9 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 13 cup olive oil
  • 8 to 10 scallions, trimmed (with most of the green left on), cleaned and minced (1 cup)
  • 6 large garlic cloves, peeled and sliced fine (3 tablespoons)
  • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
  • 2 small zucchini (10 ounces), washed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 plum tomatoes (1 pound), halved, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 1/2 cups)
  • 6 pieces cusk, each about 1 1/2 inches thick and weighing about 6 ounces

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat the oil until hot, but not smoking, in one or two skillets with lids.
  2. 2
    Add the scallions and garlic, and saute them for 1 minute.
  3. 3
    Then add the peppers and zucchini and saute for 1 minute.
  4. 4
    Add the salt, pepper and tomato to the skillets, and mix well.
  5. 5
    Add the pieces of fish into the mixture, completely embedding them in the vegetables.
  6. 6
    Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook the fish for about 10 minutes (more or less, depending on the thickness of the fillets).
  7. 7
    The cusk should be just cooked through; overcooking tends to dry it out.
  8. 8
    Serve immediately with the rice and cumin.
