Servings: 2

 

Ingredients:

1 large fillet of white-fleshed fish such as cod, hake or flounder

2 cloves garlic, smashed

small handful (5-6) grape tomatoes, halved

Juice of 1 lemon

Olive oil

1 small-medium red onion, sliced

1 bunch parsley, chopped

1 lb potatoes (any kind) chopped in 1–2 inch chunks

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 lb baby or golden turnips (about 2-3), halved or quartered

Equipment:

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Heat a heavy-bottomed covered pan with about a tablespoon of oil and cook the onions over medium-low or low heat until translucent and lightly caramlized, about 6-8 minutes. Clear aside the onions from the center of the pan and add the potatoes and turnips, along with another splash of oil if necessary. When vegetables begin to crisp up, add the tomatoes and smashed garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for another 2-3 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Once the potatoes are about halfway to becoming fully cooked, place the pieces of fish on top of everything in an even layer, making sure that none touch the bottom of the pan. Squirt with lemon, reduce heat to medium-low, and cover. Let cook for about 10 minutes without opening. Once opened, inspect fish to see if each piece is completely opaque (cooked) rather than translucent (not cooked). Top with remaining lemon juice, parsley and transfer to plates to serve.Cost Calculator1 large turbot fillet (at $7.99 on sale at Whole Foods): $5.001 lb purple potatoes (from Windfall Farms): $1.501/4 lb golden baby turnips (from Windfall Farms): $0.38small handful (5-6) grape tomatoes (at $4/carton): $1.001 red onion: $0.301 bunch parsley: $2.001 lemon: $0.33olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, salt, pepper: $0.30Total: $10.81Health FactorThree brownie points: A solid score, thanks to well-rounded nutrition and minimal yet healthy fats.

That, and the lemon, which is far from local or seasonal around here as well. The first run of this recipe with hake kept the main protein within state distance, caught in Long Island by Pura Vida Fisheries; though the turbot was US Pacific wild-caught, according to Whole Foods. But the most important thing to consider with fish is perhaps not locality, but its state of endangerment due to overfishing. And it is only from checking in the aftermath on Seafood Watch that I find that Atlantic hake is indeed overfished. Good to know.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
