Three Pepper Medley with Cod
This is the dinner I just ate. If you wanted to make it you would need:
1 yellow pepper
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
2 heirloom tomatoes- 1 red with green stripes and one yellow with red stripes)
(or any combination of colors and stripes...I'm not some sort of color dictator)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 cloves of garlic
3 teaspoons ginger powder
1 cod fillet
1 egg
small amounts of flour, salt and lemon
Coat the fillet in flour, then dip it in a beaten egg, then recoat it with flour (add a little salt and any other spice to the flour to zest things up if you like). Turn your oven to broil.
Cut in thicker slices than julienne (does that make sense?) one half of each color pepper. Cut the tomatoes however you please (I sliced mine).
In a skillet heat one tablespoon sesame oil and three cloves garlic. Once the garlic is sizzling add the peppers (while simultaneously putting the cod in the oven) and after stirring them around for a few minutes, add the tomatoes. Cook on high heat for about five minutes then turn the heat to low. Check on the fish, it's ready when it's ready (I knew mine was ready by checking its temperature and seeing that it was 150 degrees on the inside). When the cod is cooked to your liking put it on a plate and drape the peppers around it as you like. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the whole thing. I found that the peppers needed a bit of salt.
