Beautiful cod fillets were looking at me this afternoon from the fish counter in Waitrose, one has been purchased and prepared for a simple supper this evening.  Good Food suggested a tomato sauce, based on a sauteed red onion,with a splash of soy sauce and some brown sugar, all this drowned in a can of good tomatoes. It does need some seasoning and some body, I decided having tasted it, it needs to be a sauce worthy of a £8.45 of cod fillet. So I sexied it up a bit with chilli oil and was pretty generous with fresh thyme from the garden. Quickly fried fillets were finished off in the sauce under the lid. I served them with delicious fried potatoes, boiled earlier in the afternoon, then sliced and browned all over while the cod was getting ready. Simple, light, nice.

The pud, a tiramisu with a twist. The biscuits quickly soaked in a boozy, coffee mixture, as usual, 2 egg yolks whipped with sugar, vanilla paste and the mascarpone, as usual, but I wanted to serve it in a different way, then the wet mixture that has to be eased out with a spoon. I lined the long cake tin with cling film, then lined up the biscuits, the cream, plus, toasted chopped pecan nuts. I wanted it to look a bit like  a pate, that I could slice and serve that way. It worked! But one thing that could have been done better, would be some fresh raspberries on top. It would be a great contrast to the sweetness. I still have almost a half of the tin, might try the raspberry thing tomorrow. Photo proof tomorrow then! 🙂
