Have you ever found yourself at the end of a long hard day with nothing prepared for dinner? No? ...smiles... Well, if and when it does happen... like it did here last night... Remember Chef Jacques Pepin's inspiration of...
"Just use whatever is in your fridge."
I smiled... and scrounged. :-) I decided on a simple fish soup that actually turned out quite good... good enough to repeat in a more planned version! Use this recipe as is... or have some fun with whatever you have in YOUR fridge! Enjoy :-)
Ingredients:
- 6 oz bite size pollock
- 1 yellow onion - cut up
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 16-20 oz chicken stock
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
Preparation:
Heat the oil in a midsized nonstick saucepan over medium heat and saute the onion until translucent and edges just start to brown. Add frozen peas and toss until peas soften. Add partially defrosted fish and toss to blend flavors.
Add stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Simmer until fish is cooked... 5-10 minutes, and serve.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
