Gluten free pasta with Lingcod

 Pasta and white fish, doesn't that sound delicious ??

Gluten-Free pasta and white fish sound even better !! 




Today, we are going to make this quick and easy dish, that will please everybody in your family.

Make your pasta ( I will make a blog for that, next time I make some).

You will need, for the sauce : 

- lemon or lime juice ( fresh is better, but I was out of lemons so I used lime juice in a bottle)

- some white wine ( I use semi-sweet, it's my personal preference, but you can use dry wine if you like)

- some pepper flakes to taste ( a little quick is always welcome, you don't need to make it extra spicy)

- 2 diced tomatoes 

- large garlic cloves, minced

- 1 large shallot, finely chopped.

- 1 can of coconut milk ( or sour cream if you are not milk intolerant)


The fish: we love fishing in the summertime, therefore we have salmon and white fish in the freezer for the whole year. I used lingcod for this recipe, but any type of white fish will do. 



On high heat, put a non-stick pan. When the pan is hot pour some olive oil ( not too much, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan), add the shallots and garlic. Cook until the shallots are sweating. Pour in the white wine. The smell of wine and shallot will have everybody rallying around you in the kitchen !! 





Add the cilantro ( or any fresh herb you have in your fridge), tomatoes and pepper flakes. Keep on medium to high heat to reduce the liquid.



Add the can of coconut milk and stir to combine the flavours.



While you leave the pan on low heat, fry-pan you fish with a little bit of olive oil. Before cooking the fish, I pat dry it and season it with salt and pepper, 


When the fish is cooked through ( make sure it's not overcooked, but most importantly it's cooked all the way), slice it and add it to the sauce. Let marinate while the pasta is cooking.



Serve either after combining the sauce and the pasta or separately.
We like two different serving dishes, so everyone can add as much sauce as they wish.


Add some freshly grated parmesan and .....


Enjoy !!

Crusted lingcod

What's for dinner?? ..... the same old question, and after staring at the shelves in the pantry for about 10 minutes, I decided for some lingcod with a crust of walnuts and pecan. Ingredients :  - 1 filet of white fish ( I use lingcod as it's what we have in the freezer)  - 1/2 cup of mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons of mustard - 2 garlic cloves, pureed  - 2/3 cup of walnuts - 2/3 cup of pecans - fresh parsley - parmesan - 3 large carrots - Using a mandoline, slice the carrots and steam them until cooked. - pat the fish dry, and season with salt all over - in a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and garlic. Spread generously on the fish. - put the nuts in a ziplock bag and with a pan, smash them!  - add the finely chopped parsley and about 1/2 a cup of freshly grated parmesan. seal the bag and shake to combine - coat the fish with a thick coat of the nuts mix, and put it in the oven ( temperature: 425˚) for about half an hour ( depending on the thickness of your fish). ...

Tenderloin grass fed beef with shallot sauce.

Being French, I was raised with good food, flavours, and a certain attraction to onions, and shallots.....  I bought this half cow of grass-fed beef, excellent meat, the only thing is: it's a brand new way of cooking. The grasse-fed meat is lean, therefore, if cooked at a high temperature, it becomes chewy. It's been a long learning process for me, I almost gave up on the type of meat, then I discovered Sous-Vide cooking. That changed my life !!  For the sauce, you will need :   6 shallots peeled and thinly sliced   1/2 cup of white wine 5 tablespoons of sour cream Olive oil Butter Salt and pepper   For the steak 2 tenderloin steaks   1 shallots Salt and pepper to taste.   Sauce : Peel and slice the shallots, and cook them in the pan with olive oil and butter.   When browned, add the white wine and reduce for a few minutes.   Add the sour cream, salt, and pepper, and reduce to thicken.   The tenderloin steaks : I use sous-vide for tender...

Sous-Vide chuck roast beef

 I buy my meat straight at the farm, and I like knowing how it was fed and where it comes from. Last year, I bought a cow that was exclusively grass-fed. If the meat was lean and tasty, it definitely lacked fat. I cooked it, and we ate it, but more than once I was disappointed with the result.  It was chewy, very chewy ..... I asked on some forums what my solution could be to avoid this fact, and one person came up with the idea of trying sous-vide cooking. I ordered a water circulating device, took a large plastic container, and gave it a try. I must say that I was not disappointed, and I decided to explore that method of cooking a little more. We finished that cow, ate it all .... and I went to another farm to buy half a cow that was grass-fed BUT grain-finished.  Today I tried to make a chuck roast, using the sous-vide technique and finishing it in the oven.  That was a success !!  Steps :  I used a frozen roast. Put it (still frozen) in a bag ( a ziploc...
