Ingredients

•   4 each (5 ounces) firm white fish fillets, such as halibut, fluke or flounder
•   Salt and fine grounded black pepper
•   3 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced paper thin
•   8 each of Tassos® blue cheese stuffed florinas peppers
• 16 oz of fresh baby spinach (poached)
• 16 each Tassos® pitted kalamata olives
• 12 each Tassos® sun dried tomatoes cut in half
• 16 each small broccoli florets (poached)
•   5 tbsp Tassos® extra virgin olive oil
•   8 whole cloves of garlic
•   1 cup of light chicken stock  

 Directions

1. Cut the fish in 2 inch x 4 inch pieces.  Cut a slit lengthwise in the center of each piece of fish (like a wallet) and stuff each piece of fish with 1 of the Tassos® Stuffed Florinas Peppers and 1oz. of the poached spinach. Season each “wallet” of fish with salt and pepper.

2. With a potato mandolin, cut the potatoes into paper thin slices. On a sheet of parchment paper, lay the potato slices in three rows, starting from left to right, slightly overlapping each potato.  Each row should be approximately 5 inches long. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then wrap each fish tightly with the potato sheet that you have built on the parchment paper.  Repeat until all of the fish “wallets” have been wrapped.

3. Place the potato wrapped fish “wallets” on a piece of  baking sheet lined with parchment paper approximately 3 inches apart.  Lightly brush each potato “wallet” with Tassos® Extra Virgin Olive Oil and bake in a 450 degree oven for 12 minutes.

4. In a sauté pan, combine the broccoli, Tassos® Olives and garlic and sauté with Tassos® Extra Virgin Olive Oil for about 3 minutes. Then add the Tassos® Sun Dried Tomatoes. Add the chicken stock and reduce for 3 more minutes. Serve with the potato crusted fish “wallets.”

Yields: 4 servings

It was about 9:oo pm Chicago time on a Thursday night, as I entered into Gaetano’s restaurant with my box of Tassos® ingredients. With me I had a host of Tassos® olives, red pepper coulis, several tapenades, sundried tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, feta cheese stuffed florinas peppers and blue cheese stuffed florinas peppers and who knows what else. I handed the box over to Chef Gaetano and asked, “What you can make with this?”

The Chef and his Kitchen spun off into a frenzy of energy and activity. In no more than 20 minutes, the Chef had created 4 unique dishes, starting with a salmon Carpaccio drizzled with the red pepper coulis, finished with chili and soy oils and finishing with a recipe that will be featured in Bon Appetite’s on-line Recipe box.
