Fish And Vegetable Bstillas Recipes

BAKED WHITE FISH AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Cut the fish into smaller pieces and blot it dry with a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
• Heat about 1/2 - 1 Tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat, season the fish on both sides with salt, ground black pepper and any combination of your favorite seasonings.
• Cook the fish for about 2-3 minutes per side. It should still be partly raw in the center. Cook the fish in batches until it's all partly cooked. Transfer the fish to a plate while you prepare the vegetables.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Prep all the veggies. Peel and halve the onions, and then thinly slice them. Peel the garlic and then mince them or use a garlic press. Peel and grate the carrots, thinly slice the celery and julienne the bell pepper. Remove the seeds from the tomatoes and grate the tomatoes on a box grater. Instead of grating the tomatoes, you can put them through the food processor or blender, or even chop the tomatoes.If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, tomato puree, or tomato sauce.
• Heat another Tablespoon of butter or oil on medium high heat and add the onions, carrots and celery to the skillet. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
• Add the bell pepper, tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and pepper as well and more dry herbs and seasoning that you like. Cook for another 8-10 minutes. Add the fresh herbs once the vegetables are off the stove.
• Spread half of the vegetables on the bottom of the baking dish that you will be using. Place a layer of fish over the vegetables. Spread the remaining vegetables over the fish.
• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt over the vegetables. This step is completely optional.
• Cover the baking dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes. We are basically heating it all up evenly all the way through to the center, and then only waiting for the fish to cook through, which doesn't take long at all. The vegetables are already cooked.

FISH AND VEGETABLE B'STILLAS

Steps:

• Add enough water to large deep skillet to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Add unpeeled garlic cloves and bring water to simmer. Sprinkle fish with salt; add to skillet. Poach fish gently until just opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Transfer fish to plate; cool. Flake fish coarsely; discard skin. Peel and mince cooked garlic.

Remove from heat; mix in cilantro, parsley, harissa, and remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Cool mixture. Gently stir in flaked fish.
• Cook rice noodles in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water to chill quickly. Cut noodles into 1-inch pieces. Stir noodles into fish mixture and season filling to taste with salt.
• Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Place 8-inch plate on work surface. Place 1 phyllo sheet over plate, centering plate underneath. Fold another phyllo sheet in half, brush with butter, then fold in half again and place in center of phyllo over plate. Mound 1 cup fish filling on folded phyllo; shape filling into 5-inch-diameter round. Fold 1 corner of phyllo sheet over filling. Continue to lift and fold edges of phyllo sheet over filling at 6-inch intervals, brushing each fold with melted butter and covering filling completely. Turn b'stilla onto parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush all over with more butter.
• Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling, making 6 b'stillas total. DO AHEAD: Can be made 6 hours ahead. Refrigerate.
