Cod, coriander, tomato & garlic parcels recipe
- 4 Pieces skinless, boneless cod fillet, about 150g each
- 4 Garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Large tomatoes, sliced
- 1 Small handful of coriander, leaves only, chopped
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6 and bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil.
- Pat the fish dry with kitchen towel, season with slat and set aside.
- Blanch the garlic in the boiling water for 2 minutes, then refresh in cold water and pat dry.
- That way it will cook in the same time as the fish once it is en papillotte.
- Put four 46 x 25cm/18 x 10in rectangles of greaseproof paper on your work surface and drizzle them with half the olive oil.
- Next, you need to arrange the ingredients on one half of the paper, so that you will be able to fold the other half over them afterwards.
- Start with a few slices of tomato on each piece of paper and divide half the coriander over them, then season with salt and pepper.
- Put the pieces of cod fillet on top of the tomatoes, then add the blanched garlic and the rest of the coriander and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- Fold the paper over the filling and then fold along the edges to seal securely.
- Make sure the parcels are well sealed so that none of the liquid is lost.
- Put the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to rest for 2 minutes before opening.
- Now comes the rush of aromas - open each parcel, taking care not to lose any of the juices, and serve with coriander-scented rice.
- Squeeze the tender garlic out of its skin for an extra delicious flavour.
- Serve with steamed or boiled rice mixed with a handful of chopped coriander leaves.
