Crispy Parm-Crusted Filet of Fish and Bowties with Peas (Rachael Ray)

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 filets of tilapia or sole (6 ounces each)
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs or crushed crackers
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, divided
  • 1 tablespoon thyme, finely chopped
  • Zest of 2 lemons, then cut into wedges, divided
  • 1 box bowtie pasta, regular or whole grain
  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped or grated
  • 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 sprigs mint, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 head butter lettuce, for garnish

Pre-heat the oven 250˚F.

Set up three dishes for breading the fillets: In the first, combine the flour with the Old Bay. In the second, beat the eggs with a splash of water. In the third, combine the breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, thyme and lemon zest. Dip each fish fillet first in the flour mixture, then the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs. Place the coated fillets onto a sheet tray and reserve.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add some salt and drop the pasta. Cook to al dente, according to the package directions.

While the pasta is cooking, pre-heat a large skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons EVOO. Add the onions and garlic to the hot skillet and cook until tender.

Pre-heat a large skillet with about 4 tablespoons EVOO and sauté the first two fish filets until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Once the first two fish filets, place them in the hot oven to keep warm while you cook up the other two.

While you are cooking up the fish, add the peas and butter to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Ladle a spoonful of some of the pasta cooking liquid to the peas, remove them from the heat and toss in the mint.

When the pasta is done, drain it well and return it to the pot it was cooked in. Add the peas and sauce to the cooked bowties, then season with a bit of salt and pepper and the remaining Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

To serve, place one or two leaves of butter lettuce inside each serving bowl, then fill the lettuce cup with some of the bowtie pasta with peas. Plate the fish on a separate large serving platter with lemon wedges alongside.

Shar's Basic Whole Wheat Bread

6 cups warm water, approx. 115 degrees 2 tbs. Sea salt 2/3 cup canola oil 2/3 cup honey 3 tbs. Dough enhancer 2 cups high gluten bread flour or 1/3 cup vital wheat gluten 3 tbs. Saf instant yeast 6 to 8 cups of fresh ground flour (to begin with) (10 to 11 cups of un-ground grain will make enough flour for this recipe) Use the momentary switch (m) to mix well. Turn the machine to speed 1 and continue to add wheat flour only until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl. When you can see the sides pull clean as well as the dough coming clean from the bottom of the bowl you know you have enough flour. (do not add too much flour) the dough should be very sticky and does not come together at this point, but the bowl is clean. Knead on speed 1 for 8-10 minutes or until the gluten has been developed. If you feel your dough is too dry, simply add a few tablespoons of water to moisten. (always pulling the sides clean) if dough starts sticking simply add a little white flour to ...
