A nice little starter that can be cooked in an oven or on a
BBQ.
Baked Cod in a Bag
2 Cod Fillets (1/2 per portion) 2 Garlic Cloves (1/2 per
portion) 2 tablespoons of white wine per portion 1 Lemon 8 -
10 small cherry tomatoes 4 Tablespoons wine Handful of
chopped mixed herbs such as Basil, Parsley, Chives, Dill -
Fresh if possible but if using dried, only use a teaspoons
worth! Salt and Pepper Olive Oil
Using silver foil, make 4 small boat-like structures - large
enough for the edges to fold over half a-cod fillet. Cut
each cod fillet into two and place into the foil parcel.
Pour a tablespoon of wine over each portion. Crush the
garlic and sprinkle evenly over each portion (roughly half a
clove per fillet). Cut the lemon into quarters, squeeze each
quarter over a fillet then add the squeezed wedge to the
foil packet. Cut each cherry tomato in two, then squeeze
slightly over the cod and then add to the foil parcel - 2 to
3 tomatoes per portion. Sprinkle mixed herbs over each
portion Add seasoning and a little dribble of oil. Finally,
seal the package by folding the edges together - this is so
when it cooks, the steam from the wine and cod juices cook
the cod in the foil.
I've cooked this on a barbecue for about 20 mins but is
equally nice cooked in a 200 degrees (c) oven for about 15 -
20 minutes or until the cod flakes nicely but still retains
some moisture.
Lovely served with a simple salad and some boiled, minted,
new potatoes. The sauce from the foil parcel is very nice as
a dressing for the salad.
I also add a little butter with the wine, but this can be
omitted for a low-fat option.
