to cover until they are cooked through. Drain well, flake the fish and mix it with potatoes.
• Add the chopped onions and lightly beaten egg to the fish-potato mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. This recipe may be made ahead of time up to this point and refrigerated, covered.
• When ready to cook, form the fish mixture into cakes similar to small hamburgers, about two and one-half inches in diameter. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate or dry surface and pat the fish cakes in the crumbs to coat well.
• Heat one tablespoon of bacon dripping (for flavor) and one tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Saute the fish cakes until they are brown on both sides. Serve immediately.

BAKED COD WITH POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a large, rectangular baking dish.
• Place the fish in the prepared dish. Arrange potato and onion slices around and on top. Pour enough milk over top to just barely cover. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Dot butter over top.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes, checking frequently and adding more milk if necessary. Serve in large bowls.
