Salt Cod With Peas Mint And Prosciutto Recipes

PEAS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots, garlic, salt, and pepper, and saute until tender, about 1 minute. Add the peas and saute until heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the prosciutto and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the parsley and remove from the heat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve.

SALT COD WITH PEAS, MINT, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine 4 cups water and the salt. Stir to dissolve. Add the cod. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove cod from salted water, and transfer to a bowl of ice water. Let stand for 15 minutes. Remove and pat dry with paper towels.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the cod, skin-side down, and cook for 7 minutes. Cover, and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Meanwhile, bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peas and a large pinch of salt. Cook until tender but still firm, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, and return to the saucepan. Add the shallot, prosciutto, mint, and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Toss to combine. Heat, stirring, until butter melts,1 to 2 minutes.
• Divide the peas between 2 plates. Top with cod. Sprinkle with the dried peas, and serve.

COUSCOUS WITH PEAS, PROSCIUTTO AND MINT

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a small pot. Put the couscous and peas in a large bowl and pour the water over them. Stir once and then cover the top of the bowl with aluminum foil. Set aside to steam for 5 minutes.
• Uncover the bowl, fluff with a fork and set aside to cool, about 10 minutes. Toss in the prosciutto, mint, lemon juice and zest, oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve at room temperature with lemon slices.

COD BAKED WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick liner or aluminum foil.
• Brush cod fillets with butter, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each in a slice or two of prosciutto, leaving ends of fillets unwrapped. (If slices tear or are narrow, more than two may be used to wrap each fillet.) Brush with butter again, and place on baking sheet.
• Bake fish until firm and white at unwrapped ends, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully remove from baking sheet, and, if desired, place each fillet on a bed of lentils.

MINTED PEA AND PROSCIUTTO CROSTINI
