Blue Apron ~ Seared Barramundi

After nearly a month of travel, I am back home and cooking again.  I had never heard of Barrumundi.  Apparently it is a fish found in Northern Australia and Southeast Asia.  It is sometimes called Asian Sea Bass.  The name "barramundi" comes from an Aboriginal word meaning "large-scaled silver fish."

Seared Barrumundi was on the menu tonight.  It was served over a saute of fregola sarda pasta that was mixed with collard greens.  The fish was then topped with a shallot Agrodolce.  Agrodolce was another first for me.  It is a traditional sweet and sour sauce common in Italian cuisine.

This Agrodolce was made with Shallots, golden raisins, honey, red wine vinegar and red pepper flakes.  It was fabulous!  A definite winner.

Blue Apron ~ Seared Chicken and Fregola Sarda

This meal of seared chicken and fregola sarda with salsa verde, corn and tomato, was very tasty.  The fresh corn added a nice crunch texture to the fregola sarda pasta.  The chicken was topped with a fresh salsa verde made with parsley, garlic paste, capers, and parmesan cheese.

The recipe called for boneless skin-on chicken breasts, but I had 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, so have chicken left over.
