availableGlass of chilled white wine Fresh milk (to wash fish in) Paprika Parsley or watercress for garnish

PROCEDURE-SOUR CREAM FISH

1. Soak fish briefly (5 to 10 minutes) in milk to remove excess fishy odor. Discard milk. Place fish in generously buttered baking dish, arranging fillets to make a uniform thickness. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Measure thickness for estimating cooking time. Drink the wine.

2. Slice onions to make onion rings. Cover fish with one layer of onion rings. Slice limes into 1/4" poker chip shapes and place one layer of limes over the onion layer.

3. Tightly cover baking dish with aluminum foil or lid and bake in preheated 450 degree oven. Cook the fish 10 minutes for each 1" of thickness, 7 minutes for 3/4", etc. Fish is done when it turns white and flakes easily.

4. Remove the aluminum foil or lid and coat the fish with a thick layer of sour cream, dusting with paprika for appearance. Return to oven uncovered for a few minutes to lightly brown or thoroughly heat the sour cream. Not all sour creams actually brown. Garnish and serve.

PASTA DISHES

PASTA PUTTANESCA

INGREDIENTS-PASTA PUTTANESCA 1/8-1/4 cup pancetta, finely diced 3 tablespoons olive oil 5-8 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1 large can (approx 35oz) whole peeled Italian tomatoes 1 dozen oil-cured black olives, pitted and chopped 3 anchovies, finely mashed (optional) 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar a pinch red hot pepper

flakes 2 tablespoons each fresh basil and oregano 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (save a little for sprinkling) 1 bay leaf Romano or Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling) 1 lb pasta, cooked according to package directions salt

and pepper, to taste

PROCEDURE-PASTA PUTTANESCA1. In a large skillet, sauté pancetta over low heat in olive oil until soft and

translucent; bring heat up and allow to pancetta to brown slightly on edges.

2. Add garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, parsley and olives. Mash the anchovies well into the oil, using the tines of a fork. Tip: You can do this with the garlic after it's cooked, too, if you want to avoid having to mince them - just leave the cloves whole and mash them into the oil when they take on a little light coloring. Be careful not to let garlic brown or the oil with be bitter.

3. When garlic begins to take on the slightest color and herbs permeate the air, add the can of whole tomatoes (including the juice in the can). Submerge the bay leaf in the sauce.

4. Simmer over medium-low heat, with just the occasional lazy bubble surfacing for 20 minutes or so, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly. Stir in wine vinegar during final 10-15 minutes of cooking. Taste and adjust seasonings.

5. Meanwhile, as sauce simmers, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions and drain.

6. In a large bowl, combine pasta with enough sauce to coat. Add a little of the pasta cooking water if sauce is too thick, or a teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle pasta with a little fresh parsley and cheese before serving. (Remove bay leaf before serving).

7. Cooks Note: Always use a good quality wine vinegar, and don't substitute white or cider vinegar, although good balsamic vinegar or a full bodied red wine can be used for variation. Chopped pork or salt pork may be substituted for pancetta, but with different (but still good) results.
