Today we went to the Saint Paul Farmers' Market, where we bought fresh,fresh scallions, pea shoots, a huge bunch of spinach, some honey, two dozen eggs and apple-cinnamon bacon from Prairie Pride Farm. We also stopped by Lenny Russo's Heartland Farm Direct Market, and bought a whole Lake Superior whitefish, at an incredibly reasonable price. Russo has been a finalist three times for the James Beard award, and we'll find out tomorrow if he will win this time for Midwest chef.
I plan to cook it Chinese style, and I'll use Mark Bittman's recipe:
With Ginger and Soy
Put a large, deep skillet over medium heat; add 2 tablespoons vegetable
oil and 1 tablespoon minced ginger; cook until sizzling. Add fish, ½ cup
soy sauce, 1½ cups water, ½ cup chopped scallions, ½ cup chopped
cilantro and a teaspoon rice vinegar. Boil, cover and turn off heat.
Fish will be done in about 10 minutes. Garnish: Chopped scallions.
