Red-Cooked Cod, Stir-Fried Veggies; flowers

When I was young, just out on my own and newly moved to the ‘city’, a cousin introduced me to ‘torsk’.

She (and everyone else) referred to it as ‘poor man’s lobster’ and it was served with little bowls of melted butter for dipping.

It was sold as torsk in the supermarkets.

That all made it sound so much more appealing than plain old cod, which is what it was.

I think of that every time I buy it here in France. I buy dos de cabillaud which is a long, thick filet – exactly like the torsk I remember.

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Add fish sauté on one side until lightly browned. Turn
• Combine sesame or walnut oil, soy sauce and powdered ginger. Spoon onto fish.
• Sauté until done
• The vegetables:

• Spoon any pan juices on top of fish, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve

Notes

I often use walnut oil (which is very easy to find where I live) rather than sesame oil (which is not). It’s a small amount.
If you want the vegetables more done, reduce heat, cover and let cook for another 5 minutes.

One often sees masses of tulips or daffodils in the spring.

The gardens at this house are different. Looked at all together it’s very pretty, but I really love the way each flower gets to bloom on its own.

The primroses tucked into the side of the bank and the little grape hyacinth nicely contrast with the tulips and daffodils.

It’s a steep bank so would be a challenge to take care of as well.

I’m appreciative….
