Hello there! Yes I know, I've been slacking on my blogger game. Well I'm back today and here with a great (and Oeats tested) recipe to share! This recipe is light and perfect for a late summer night dinner. Hope you enjoy! (Also, feel free to double or triple the portions, this recipe yield is for two!)
Ingredients
For the fries:
3 small yams or sweet potatoes
Pink Peppercorn (ground)
Pepper (regular - ground)
Salt (to taste)
Oil (for sprinkling)
White wine vinegar (for sprinkling)
For the fish:
2 fresh (WILD!) cod filets
2 eggs - organic preferred :)
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon red chili flakes (okay, so I like things with spice... downgrade this amount if you can't take the heat!)
Oil for frying - cold pressed olive oil is a healthier alternative to canola but canola is the typical frying oil
2 teaspoons capers
Directions:
For fries:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel and slice the sweet potatoes
Drizzle with enough olive oil to coat and toss so oil covers each fry.
Spread fries out so none touch (SUPER important, otherwise they won't crisp properly!)
Sprinkle pink pepper corns, pepper and salt over the fries.
Douse in a healthy coating of olive oil (helps them crisp up.)
Bake in oven about 40 minutes or until they reach desired level of crisp!
Now while the fries are baking.... (start making fish about 10 minutes before fries are done...)
First, crank up your stove to medium-high heat and put a pan on the fire so it can heat up.
In a bowl, crack 2 eggs and whisk until combined.
In another bowl mix flour, salt, pepper and chili flakes.
Dip cod filet in egg mixture then dip in flour bowl, shaking off any excess flour after coating both sides of the fish.
Add oil to now hot pan, enough to form about 1/2 inch pool of oil throughout the bottom of the pan.
Place cod filets in the oil and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the surfaces turn golden brown.
Plate the cod and sweet potato fries and sprinkle with capers. (The saltiness of the capers combined with the spice of the filet is heavenly! Also, a nice ode to the sea...)
Hope you enjoy!
