ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARRAGON AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Heat oil in large skillet and quickly cook vegetables (about 2-3 minutes on a medium-high heat).
• Take four large pieces of aluminum foil. Place one piece of fish on each.
• Top with 1/2 tablespoon butter, 1/4 of the vegetables and 1/4 of the tarragon.
• Repeat for the other pieces.
• Wrap tightly and place on grill.
• Grill over a medium heat for 12 - 18 minutes. Open carefully because the steam can be very hot.

VANILLA ORANGE TART

Steps:

• In a food processor, process the vanilla wafers to crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and pulse until the crumbs are moistened.
• Press the crumbs into a 10-inch deep-dish tart pan to line the bottom and sides. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the cornstarch. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the gelatin with 2 tablespoons cold water. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepot, combine the milk with another 1/4 cup of the sugar and the vanilla bean. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking occasionally.
• A ladleful at a time, slowly pour the heated milk into the egg yolk mixture, whisking to temper the yolks. When half of the milk has been added, pour the hot egg mixture back into the saucepot, whisking constantly. Heat over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and bubbles start appearing on the surface.
• Whisk the bloomed gelatin into the custard. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any lumps or overcooked yolks.
• Pour the strained custard into the tart shell and refrigerate for 1 hour, until set.
• In a small saucepot, bring the orange juice and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Add the dried orange slices and simmer until syrupy, 10 minutes. Set aside to cool; the orange slices will continue to soften.
• Remove the tart from the refrigerator and decorate with the orange slices in a fan pattern. Drizzle the tart with some of the orange syrup.
• Place the tart back in the refrigerator for another hour, or until the candied oranges are set.

ORANGE ROUGHY WITH TARRAGON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a glass baking dish, arrange orange roughy fillets and cover with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with tarragon, paprika and kosher salt.
• Bake for 25 minutes if fillets are frozen.
• Check to be sure they are done--you can usually tell by looking, because the fish will have shrunk quite a bit from cooking.
• It will also flake when prodded with a fork.
• I served this with some roasted brussel sprouts (roasted in a 375 degree oven at the same time as the fish was cooking, sprinkled with olive oil and kosher salt. YUM!).

ORANGE TARRAGON GRAVY

Steps:

• Pour drippings and loosened browned bits into a 2-cup measuring cup. Skim fat. Add enough water to the drippings to measure 1-1/2 cups. , In a small saucepan, combine flour and orange juice until smooth. Gradually stir in the drippings mixture. Stir in the bouillon, tarragon and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

CARROT SOUP WITH ORANGE AND TARRAGON

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add carrots and onion; sauté until onion is soft, about 8 minutes. Add broth; cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat, uncover, and simmer until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Working in batches, puree soup in blender until very smooth. Return soup to pot. Stir in orange juice, brandy, and chopped tarragon. Simmer 5 minutes for flavors to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish soup with tarragon sprigs and serve.
