Here's what I prepared for dinner last night. My own recipe, improvised on the spot. I don't claim it is authentic, but it was very good.

2 fillets of pixin (monkfisk)
8 oz crushed tomatoes
8 oz chopped piquillo peppers
1 very large onion, chopped
5 large garlic cloves crushed
extra virgin olive oil
white wine
smoked sweet paprika

Saute the onion and garlic in extra vrigin olive oil until the onion is translucent, Add the tomatoes and piquillo peppers. Heat briefly and add the white wine (low acidity - most chardonnays would not work well). Cook until done, adding wine as needed to maintain the desired thickness.

When the sauce is ready, slice the pixin into 1 cm thick pieces, toss with a teaspoon or two of sweet, smoked paprika, and saute in extra virgin olive oil until done. Be careful not to overcok the fish.

Plate by spooning the sauce into a dish and placing the pixin slices on top. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper as desired. Serve with fresh crusty bread or garlic toast.

Zarzuela de Pescado y Mariscos

Post by Quince »

Enjoy!!!!!

Zarzuela de Pescado y Mariscos
or Maria’s Seafood Stew

8 Large pieces of fleshy white fish (Rape was used here, about 2 pounds)
Shellfish (~ 1 cup of small clams and 15 medium shrimp, head on)
2 cups of tomatoes
White wine, about ½ a bottle
2 cups Bread pieces (like large croutons)
Olive oil
1 head of Garlic
Parsley
½ cup Toasted almonds (or fried)
Salt

Prepare ahead of time:

Fry bread pieces in olive oil until well browned
Toast or Fry Almonds
One head of garlic cloves, cleaned

Skin and grate the tomatoes when ready to start

Preparation

Use a large flat non-stick pan that can be covered later.

Fry the tomato in a large flat pan until reduced to a thickened sauce

Take bread, almonds, garlic, parsley and a pinch of salt
Blend together (use a boat motor) until mixed well but still a coarse mixture
Add this to the tomatoes and stir in.
Add white wine, stirring in a few times

Now add the fish pieces and turn to coat them. Now let the mixture simmer.
Cover and let cook for about 10 minutes, turning at least once.
Add the clams and shrimp, and cook for another 8 minutes, covered

Serves 6 - 8

That's an interesting recipe, Quince. Welcome to the forum!

Is this part a joke, perhaps because the sauce is thick: "use a boat motor"?

What happens to the bread? Is it used to thicken the sauce?

---------

Es una receta interesante, Quince. ¡Bienvenido (o bienvenida?) al foro!

¿Esta parte: "use a boat motor [usa una motor de barco] es un chiste, quizás porque la sausa sea muy espesa?

¿Que ocurre con el pan? ¿Está empleado para hacer la sausa más espesa?

Don't forget that sliced chorizos caseros asturianos are always a great addition to paella.

As far as the boat motor goes, I have a little heat-resistant immersible blender device that works wonderfully for sauces and soups and anything else hot that needs to be homogenized a bit.

Ah, Quince must be talking about a "batidora." Maybe they call this a "hand blender" in English?

Bob, you're like the angel of chorizo or, depending on one's point of view, the chorizo devil! I'm imagining a funny routine in which one character weaves "chorizo!" into every one of his lines. Maybe we should create that for the next conference!

---------------------

Oh, Quince debe de hablar de una "batidora". ¿Tal vez se lo llamen una "hand blender" en inglés?

Bob, eres como el ángel de chorizo o, según el punto de vista, ¡el diablo de chorizo! Estoy imaginando un número gracioso en que un carácter intercala "¡chorizo!" en cada frase. ¡Quizás podamos crearlo para la próxima conferencia!

It *is* a lot like an outboard motor.

What happens to the bread? Is it used to thicken the sauce?

-----------------------

Pues, sí, es parecido a una motor fueraborda.

¿Que ocurre con el pan? ¿Está empleado para hacer la sausa más espesa?

Gee menetles, where did you find a 'heat resistant immersible blender device', Bob? I'm intrigued and may I add it reminded me of German submarines in WWII, things that attack destroyers and reemerge in Sicily, but are not usually associated with kitchens. Are these things you find at yard sales? The Sharper Image?

Here's an example of an immersible blender. They are handy little gadgets.

How come that no one has mentioned yet the "Pixín alangostáu"? (lobster-looking monkfish)

:P
