Prosciutto Wrapped Cod With Beans Recipes

BEANS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• One doesn't want to wade too deep into canape land, but I would feel I was doing less than my duty if I didn't faithfully report my other most-relied-upon-starter-stand-in: beans wrapped in prosciutto. I saw these little bundles of green beans tied around the middle with Parma ham in an Italian delicatessen and went straight back home and made my own.
• Top and tail some green beans and cook them in boiling salted water. Remember that the beans need decent cooking, not mere dunking in hot water. Drain them, wait for them to cool, dip them in balsamic vinegar, then cut raggedy thin slices of Parma ham in strips and tie them round the bean-bundles.

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.

BAKED COD WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F. Pat dry the cod fillets with paper towels and remove any stray bones.
• Place filet onto a rimmed baking sheet and fold the thin sides onto the filet to create a uniformly thick filet. Season all sides with salt and pepper and drizzle each side with 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
• Place strips of prosciutto over the filet overlapping the slices as you go to avoid any gaps in prosciutto. Tuck the layers underneath the filet. The ends do not need to be fully covered.
• Place tomatoes in a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, and drizzle with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine.
• Add seasoned tomatoes to the baking sheet around the fish and bake at 425˚F for 35 minutes or until the center of the fish reaches 145F on an instant-read thermometer. The fish should be flaky in the thickest part of the filet. Cool for 5 minutes then slice into portions with a serrated knife and spoon pan juices over the slices to serve.

GREEN BEANS WITH SHALLOTS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and prosciutto; cook until prosciutto begins to crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove mixture to a plate and set aside.
• Add remaining butter to the skillet and add haricots verts. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes, then add water and cover. Let green beans steam until most of the water is absorbed, about 4 minutes. Season with salt.
• Remove green beans to a nice serving dish; top with the shallots and prosciutto.

4-INGREDIENT PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wrap a slice of prosciutto around 10 green beans *(see first note) before placing them spaced apart on the baking sheet in a single layer.
• Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over each prosciutto wrapped green bean bundle. Then sprinkle black pepper on top of each bundle.
• Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the prosciutto is crisp and the green beans are tender-crisp.
• Best served immediately *(see second note).

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED COD WITH LEMONY SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Season cod with salt and pepper. Wrap 1 slice prosciutto around each fillet; rub with 1 teaspoon oil, and place, seam side down, on a broilerproof baking sheet. Broil until prosciutto is browned and fish is opaque throughout, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add as much spinach as will fit in skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing and adding more spinach as there is room, until wilted and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice; toss to combine. Serve cod with spinach and lemon wedges.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD

Steps:

• Season the fish on both sides with salt and pepper. Wrap 1 wide or 2 thin slices of prosciutto around each piece of cod. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over a medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the prosciutto is crisp and the fish is cooked through. Serve.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FISH WITH LEMON-CAPER BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mash together the butter, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice and garlic until combined.
• Pat fish dry with paper towels and season with pepper. Spread butter mixture over top of fillets. Slightly overlap two pieces of prosciutto on work surface. Lay fish butter side down in center of prosciutto, then fold the prosciutto over the fish. Repeat for all fillets.
• Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet (either non-stick or well-seasoned cast iron) over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add prosciutto-wrapped fillets, seam side down/butter side up) and brown for 1-2 minutes per side.
• Transfer skillet to oven and bake until fish (not covered by prosciutto) flakes when gently pressed, about 8 minutes.
• Spoon any pan juices over fillets when serving.

JAMON-WRAPPED COD WITH BORLOTTI BEAN STEW

Steps:

• If using dried, soaked borlotti beans, drain them in a colander and place in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 40 minutes, until tender (skip this step if using tinned beans, as they're already cooked.)
• Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas 7.
• Drain the beans in a colander, tip into a bowl and cover. Place the red peppers on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes, or until tender and the skins have blackened.
• Remove from the oven and place in a sealable bag. Shake for a bit, then leave for 5 minutes or until the bag is filled with steam. Tip the peppers onto a wooden board and remove the skins and seeds with your fingers or a knife. Roughly chop the peppers and place in a bowl; set aside. Lower the oven to 200ºC/gas 6.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves, pick and finely chop the parsley and roughly chop the kale.
• Using a pestle and mortar, pound the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley and half of the paprika for a few minutes. Transfer to a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of oil and season generously.
• Arrange the jamón slices on a large wooden board so that they overlap, then place your cod in the middle.
• Spoon the breadcrumb mixture along the length of the cod on each side, then fold the meat slices over the top, creating a log-shaped parcel. Tie up tightly with string, tucking a bay leaf under each knot.
• Transfer to a lightly oiled baking tin and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the cod is cooked and the jamón is crisping up.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the borlotti beans, peppers and kale. Season and add the rest of the paprika. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 15 minutes, then transfer to a platter.
• Place the cod parcel on top and serve immediately, cutting the cod into thick slices with a sharp knife.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD WITH ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/375F.
• Season the fish with salt and pepper, then gently wrap tightly each cod fillet with a slice of prosciutto. Brush each fillet with a little olive oil then place on a baking tray.
• In a bowl, mix together the tomatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, oregano and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and gently mix until tomatoes are well coated.
• Place the tomatoes on the tray, pouring over them any leftover dressing.
• Bake in the oven in the middle shelf for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is opaque and cooked through (it should flake easily).
• Remove the fish from the oven and set aside on a warm plate. Move the tray on the top shelf and continue to cook the tomatoes for a further 4-5 min.
• Remove from the oven, arrange the fish back in the tray and sprinkle with few basil leaves (optional).
• Serve to the table family-style directly from the tray.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED COD WITH BEANS

Steps:

• Season cod with salt and pepper. Wrap 2 slices prosciutto around each cod fillet, overlapping them slightly and setting each piece seam-side down. 2 In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add wrapped cod fillets, seam-side down, and cook until the prosciutto is crispy on bottom side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip fillets and cook until the second side is crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the cod fillets reads 140°F, about 4 minutes longer (reduce heat if cod threatens to burn). Transfer fish to a paper towel-lined plate, tent with foil, and set aside. 3 Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and return to medium-high heat until shimmering. Add shallot and a pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in thyme and oregano and cook for 30 seconds. 4 Add crumbled chorizo and cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Add beans and broth and cook, scraping up the brown bits in the pan, until chorizo is cooked through, beans are softened, and liquid is reduced, about 3 minutes. Place code filets on top of mixture, cover, and heat through for 1 minute. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

FILLET OF COD WITH ASPARAGUS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cook asparagus in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl of ice water to cool. Drain well.
• Mash garlic and 1 teaspoon salt to paste in small bowl. Melt butter with 1 tablespoon oil in small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic paste; stir until pale golden, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, peel, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 500°F. Cut out six 12-inch squares of parchment paper. Place 1 parchment square on work surface. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over parchment. Place 1 cod fillet in center of parchment. Spoon 1/6 of garlic-lemon mixture over fish. Cover with 1/6 of asparagus spears. Arrange 1/6 of prosciutto slices over. Fold 2 opposite sides of parchment in over fish and vegetables, then fold in remaining 2 sides, enclosing completely. Fasten parchment edges together with paper clips to seal packet. Place on large rimmed baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining parchment, oil, fish, garlic-lemon mixture, asparagus, and prosciutto. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Refrigerate.)
• Bake fish until just opaque in center (parchment will turn golden brown), about 12 minutes. Transfer 1 parchment packet to each of 6 plates. Open parchment packets and serve.
