|
Ingredients:
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 and 1/2 lb shallots (about 10 large or 15 medium), trimmed,
leaving root end intact, and quartered lengthwise (halved if
small)
1 and 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 cup white balsamic vinegar
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 and 3/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 California bay leaf (or 2 Turkish)
8 (6 to 7-oz) pieces farm-raised striped bass fillet (1/2
inch thick), skinned
Chopped fennel fronds for garnish-
- Directions:
-
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a 12 to 13 inch heavy
skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking,
then sauté shallots, stirring occasionally, until browned and
just tender, about 8 minutes.
-
- Remove from heat and add wine,
vinegar, water, sugar, raisins, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1/4
teaspoon pepper and bay leaf, then briskly simmer, stirring
occasionally, until shallots are very tender and liquid is
thick and syrupy, 40 to 45 minutes. (If liquid is reduced
before shallots are tender, add 1/2 cup water and continue to
simmer.)
-
- Pat fish dry, then sprinkle with remaining
1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
-
- Fold fillets in
half, skinned side in.
-
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick
skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking,
then sauté 4 folded fillets, turning over once, until deep
golden, 4 to 6 minutes total.
-
- Put cooked fish (still folded) on top of
sauce in heavy skillet.
-
- Wipe out nonstick skillet and sauté
remaining 4 fillets in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in same
manner, transferring to sauce.
-
- Cook, partially covered, over moderate heat
until fish is just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
- Note: Agrodolce sauce can be made 1
day ahead and cooled completely, then chilled, covered. Reheat
over moderate heat before cooking fish. Serves 8.
