Name: Fish with Garlic Wine Cheese
Date: 06/28/2004
Servings: 2-4
Batches: 1
Cost: $23.00
Cost note: Cost assumes wine was less than $5.00
Meal: Main Dish
Course: Dinner
Feel: Light Food
Ingredients: 1 lb orange ruffy
2 large shallots
6 oz soft Garlic cheese (Alouette cheese spread Garlic
and Herb)
1 cup white wine
3 handfuls of Spring Mix Salad
8 table spoons Blue Cheese Dressing (See notes)
Preparation: Finely chop Shallots and saute with wine in skillet and
bring it to a boil until there is about a 1/4 cup of wine
left.
Remove from heat and mix in cheese until soft and creamy.
Set aside in serving bowl.
Coat a clean skillet with olive oil.
Very lightly salt and pepper (fresh cracked only) fish and
cook fish in skillet (about 4 minutes per side).
Put the spring mix on serving plates and throw the blue
cheese on it.
Transfer fish to serving plates and ring the dinner bell.
If people are smart they will know that the cheese sauce
goes on the fish.
Serve with the rest of the wine.
History: The cheese sauce is Creamy White Wine and Garlic Sauce
sauce from Cooking With Three Ingredients (1996
Quill/Harper Collins) by Andrew Schloss.
Notes: As for the Salad, the cheese sauce also works nicely as a
salad dressing. Never, ever, use iceberg lettuce. If
you have ever read any book on raising rodents like
hamsters, or rabbits you will learn that the first rule
is "DO NOT FEED THEM ICEBERG". Iceberg is evil. It
takes more from the body than it gives. Seriously. It
is all water with no nutritional value and if you were to
depend on it for survival you will die faster than if you
just drank water by its self.
Blue cheese: only by the good stuff. The fewer the
ingredients the better. If you can get organic then buy
that. There is no comparison between Kraft Blue cheese
and the real thing. Huge chunks of blue cheese and
massive amounts of flavor. You will use less of it than
if you pick a cheap brand that is all soybean and canola
oil. You pay for what you get here. You can cheat on
some things but not on Blue Cheese.
Variants: If I do this one over again (and I will) I will throw
some garlic in with the shallots.
