DATE NIGHT FOR 6

[jwhyt...@comcast.net]

My date nights are turning into "Couples Nights" ! Last Friday we
feasted on Blackened Orange roughy served on a bed of creamy corn
polenta w/ a fire roasted red pepper and tomato ragout- and a black
bean/corn relish....It received rave reviews so get out your pots and
pans!! You can use any kind of white flaky fish although I suggest
something slightly thick as to hold up on the polenta...I had this
dish on a business trip to Seattle last year and I've been thinking
about it ever since- only a sincere foodie does this by the
way...So...of course I called the restaurant I was at and spoke to the
Sous Chef- who was delighted to share the recipe- if you ever get to
Seattle- the name of the restaurant is Elliots- right in downtown
Seattle-on the waterfront- A Must!! The chef uses "Rock" fish but he
said on the East coast you may want to use Snapper, Sea Bass or any
fish that is similiar...Blacken the fish w/ your favorite seasoning-
I made my own w/ garlic powder,paprika,onion powder,cumin,salt,pepper
and dill-simple stuff! Make your polenta according to instructions but
I used "epicurious" recipe- they have a GREAT one-It never fails-it's
on their website...www.epicurious.com. For the red sauce- I used the
jarred roasted red peppers and they have jarred fire roasted tomatoes-
cook these together in a sauce pan and add your seasonings- oregano,
garlic and a little white wine vinegar-when it's nice and flavorful
put aside and make your black bean/corn relish...mix corn-(you can use
frozen) and a can of black beans- saute them together -taste for salt
and pepper- a few drop of vinegar or lime juice. when your ready to
plate -up- Place creamy polenta in center of plate- top w/blackened
fish and ladle red sauce around the outside of polenta- top w/ relish-
VERY NICE!!! Don't forget the Icy COLD Corona!

Your meal sounds great. It seemed like it was quick and easy to
prepare. I love having friends over on Friday night. Most Friday
nights there is something going on at my house. The summer home as
Tinamarie likes to call it. More about that later.
