This is a REAL pleaser. I love it. My kids love it. It's fantastic. And, most of all, it looks hard, and requires nothing more than a blender, a bowl, and a pan of oil. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons of soft butter |
2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped fresh parsley |
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained |
2 garlic cloves, quartered |
2 scallions, chopped coarsely |
8 slices pancetta, italian bacon (hot, or mild see your local small grocery or deli) |
4 (7 ounce) white fish fillets (red snapper works the best) |
1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying) |
Directions:
1. Blend butter with parsley, capers, garlic and scallion until it forms a smooth paste.
2. Spread 1 heaped tablespoon of butter mixture on one side of a fillet of fish. Cover with two (2) slices of the Italian bacon.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet, cook the fish, Italian bacon and butter side down until the bacon is crisp. Turn the fish carefully and finish cooking.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy!
