Star Fish Recipes

STAR FISH

Steps:

• 1. Bring all fish broth ingredients except cod to a boil in a large skillet; reduce to a simmer. Add cod; simmer 7-8 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Gently remove cod to a plate with a slotted spoon; reserve.
• 2. Prepare serving broth: Place olive oil in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Add broth and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let steep, covered, 15 minutes longer. Strain the broth into another saucepan; set aside. Heat before serving.
• 3. Arrange cod, pasta, tomatoes, and broccoli in a pinwheel fashion in each of 4 large bowls. Top each with 1 1/4 cups hot serving broth. Sprinkle with scallions. Place a lime slice in the center of each and garnish with parsley or basil. Serve immediately.

STARFISH BISCUIT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment. In large bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
• Make a well in center of flour mixture; pour in milk. Mix, using a fork, until dough just comes together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface; press to form a 6- to 7-inch-diameter circle.
• Roll out the dough 1/3-inch thick. Cut out with 3 1/2-inch star-shape cookie cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with milk, and sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer biscuits to a wire rack to cool.
• Cut cheese into star shapes. Cut each biscuit in half crosswise. Spread one half with mayonnaise; top with a cheese star. Cover with the other half, and serve.
