Mahi Mahi with Cannellini Bean Ragout


This recipe came from my sister-in-law, Jen, who is a personal Chef. It was absolutely delicious!! The ragout was a perfect compliment to the fish. We didn't end up having extra ragout, but Jen recommended eating it with over-easy eggs for breakfast - I might have to make it just for that! :-) It was so good!!


To Cook Mahi Mahi (2 portions):
 - salt and pepper fish filets (optional to add Cajun seasoning)
 - heat oil in pan and cook fish for 2-3 minutes per side (or until light and flakey)


Ragout:
  • 1Shallot minced, or 1/2 onion minced
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 bunch of kale
  • 1/4 c wine(sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio-not chardonnay) or stock with a squirt of lemon juice
  • 1/2 container cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 can (15 oz or so) white or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
Directions:
  1. Cook fish as instructed above - remove from heat and cover (set aside)
  2. Take the center rib out of the kale, you can pull it or cut it.  Then tear or chop leaves into smaller pieces
  3. Heat oil in a sauté pan.  Sauté the shallot/onion for a minute until it turns translucent, then add garlic.
  4. Add kale to pan and sauté until it wilts.  After about 3 minutes or so, add the wine/stock and continue to cook stirring occasionally. You want to simmer this until the wine is reduced.  This will take a bit-maybe 10 minutes total from the time you added the kale.  Test to make sure the kale is at the tenderness you would like.
  5. Add the cherry tomatoes and beans and toss until heated through.
  6. Serve ragout with the fish (I recommend plating the ragout underneath the fish)
