FRIED PEPPERS AND OLIVES

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup olive oil, 3 sage sprigs, the zest of 1 lemon (in strips) and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a skillet over medium-high heat, 1 minute. Add 6 to 8 baby bell peppers; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add 8 smashed garlic cloves and cook 3 more minutes. Add 1 cup mixed olives and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to a dish and serve with crusty bread.

FRIED FISH SANDWICH WITH PEPPER SLAW

Steps:

• Make the slaw:
• Combine lemon and lime juice, hot sauce, olive oil, oregano, and salt in a large bowl. Add onion, jalapeño, and poblano chile and toss to combine. Let marinate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour while you prepare the rest of the dish.
• Make the tartar sauce:
• Combine cornichons, mayonnaise, parsley, capers, tomato powder (if using), vinegar, chili powder, and salt in a small bowl.
• Make the fish:
• Whisk flour, cornstarch, oregano, onion powder, tomato powder (if using), garlic powder, and 3 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add club soda and quickly whisk to incorporate.
• Pour canola oil into a large skillet to a depth of 1/4". Heat oil over medium-high until shimmering, hot, and an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F. Dip fish into batter to coat, shake off excess, then fry until golden, crispy, and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary and adjust the heat as needed to keep oil at 350°F. Transfer to paper towels and season with salt.
• Assemble the sandwiches:
• Strain the slaw and discard liquid. Transfer slaw to a medium bowl.
• Spread 1 Tbsp. tartar sauce on both sides of each bun and place tomato slices on bottom halves. Divide fried fish and slaw among sandwiches and add top halves of buns.
• Do Ahead
• Slaw can be made, strained, and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead. Tartar sauce can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead.
