Ingredients
-
Leeks, 1 lb including edible green parts(454 grams)
Fennnel, 1 lb including edible stalks (454 grams)
Cod (fish), 16 oz boneless, skinless fillets
*Broth (Pacific Natural) Organic Low Sodium Chicken 1c=240mL Gluten Free GF, 1 cup
*Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 2 tbsp
Lemon pepper or lemon and herb seasoning.
Directions
Prep:
Wash the fennel and slice the whole thing, even the stems. They CAN be eaten (and are very yummy) they just aren't usually used. I slice it 1/2 inch wide or less for faster cooking.
Wash the leeks thoroughly by splitting them in half from root to tip. Hold them under running water root end up and carefully seperate leaves to rinse sand from between leaves. Remove the tough green top parts of the outter leaves. The inner leaves green parts are usually tender enough to use. Slice into chunks no more than 1 inch wide.
Cooking:
In a large pot heat oil. Add fennel and sauteabout 10 minutes. Turn up heat a bit and add leeks. Saute at the higher temperature until fennel and leeks start browning. Add broth to hot pot while stirring, scraping any brown bits from the pot bottom.
Temporarily remove veggies and broth from the pot. Add fish fillets in one layer in pot bottom. Sprinkle liberally with lemon seasoning. Add veggies AND their broth back to the pot right on top of the fish. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes or until fish is done.
The fish actually gets poached in this recipe so the the heat should be as hot as you can get without any bubbling, sort of a low simmer. I've also done this with fillets that were partially frozen, I just left them in longer and it was fine.
