Emeril's Rockfish with Baby Turnips, Carrots And Parsnips
YIELD 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
| 1 bunch | baby turnips |
| 1 bunch | baby carrots |
| 1 bunch | parsnips |
| 1 | small fennel bulb |
| 4 | baby sweet potatoes unpeeled, or 1 medium sweet potato peeled |
| 1 tablespoon | butter |
| 2 tablespoons | olive oil |
| 4 | whole garlic cloves, peeled |
| 1 bunch | turnip, beet or swiss chard greens, washed and sliced |
| 1 | bay leaf |
| 1 tablespoon | thyme leaves |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| ½ teaspoon | ground white pepper |
| ½ cup | white wine |
| 4 6‑ounce | rockfish filets |
PREPARATION:
- Peel baby turnips, baby carrots and parsnips. Cut turnips and carrots in half and cut the parsnips into ½-inch pieces. Remove the tops of the fennel bulb and discard. Slice bulb into ½-inch pieces. Halve the baby sweet potatoes, or cut the medium sweet potato into 8 pieces.
- In a small Dutch oven, melt butter and olive oil over medium low heat. Add the turnips, carrots, parsnips, fennel, sweet potatoes, garlic cloves, bay leaf and thyme. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes then add the white wine, cover and cook over low heat for another 3 minutes. Add the turnip tops, cover, and cook the vegetables in the oven until crisp-tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Season rockfish with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Remove the lid from the dutch oven and lay fish on top of vegetables. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until fish is opaque and cooked through.
To Serve:
Evenly distribute the vegetables between four warmed plates and top with the steamed rockfish. Serve immediately.
