My Big Stuffed Fish With Rice Recipes

FISH STICKS WITH BROCCOLI RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Combine 2 cups water, the rice, ginger and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the broccoli (do not stir). Cover and set aside to let the broccoli steam.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a separate large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Whisk the flour, mustard powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the seltzer in a large bowl until smooth. Season the cod with salt. Working in batches, dip the cod in the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, and fry until golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and season with salt; transfer to the oven to keep warm. Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.
• Gently fluff the rice with a fork. Discard the ginger and stir in the sesame oil and scallions; season with salt. Serve the cod with the chili sauce, broccoli rice and lemon wedges.

BAKED FISH AND RICE

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the broth, rice, Italian seasoning and garlic powder, bring to a boil. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 375° for 10 minutes. Add the broccoli, Parmesan cheese and half of the onions. Top with fish fillets; sprinkle with paprika., Cover and bake 20-25 minutes longer or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Uncover; sprinkle with cheddar cheese and remaining onions. Return to the oven for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

BEEF AND RICE STUFFED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Slice the top 1/2 inch from the tops of peppers and cut out the stems from the tops. Cut the core from the inside of the peppers and strip away any seeds. Cut away a very thin slice of pepper from the bottoms so the peppers can stand upright. Poke about 4 tiny holes in the bottoms to let juices drain out.
• Pour 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add onion, beef broth, and red pepper flakes; spread out mixture evenly over the bottom. Set prepared bell peppers upright in the dish.
• Combine ground beef, cooked rice, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 1/4 cup parsley, 2 tablespoons tomato sauce, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
• Lightly stuff peppers with meat mixture. Spread 1 tablespoon remaining tomato sauce on top of each portion of stuffing; place reserved tops onto peppers. Lay a piece of parchment paper loosely on top of peppers and cover dish tightly with foil. Lay dish on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Peppers should be starting to soften. Remove foil and parchment paper. Continue to bake until meat filling is cooked through and the peppers are tender, 20 to 30 more minutes. Sprinkle each pepper with 1/2 teaspoon parsley and drizzle with a spoonful of pan juices.

STUFFED FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute carrots and onion in 3 tablespoons of butter until tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in bread cubes, tomatoes, mushrooms, cucumber, 1 teaspoon salt, dill and pepper., Place four fillets in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top each with 1 cup stuffing and another fillet. Sprinkle with paprika and remaining salt. Dot with remaining butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Cut in half; serve with lemon.

CURRY FISH AND RICE

Steps:

• Heat water, onion, butter, curry powder, and salt in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is melted, about 2 minutes. Stir rice into onion mixture and arrange frozen white fish over rice. Sprinkle with almonds.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fish should be heated through, and the flesh should be opaque and flake easily. Mix in peas and fluff rice with a fork before serving.

WHITEFISH WITH ORANGE RICE STUFFING

Steps:

• Clean fish, removing scales and fins.
• Remove head and tail and wash and dry fish.
• Sprinkle inside with salt.
• Prepare stuffing: Melt ¼ cup butter in medium saucepan.
• Add celery, onion, and orange rind and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add salt, orange, and lemon juice and ¾ cup water.
• Bring to a rolling boil and add rice.
• Stir, cover and remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
• Stuff fish loosely and fasten opening with small skewers or toothpicks and lace with string.
• Place fish on a greased baking dish and brush with melted butter.
• Measure stuffed fish at the thickest part and bake in 450F oven for 10 minutes per inch of thickness.

HERB-STUFFED WHOLE FISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Place a large oven-safe saute pan or baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven to preheat.
• Season the belly cavity of the fish with salt and pepper. Place 2 or 3 lemon slices and a few sprigs each of thyme, oregano and parsley into the cavity of each fish. Really, just fill the cavities with all the lemon and herbs that will fit.
• Now for the fun part! Close the cavity of each fish by "sewing" a skewer through the skin: Hold the skin together, tucking in the herbs, and weave the skewer up and down through the skin to seal the cavity. The skewer stays in while the fish is cooking. Season the outside of the fish with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Divide the olive oil among the 4 fish and use your fingers to rub it on, coating them well on all sides.
• Carefully remove the preheated pan from the oven and gently place the fish in it. There should be a searing noise -- that means you're doing it right! Return the pan to the oven and roast the fish for 15 minutes.
• Remove the fish from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the skewers and place the fish (herbs and all) on large plates for serving. Since these are whole fish, be mindful of the bones as you eat, and advise your guests to be careful as well.
