    But my most often used pepper mill is a U$1.49 jar of black
    peppercorns with a grinder top I picked up on a whim at the grocery
    store. Bv)=

    This is what I normally pick up for the trailer every spring. It lasts the season (5 months) and if there's any left I bring it home and use
    it up quick.

    If I'd known I was going to wind up in the body & fender when I went to
    my croaker for a hospital visit follow up. He looked at me, listened to my lungs and told me "Go to the Emergency Room.I'll call and have them set
    things up. I'd have stopped on the way and picked up a salt and papper
    set. They sure are stingy with it here. The food is good Yesterday I had
    cod almondine - which I'll make for myself when I get sent home.

    It's just not as cost effective as I get a big jug of rainbow
    peppercorns from a bulk store and grind away. :) Plus I like the
    rainbow mix and I always add some (I won't even come close to spelling this right) sezishwon peppercorns to the mix for a big of numbing.

    There are two common spellings for that Szechuan and Sichuan. Either way you spell it they're zippy little barstids.

    Title: Cod Almondine
    Categories: Seafood, Breads, Nuts, Herbs
    Yield: 6 servings

    3/4 c Panko breadcrumbs
    1/3 c Sliced almonds
    3 tb Salted butter; melted
    2 tb Chopped parsley
    Salt & black pepper
    1/3 c A-P flour
    6 (6 oz ea) cod fillets
    1/2 c Mayonnaise
    Juice of 1 lemon

    Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond

    Set the oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.

    In a small bowl, combine the panko and almonds. Drizzle
    in the melted butter and toss until well combined.

    Add the parsley and toss it in ...

    Then stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 ts pepper.

    Put the flour in a shallow dish and add a pinch each of
    salt & pepper. Stir to combine.

    Dredge both sides of the fish in the flour, shaking off
    any excess.

    Spread a generous tablespoon of mayonnaise over each
    piece of fish . . .

    And sprinkle the crumb mixture on top, pressing lightly
    to make sure it sticks.

    Bake until the crumbs are golden and the fish is flaky,
    16 to 18 minutes.

    Squeeze the lemon juice on top and serve.

    HINT: Add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese to the crumb
    mixture for an added layer of flavour.

    Makes: Six portions

    Title: Gigot Of Monkfish Romarin w/Anchovies
    Categories: Fat ladies, Seafood, Herbs, Citrus
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 1/4 lb Monkfish tail
    1 Tin anchovy filets
    6 tb Olive oil
    Juice of 1 lemon
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    1 lg Bunch fresh rosemary

    MMMMM---------------------TOMATO VINAIGRETTE--------------------------
    10 tb Olive oil
    4 ts Wine vinegar
    4 ts Fine chopped tomatoes

    Using a larding needle or a sharp knife, make slits in
    the fish and insert pieces of anchovy. Marinate the fish
    in a mixture of oil and lemon juice, seasoned with salt
    and pepper, for at least 2 hours.

    Lay the fish on a large bed of rosemary in a roasting
    tin. Pour more oil over the fish (It is the presence of
    fat that releases the essential oils of the rosemary).
    Roast in a 350oF/175oC oven for 45 minutes.

    To make the tomato vinaigrette, heat the ingredients
    in a small pan and season to taste.

    Transfer the fish to a serving dish and pour over the
    warm vinaigrette.

    Prep Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

    Cooking Time: 45 minutes
