Cod (or Chicken) with Lemon Pistachio Herb Relish
serves 4-6
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1½ - 2 pounds cod fillets or boneless skinless chicken breasts
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 lemon, zested (1 tablespoon) and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup finely chopped roasted salted pistachios
- ¼ cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil onto a rimmed baking sheet and spread evenly with a silicone brush.
If using chicken, if breasts are large, cut in half to make cutlets. Place on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap, then pound out to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Alternately, you may purchase thin-slice chicken breasts. Place chicken or cod on the oiled baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Top with lemon slices.
Roast until fish or chicken is cooked through, 12-15 minutes, depending on their size. (internal temp should be145° for fish and 165˚F for poultry)
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine pistachios, parsley, mint, shallot, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, salt and pepper. Top fish or chicken with Lemon Pistachio Herb Relish, serve immediately.
Orange & Pistachio Shortbread Cookies
Yields 60 cookies
- 12 oz unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large orange, zested
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 ½ cups flour
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
Combine the butter, powdered sugar, and orange zest in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix them together on medium-low speed just until the sugar is incorporated, and the butter is smooth. Add the cardamom, salt and flour, and mix on low speed until only a few flour streaks remain. Add the pistachios and mix to combine evenly.
Scrape the cookie out onto a lightly floured surface, divide in half and form 2 discs. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate it until firm, for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove one disc from the refrigerator. Roll out between two sheets of lightly floured parchment, until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Cut into squares or rectangles with a bench scraper or knife. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets. The cookies won't spread very much while baking, so you don't need to leave too much room between them. When you've cut out all the cookies you can, combine the dough back together, re-roll it, and return it to the refrigerator to chill while the first batch bakes.
Bake the cookies at 350 F for about 12 minutes, until they've lost the raw shine in the middle and the edges are very slightly colored. Remove the tray from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Roll out the second half of the dough just as you did the first, and continue to roll, cut, and bake the cookies until all are baked.

Saute for 2 minutes, then add the chicken bouillon, water, milk, tomatoes, cheddar soup, cumin and paprika.

Add the Velveeta cheese a little at a time, stirring constantly. Taste for seasoning to see if you would like more salt or pepper.
