Cannellini Cod

Beans and mustard with fish and tomatoes? Weird, right? Trust me..... it works ;-)
Ingredients:

  • 1-2 lbs cod or other white fish filets
  • your favorite white cooking wine - use real wine ;-)
  • 15 oz cannellini beans - drained but not rinsed
  • country style Dijon mustard
  • olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • fresh beefsteak tomatoes
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • fresh parsley - chopped

Preparation:
Let your tastebuds be your guide with this one, and make it your very own. :-)
Paste:
Mash cannellini beans, add mustard, oil, salt & black pepper to taste, and warm. Paste should be thin but not runny.
Fish:
Cut tomatoes into ¼” slices, sear in large skillet and set aside. Sear fish in same pan and sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and parsley. Add wine and simmer covered until almost done. Spoon off most of the broth and save for a little treat later. Layer tomatoes on the filets, spread paste over tomatoes, cover and simmer low a little more. Garnish with shredded parsley and serve.

Blessed be... and happy cooking!
