Fish In Hazelnut Crust With Red Pepper Relish Recipes

SHEET-PAN FISH WITH CHARD AND SPICY RED-PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Make the red-pepper relish: Combine red peppers, onion, garlic, ginger and habanero pepper in a food processor. Pulse into a coarsely chopped purée. (You can also finely mince the ingredients with a sharp knife.)
• In a shallow medium sauté pan, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. Add the turmeric, and toast until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the relish and crushed tomato, and bring up to a simmer. Allow the relish to simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened to a paste and turns a shade darker in color, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt to taste.
• Prepare the fish: Set the oven to broil. Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of the fillets by making 2 parallel cuts across the width. Be careful not to cut all the way through the flesh. Place the fillets on a large rimmed baking sheet, and season both sides with salt. Using a spoon or gloved hands, spread 1 cup of the relish generously over both sides of each fillet, working the marinade into the cuts.
• Scatter the chard around the edges of the fillets on the pan, tucking a few pieces under the fish. (You want a nice char on the fish, so don't cover the fillets with chard pieces.) Drizzle the fillets and chard with oil, and season with more salt. Broil until fish is charred in spots, cooked through and the chard is starting to wilt and brown, about 6 to 8 minutes.
• As the fish cooks, make a quick dressing: Combine the remaining relish, lime zest, juice and 1/4 cup oil. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and scatter the torn cilantro over the fish and chard. Spoon the dressing over everything. Serve fish with any leftover dressing on the side.

RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add bell peppers and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 6 minutes. Add red-wine vinegar and sugar and simmer until liquid is evaporated and vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 4 days.

RED BELL PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Add everything to a small sauce pan and mix until well incorporated.
• Cook the relish on medium heat for 5 minutes and turn down the heat to medium-low(or low) for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until most of the liquid has reduced.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving.
• Note:.
• The relish needs to be cooked on a low heat, so stir frequently and reduce time if necessary. This recipe will keep quite awhile in the fridge and you may multiply the recipe and can it if desired.

FISH IN HAZELNUT CRUST WITH RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Place the nuts in a dry skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 15 minutes, until they are toasted. Do not allow them to burn.
• Wrap the hot, toasted nuts in a clean cloth and rub them in the cloth to remove the skins. Chop them fairly fine in a food processor or by hand. Mix the chopped nuts with the bread crumbs, coriander and cumin and spread this mixture on a plate.
• Place the eggs in a bowl.
• Combine flour, pepper and salt and spread on another plate.
• Dip the pieces of fish first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs, allowing the excess to run off. Press the fish into the crumbs. Place the fish, as it is coated, on a plate and refrigerate until ready to cook, up to one-half hour.
• To cook, heat the butter in a large, nonstick skillet. Place the coated fish in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the pieces are lightly browned, turning them once until they are browned on both sides, two to three minutes on each side. If all the pieces do not fit in the pan, remove those that are cooked to a warm plate and repeat with the rest. It should not be necessary to add additional butter or oil.
• Serve at once with red pepper relish on the side.

RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Wash and stem the bell peppers and the jalapeno. Use a food processor to finely mince the peppers - be careful not to turn them into mush. You want the pieces of the pepper to be the consistency of a relish.
• Put the minced peppers in a large bowl and combine with the canning salt. Let this mixture sit, covered, at room temperature for 3 hours.
• Line a counter with lots of paper towels - I usually use 5 layers. You are going to be placing the drained peppers on these paper towels, so make sure you cover a large enough space; at least 1 foot by 1 1/2 feet.
• Drain the peppers well in a colander, and then with your hands, which you have just washed in hot water with soap, squeeze the remaining moisture out of the peppers. You will see that a lot of water still comes out. Place the drained and squeezed peppers on the paper towels.
• Make a spice bag out of a double layer of cheesecloth, and tie the allspice up in it.
• In a non-reactive 10 to 12 quart pan, combine the drained peppers, the spice bag containing the allspice, the sugar, and the vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium.
• Cook the relish over medium heat for 1 hour, stirring frequently. Keep your eye on it - I have had this relish burn on me due to the high sugar content, so stir frequently - do not walk away from it. If the relish looks like it may be about to burn, turn down the heat.
• When the relish is done, the pieces of pepper will be translucent and the syrup will be thick.
• Remove the spice bag and ladle the relish into canning jars, leaving 1/2" headspace. Use a chopstick or other thin, non-metal utensil to run around the sides of the jar to make sure there are no air bubbles left in the jar. Wipe the rims of the jars with damp paper towels to remove any relish which got on the rims or the threads. Place the lids and the bands on the jars, just tightening the bands fingertip tight.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, then remove and let sit, undisturbed, for at least 12 hours before checking seals. It is important to let them sit undisturbed for 12 hours because the sealing compound on the lids is still cooling and hardening, completing the seal. While the jars cool, you will hear a "plink" type sound from each jar - this is the jars completing the vacuum seal as the final air escapes the jar. After 12 hours have passed, remove the bands and check the lids - press down in the center of the lid. If you cannot push the lid down any further, the jar is sealed. If the lid "gives" a bit, and you can push it down, the jar did not seal. You can either put the band back on the jar, and reprocess it for another 10 minutes, or you can just put it in the fridge and use it within 3 months.

HALIBUT WITH RED BELL PEPPER AND OLIVE RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, and thyme. Sauté until bell pepper is soft, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Mix in olives, vinegar, and tomato paste. Season relish to taste with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
• Place fish on prepared baking sheet and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon enough relish over each fillet to cover. Reserve remaining relish. Bake fish until just opaque in center, about 10 minutes. Transfer fish to serving platter. Garnish with thyme sprigs; serve with reserved relish.

RED AND YELLOW PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add peppers; sauté until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add olives, mustard and garlic. Stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer relish to bowl. Cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill.) Bring to room temperature before serving.

RED PEPPER AND ONION RELISH

Steps:

• Combine red bell peppers, onions, sugar, vinegar, and salt in a large pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 15 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
