1 1/2 lb tilapia fillets, about 1/2 thick
1 1/3 lb regular broccoli or
1 lb broccoli rabe (rapini)
8 green onions (white part only), sli, ced
1 can baby corn, drained (15oz)
ASIAN SAUCE
2 tbsp oriental sesame oil
1 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp minced shallot
1/2 tsp hot red chilies,crushed, dried
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
Directions
Rinse fish and place in a heavy plastic food bag with the Asian
sauce; seal bag and turn to coat fillets. Chill at least 30 minutes
or up to 2 hours, turning occasionally. Lift fillets from sauce;
reserve sauce. Arrange fish in a single layer in a 12x17" broiler pan
(without rack). Pour sauce into a 10-12" frying pan.
Trim broccoli stems or broccoli rabe, then peel if tough. Cut
broccoli into 5" lengths about 1/2" thick.
Fill a 3-4 quart pan 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil over high
heat. Add broccoli or broccoli rabe; cook 1 minute. Lift from water
with a slotted spoon and transfer to pan of sauce. Cook onions in
water about 30 seconds; add, with corn, to sauce.
Broil fish about 3" from heat for 3 minutes. Turn fish over and broil
until opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut
to test), about 2 minutes longer; keep warm on a platter.
Stir sauce and vegetables over high heat until boiling; place on a
platter beside fish.
Asian sauce:
Pour oil into a 10-12" frying pan. Place over medium-high heat until
oil just starts to smoke, about 2 minutes. All at once, add ginger,
shallot, chilies, and coriander. Stir for 30 seconds.
At once, add rice vinegar, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Boil,
uncovered, over high heat until sauce is reduced to 1 cup, about 1
minute. Let cool.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as a concept can be found back into the far past, at least as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further. In practice though, mostly, these ancient records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. He describes how the meals were divided into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he recounts how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many different aromatic flavors, including many that are still in use today for example bay, rue and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods and herbs from Arab cooking, including spices such as parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new tastes led to a surge in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to access massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as this. |
