Baked Miso-marinated Swordfish with Bok Choy, Shiitake, and Rice Vermicelli in a Miso Broth

Tonight, I made a new dish for my wife, who had never had swordfish. Well, Trader Joe’s makes that easy to solve so I came up with this mouthful of a meal for her. Using the basics from several ‘miso marinated cod’ recipes to prepare the fish and twisting the final dish by serving it on a bed of rice vermicelli in a miso broth with bok choy and shiitake just to create a unique, yet simple meal. Marinating the fish was made easier with my Vesta Precision Vertical Vac Elite and it’s Marinate function and vertical stance to make easy work of marinating with liquids when time is not available for the typical ‘several hours to overnight rest’ process…

Dominican Sancocho

Recently, my wife Ana surprised me with a delicious Dominican dish – sancocho. This stew of beef, chicken, sausage, potato, yucca, plantain, squash, corn, and more is a veritable ‘stick to your ribs’ type of meal. Sumptuous and satisfying, this treat is a labor of love and usually served on special occasions simply with white rice. Well, I can say this – it was a special occasion to come and find this dinner waiting for me!  Now to work on the recipe… Thank you baby, te amo mas cariño mio! Enjoy…
