Fish ‘pepper steaks’



Fish ‘pepper steaks’

Prep: 5 minutes

Cook: 10 minutes

Makes: 4 servings

2 tbsp peppercorns, preferably a mix of black, white, green and pink

4 thick-cut fish fillets (any firm fish)

1 cup dry red wine (or 1 tsp balsamic vinegar mixed in 1 cup of fish stock)

1 tbsp red onions, finely chopped

1 tbsp butter

1 tsp salt

Pinch dried tarragon/2 tbsp parsley
Crush peppercorns lightly to just ‘crack’. Wash fish and pat dry; press peppercorns onto surface to cover.
Heat a non-sticky pan on medium-high heat for five minutes – it should be really hot. Add ‘steaks’, increase heat to high , and sear for two minutes each side. If the pepper coat is disturbed by turning, sear on one side, then transfer fillets gently to grill and cook until done.
Heat pan on medium fire. Add red wine 9or stock) and onions. Cook, stirring, till wine reduces by a third and onions are softned, for about two minutes. Stir in the butter, salt, balsamic vinegar (if using stock) and the crumbled tarragon.
Spoon sauce over fish. Serve with crusty bread and salad or veggies.

Does India Need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion.
