ingredients

Nutrition
6 US
  • 3 tablespoons annatto oil, divided (see note)
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced, divided
  • 3 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped, divided
  • 2 fresh hot chili peppers, seeded and cut into 1/8-inch strips, divided (red or green)
  • 12 teaspoon finely chopped garlic, divided
  • 12 teaspoon dried oregano, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided (or to taste)
  • 14 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
  • 3 lbs sea bass (cut into 1/2-inch steaks)

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon annatto oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over moderate heat, tipping pot to spread oil across the bottom.
  2. Spread half the onion slices, tomatoes, and chili strips in the hot oil.
  3. Sprinkle with half the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
  4. Lay fish steaks on top of vegetable mixture.
  5. Cover with remaining vegetables and seasonings.
  6. Drizzle remaining annatto oil over top.
  7. Cover and simmer over low heat until fish is opaque and firm, 20-30 minutes. Do not overcook.
  8. NOTE: to make annatto oil, heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a saucepan over moderate heat. Stir in 1/4 cup annatto (achiote) seeds. Stir for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and strain. This will keep several months if tightly covered and refrigerated, but it will lose flavor as it ages.

salmon with raspberry  sauce and spring mix salad

In cooking, a sauce is liquid, cream or semi-solid food served on or used in preparing other foods. Sauces are not normally consumed by themselves; they add flavor, moisture, and visual appeal to another dish. Sauce is a French word taken from the Latin salsa, meaning salted. Possibly the oldest sauce recorded is garum, the fish sauce used by the Ancient Greeks.

Marination is the process of soaking foods in a seasoned, often acidic, liquid before cooking. The origin of the word alludes to the use of brine (aqua marina) in the pickling process, which led to the technique of adding flavor by immersion in liquid. The liquid in question, the 'marinade', can be either acidic (made with ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice, or wine) or enzymatic (made with ingredients such as pineapple, papaya or kiwifruit). In addition to these ingredients, a marinade often contains oils, herbs, and spices to further flavor the food items.

Soups, stews, gazpachos, and purees—there is bound to be something for everyone (and every season) on our extensive list of favorite, healthy soups.

Pork is the culinary name for meat from the domestic pig (Sus domesticus). It is the most commonly consumed meat worldwide,with evidence of pig husbandry dating back to 5000 BC. Pork is eaten both freshly cooked and preserved. Curing extends the shelf life of the pork products. Ham, smoked pork, gammon, bacon and sausage are examples of preserved pork. Charcuterie is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, many from pork.


A steak is a cut of meat sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, potentially including a bone.




Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. Seafood prominently includes fish and shellfish.




Pasta is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine, with the first reference dating to 1154 in Sicily. It is also commonly used to refer to the variety of pasta dishes.



Test for doneness. Flake with a fork. Fish should reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Add 5 minutes to the total cooking time for fish cooked in foil or in sauce.

BBQ




Barbecue (also barbeque, BBQ and barby/barbies) is a cooking method and apparatus. While there is a vast degree of variation and overlap in terminology and method surrounding this form of cooking, the generally accepted difference between barbecue and grilling is in the cooking time and type of heat used: grilling is generally done "hot and fast" over direct heat from low-smoke fuels (with the flame contacting the meat itself), while barbecuing is usually done "low and slow" over indirect heat from high-smoke fuels (with the flame not contacting the meat directly)
