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 traced back into antiquity, at least as far back into history as pharonic Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. However, sadly, 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 compiled a collection of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the meals were divided into hors d`oeuvres, main course and afters, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a wide range of herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks like thyme, rue and parsley. Over the following few centuries, the powerful families of Europe competed with each other to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes were at a premium. Nevertheless, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe books rose to prominence. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The arrival of TV brought us TV cookery programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
