Full of summer flavors, this recipe from Eating Well has made-from-scratch creamed corn, delicious pan-seared halibut and juicy tomatoes – a five-star dinner that is so easy to make!  If you’re not familiar with them, you can learn more here.

For this recipe, I used my Kernel Cutter,Garlic Peeler & Slicer Set, and Quick Slice:

Kernel Cutter

The Kernel Cutter’s curved and serrated stainless blade quickly removes kernels from cobs, and the plastic husker blade slices through corn silks and husks. The large ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip and easy maneuverability.

Garlic Peeler & Slicer Set

If you avoid cooking with fresh garlic because you don’t like garlic-scented hands, the Garlic Peeler & Slicer Set lets you peel and slice garlic instantly, without touching raw garlic. All you have to do is pop a few cloves into the peeler and roll it over a hard surface. Voila, the peels come off like magic! Put the peeled cloves into the slicer and twist to create perfectly even, thin slices of garlic.

Garlic Peeler

  • 5″.
  • White flexible silicone tube.
  • Dishwasher-safe.
  • One-year guarantee.

Garlic Slicer

  • 2¼” x 3½”.
  • White.
  • Two separate wells each fit 1–2 garlic cloves.
  • Disassembles for cleaning; snaps back together easily.
  • Also slices chocolate, nuts, and hard cheese.
  • Dishwasher-safe.

Quick Slice

Cut Ingredients Without Squishing

The Quick Slice cuts your favorite fruits and vegetables into even slices with one simple motion. The unique, V-shaped blades won’t squish soft foods while cutting, and it’s big enough to slice halves of avocado, a ball of fresh mozzarella, or a bunch of strawberries or mushrooms all at one time. It’s the perfect tool for people who love salads or sheet-pan meals. The BPA-free plastic handles surround the stainless steel blades, so you can quickly and comfortably slice ingredients.

Sous Vide Garlic Butter Halibut – Izzy Cooking

Normally, I try to feature a variety of different bloggers and recipes, but apparently, I liked Izzy Cooking so much, I’m back with them already!  You can learn more about Izzy here, and check out the other recipe of theirs I’ve recently reviewed, crème brûlée, here.  The only thing I changed in this recipe is using Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub in place of the fresh garlic. 

Here’s a quick Sous Vide refresher:

Sous Vide is a method of cooking foods in a water bath at a precisely controlled (lower) temperature for an extended period time. The results speak for themselves. You won’t ever worry about overcooking an expensive cut of meat, it will come out perfectly tender and juicy, based on the temperature YOU select, every single time. So far, I notice also that using the sous vide method leaves me time to do other things, as it’s a matter of placing your food in a reusable or zip top bag and into the water, pressing START and it does its thing.

Sous Vide and Seafood

The sous vide method of cooking is a fantastic way to preserve the texture and flavor of your seafood, without ever overcooking.  It is also one of the most nutritious methods of cooking, since we are using a lower temperature, we will be retaining more nutrients.  Also, it’s just so darn easy, you definitely should give it a try.  Okay, let’s jump right in!!

Ingredients

  • 1-pound fresh halibut filet
  • ¾ teaspoon Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Fill the inner pot of the Deluxe Multi Cooker with water 1″ below the ½ fill line. Lock the lid and select SOUS VIDE. Set the temperature to 132° F and the timer for 1 hour; press and hold START.

Slice lemon into about 5-6 slices.

Season Halibut with salt and pepper to taste.  Sprinkle with Crushed Peppercorn and Garlic Rub, add thyme and butter to each filet. 

Place lemons is a reusable or zip top freezer bag, then add halibut over the lemon in one layer.  Use more bags as needed if you are not able to cook in one layer. 

When you hear beeps and ADD is displayed on the DMC, open the lid and submerge the bag gently in water using the water displacement method. 

Water Displacement method – seal the bag almost all the way, leaving a small corner open.  Slowly submerge the bag into the water, gently pressing to help air escape.  Seal bag when food is completely submerged (but NOT the top of the bag), seal the bag.

Lock the lid and press START. It will display the word “RUN”.

Cooking times:

  • If your filets are 1’ thick, cook between 30-45 minutes
  • If your filets are 1.5” thick, cook between 45-60 minutes

When the timer is up (or when you are finished cooking based on thickness), press CANCEL. Carefully remove the bag. Use a fish spatula to gently remove halibut from bag and onto plate or board.  Pat dry and let rest a few minutes.

Heat your skillet over medium-high heat, adding one tablespoon butter.  When butter is foaming, add halibut to skillet and sear about 30 seconds until lightly browned. Remove from pan immediately.

Garnish with parsley, if desired.  Serve with lemon wedges.

That’s it!  This is a great recipe if you’re just starting out with sous vide, easy and oh, so delicious and buttery!  Definitely head over to Izzy Cooking and show them some love, tell them I said hello!

Fish Tacos With Chipotle Cream – Food Network (Video)

Spring is here, and I find myself thinking about summer more and more.  I love summer foods, and I guess I include tacos in my daydreams.  Fish tacos are easy to make and pretty healthy, too.  This recipe is from Ellie Krieger over at Food Network and, although we found the chipotle cream to be a bit spicy, we can adjust that for next time, so I decided to share this recipe with all of you.  Let’s jump right in!

Fish:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-pound white flaky fish fillet, like tilapia or halibut
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded green cabbage or lettuce
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges

Chipotle Cream:

  • ½ cup plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons chipotle pepper, in adobo sauce

Directions:

In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Pour over the fish fillets and let marinate for 20 minutes.

Shred cabbage to make 1 ½ cups.

In a small bowl combine the thickened yogurt, mayonnaise, and chipotle pepper.

Remove the fish from the marinade and grill on a preheated grill or nonstick grill pan over a medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Set the fish aside on a plate for 5 minutes.

Heat the tortillas in the Tortilla Warmer for 30 seconds, OR on the grill or grill pan for 30 seconds on each side. Flake the fish with a fork. Top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon of the chipotle cream. Top with fish, cabbage, corn and cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

That’s it! Like I said, the cream was a bit too spicy for us, but you could definitely dial it back if you needed to, and the rest of it was very tasty.
