Fish

Carolina Gold Crab Rice

Vegetables

Mint Chimichurri

Method

Preparing the Fish

  1. 1

    Season the Cobia

    Pat the cobia fillet dry with paper towels. Coat both sides with blackening spice evenly.

  2. 2

    Cook the Cobia

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cobia fillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until blackened and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making Carolina Gold Crab Rice

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Add Carolina Gold rice to the saucepan and toast for 1-2 minutes. Pour in water or seafood stock, add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

  3. 5

    Add Crab Meat

    Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the crab meat. Remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.

Preparing Vegetables

  1. 6

    Sauté Broccolini

    In a skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add broccolini and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from the skillet.

  2. 7

    Cook Collard Greens

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped collard greens and sauté for 5-7 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Making Mint Chimichurri

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together chopped mint, parsley, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and let sit for at least 10 minutes for flavors to meld.
