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.

I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind...   Anyway, let us look at some facts -  Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Si

But what I felt wasn't true and I'd never known that trait of hers which never matched mine had such a reason behind it. She never liked to talk or be familiar to the opposite sex. I found this irritating but I just used to remember all her other traits which brought her close to me and made her one of the closest beings to me on this Earth. As she and I had got very close in friendship that we began sharing secrets which we never thought would come out of our mind. And I thought I understood her as I thought she was me. Then one day as we were alone in my room I asked her why she was so unfamiliar and irritat
