Elevate your white fish dishes with a vibrant and flavorful coriander sauce that adds a burst of freshness and zing to every bite. Whether you’re grilling, baking, or pan-searing your fish, this versatile sauce is the perfect accompaniment. Here’s how to whip up this delicious coriander sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of fresh coriander leaves, tightly packed
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 green chili, deseeded (optional for heat)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing the fresh coriander leaves under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Remove any tough stems, leaving only the tender leaves.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the coriander leaves, garlic cloves, and green chili (if using). Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
  3. Add the lime juice and olive oil to the mixture and blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water to achieve your desired consistency.
  4. Season the coriander sauce with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Serve the coriander sauce alongside grilled, baked, or pan-seared white fish such as cod, haddock, or tilapia. Drizzle the sauce generously over the fish or use it as a dipping sauce for a burst of freshness with every bite.

A pomodoro sauce is an Italian staple, and with tomatoes as its primary ingredient, is a base for many dishes. As a result, it’s important to find a way of crafting a consistently excellent pomodoro. Here are some tips to make sure you can make a perfect pomodoro sauce every time.

Slow Cook

Perhaps the most important thing to consider when making your pomodoro is to cook your ingredients on a long and slow heat. This is especially important for tomato dishes as it helps to release the glutamates within tomatoes and enhances their flavor. You can also cook a big batch of pomodoro and then freeze it, as recooked tomato dishes are always improved upon a second cooking.

Grate Your Tomatoes

If you’re using fresh tomatoes, which will definitely produce the best flavor, one tip you can use is to grate, rather than chop, your tomatoes. This will bring a better texture to your pomodoro, as you will not have any lumps of chopped tomatoes, or the skin of your tomatoes. It is also great for the flavor of your pomodoro as it will cook very evenly!

Simple Ingredients

One of the nice things about cooking and perfecting your pomodoro is that you don’t need many ingredients. At it’s most simple, it can be made with just onions, tomatoes, and olive oil. It will also be delicious with some garlic and basil thrown in at the end. The important thing is not to overcomplicate your sauce by adding spices or sauces. This way, you can focus on getting the best quality tomatoes, which is where the quality of your sauce will really emerge.

When I was a young warthog Iโ€™d spend half of the school holidays at my Nonaโ€™s house, and I learned pretty quickly that EVERY meal included pasta. Every. Single. Night. Well a few weeks back we dinned at @lorimer_market and with dishes like these classics, the memories came flooding back. This place is a Brooklyn secret, and if youโ€™re local to the area, youโ€™re robbing yourself if you donโ€™t drop past and see what they have to offer. Ask about their dinners, and get on the list.

  1. Start boiling water and cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Before you put the pasta in the water, make sure you add a ton of salt for flavor.
  2. Once the pasta goes in the water, you can also put in the broccoli florets. By boiling them before they cook again, they retain their green color and will saute faster.
  3. After a couple of minutes, take the broccoli out and start sauteing it in a pan so it gets a little crispier.
  4. In another pan, heat some olive oil and cook some diced garlic and red chili flakes. Add in regular or vegan butter, white wine, salt, and pepper and cook together for a few minutes.
  5. Once the pasta is done, add immediately to the sauce, and toss in the broccoli as well.
  6. Combine for about a minute as all the flavors meld together.
  7. Serve and enjoy!
