Shellfish Broth

Grain Porridge

Cod + Brown Butter

Method

Shellfish Broth

  1. 1

    Make the Shellfish Broth

    In a large pot, combine water, crab shells, onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 30-40 minutes. Strain the broth and set aside.

Grain Porridge

  1. 2

    Cook the Grain Porridge

    In a separate pot, combine quinoa or rice with water or broth and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook according to package instructions until grains are tender.

Cod + Brown Butter

  1. 3

    Cook the Cod

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it starts to brown. Season cod fillets with salt and pepper, then place in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
