Carmenere I have some lovely fresh cod and want to cook something simple

[MarsLady]

My fish range is small so come on my gorgeous! Help a sista out!

I know a great recipe, but I'm keeping it to myself as my help wasn't wanted

have you been to Purkisissisisss'sss, Mars?

No floozy! Craig the Fishman has been to my door!

You could just do it with a pea and creme fraiche puree and ... Oh sorry, I'm not her.

Nigella has a very easy and nice one involving the pea puree thing OB was talking about...

Cod with lime and cracked black pepper. Serve with tiny new potatoes and sugar snap peas or mange tout

And you didn't even name me :P

Okay okay! You win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you watch F word?

I reckon if you had cod loin it would hold up to that recipe he did with monkfish a couple of weeks ago would be ace.

Alternatively, steam it in a parcel with cous cous, white wine, saffron, corainder, spring onions etc etc n a bit of stock.

ooh now that sounds nice, sadly no saffron in house.

saffron not necessarily essential.

roast cod with sundried toms wrapped in parma ham

this is good - can't remember the exact recipe we use but this sounds similar

Have added a recipe on your other thread!

I personally think white fish is at it's best just dredged in white flour, heavily seasoned and fried in olive oil with a little butter in there for flavour. That's my 'usual' way.

Then serve it with some nice spring greens with miso / lemon juice / butter stuff or summat. I must have posted that recipe about a million times! Someone bloody cook it!

okay okay OB... I'll cook it!

Didn't mean to scare you away. I'm feeling a bit over the top today.

aha - have googled some more - we use the Jamie Oliver recipe for monkfish with sundried toms wrapped in parma ham

Steamed in a foil parcel with shredded spring onions on top, plus slosh of soy sauce, sesame oil, tinily chopped ginger, salt and pepper.

Divine! Think is Ken Hom recipe.

mmmm is good with a herb and parmesan crust as well

Did OB's recipe! Lovely!

Will keep the other recipes for another day. My fish man comes round once a week!

Thank you all!

Sorry for letting you down AGAIN Mars

I love you Mars. [weirdo emoticon]. Which one though?

Am going back to uni in sept to study nutrition so have slight professional interest as I want to be food guru to the rich afterwards! Get yer recipes now cuz it'll cost you later.
