Acqua Pazza

Cooking fish in Acqua Pazza, or "insane water" is an incredible method to guarantee you end up with a moist, delicious dish. This formula was brought back from my island of Capri, where the little tomatoes, or pomodorini are utilized in the sauce to cook the fish. We utilized cod in this formula, however you could utilize any substantial whitefish fillets.  

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Small Onion, Finely Chopped
  • 2 Garlic Clove, Minced
  • 1 Carrot, Finely Chopped
  • 1 Celery Stick, Finely Chopped
  • 2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
  • 1 1/2 Cups Dry White Wine
  • 3 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Parsly
  • 2 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Fresh Basil
  • 3 Tablespoons Capers
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Dash Of Red Pepper Flakes (Or 1/2 Hot Red Pepper Finely Chopped)
  • 2 Pounds Whitefish Fillets (See Notes Above)

TO GARNISH:

  • 1/4 Cup Fresh, Chopped Parsley
  • 2 Teaspoons Coarsely Grated Lemon Zest

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a heavy, ovenproof pan, heat the oil.
  3. Add the onion, celery, carrot and garlic, and cook until it is tender.
  4. Add the wine, parsely, basil, seasonings, capers and tomatoes, and bring to a boil.
  5. Add the fish fillets, and spoon some of the hot vegetables over them and then bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the fillets are completely cooked.
  6. Taste once more, and adjust seasonings if needed.
  7. Serve the fillets in individual bowls, and spoon a good helping of the tomato mixture into each bowl.
  8. Sprinkle each dish with the fresh parsley and lemon, and serve with some good crusty bread to soak up the tasty juices.
