Instructions
Traditional vegetable stew
- To prepare the traditional vegetable stew, first make the homemade tomato sauce in a Thermomix. Alternatively, follow the tomato sauce preparation instructions provided in the Tips & Advice section.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until lightly golden.
- Add the green pepper to the same pan and continue sautéing. Then add the zucchini, which requires the shortest cooking time.
- Stir in the homemade tomato sauce and the cumin, and cook for a few more minutes until the mixture takes on an orange hue and thickens. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed.
- In a small frying pan, heat the remaining extra virgin olive oil and fry the eggs, seasoning them with a pinch of salt.
- To serve, spoon about three generous tablespoons of the vegetable stew onto each plate and top with the Alaska Wild Cod.
Alaska Wild Cod
- Place a sheet of baking paper in a very hot frying pan and cook the fish on top of it. This prevents the cod from sticking, ensures even browning, and helps keep the fillet intact.
Make sure the pan is thoroughly heated before adding the baking paper.Cook the cod skin-side down first (if the fillet has skin) and do not move it until it releases easily.Turn the fish only once to keep the flakes intact.Avoid overcooking the fish; cod is much juicier when cooked just to the right doneness.Let it rest for one minute before serving so the juices can redistribute.
