Poached Cod with Broccoli Rabe and Roasted Tomatoes
(Charlie Trotter)
As for the Poached Cod, you can start by blanching the Broccoli Rabe, now the trick here is that instead of letting your water boil first and then adding the vegetable, you place it in cold water and let it cook gradually. Once you have that going you can go ahead and prepare the dressing for the tomatoes. The dressing for the tomatoes is absolutely delicious and contains alot of flavor. Add your tomatoes to it the dressing and let it marinate. Now, I have tasted Cod before but never have I seen a recipe that required the cod to be poached in oil. It also asks for the oil to be specifically 110F. This was a pain ! My oil was rising to 130 plus. the best thing to do is basically leave it on super low and if you see it's rising, remove from flame and let it cool down, you can even add some cold oil. I tried the cod and thought that it tasted very bland. Now yes, I'm sure you can add some flavor to the oil, but regardless, the overall plate is very oily. Once everything is tried together, it is alot better. So I'm going to say i just don't agree with Charlie on this one.
just leave a comment for recipe :)
