Poached Flounder With North African Spices Recipes

OVEN POACHED FLOUNDER WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with cooking oil spray. Rinse the flounder under cool water and arrange in the pan.
• Whisk together the olive oil and garlic. Then pour over the flounder. Place a spring of thyme on each piece of flounder.
• Salt, to taste, with sea salt.
• Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

OIL POACHED FLOUNDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, bring the olive oil to 300 to 310 degrees F.
• While the oil is heating, season the flounder fillets on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Lay half of the sliced lemons and half of the parsley in the bottom of a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the fillets in a single layer without overlapping. Lay the seasoned fillets on top of the lemons. Top with the remaining lemons and parsley. Once the oil has reached temperature, gently pour it over the fillets, and place in the oven and poach for 10 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

NORTH AFRICAN-STYLE POACHED EGGS IN TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and onions, cooking until the onions are translucent and the garlic is starting to slightly brown.
• Add the spices and harissa paste, cooking the spices until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened to the point where pressing down with a spoon leaves an indent that holds its shape.
• Taking the back of a large spoon, make 5 large indents into the sauce, using a left-to-right wiggling motion to ensure that the "walls" of the sauce are tall enough to hold an egg.
• Crack the eggs into each of the indents, then cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
• NOTE: To speed the process up, cover the skillet with a large lid.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley, remove from heat, and serve with crusty bread to mop up all the sauce.
• Enjoy!
