Emeril's Steamed Rockfish with Fava Bean-Chorizo Ragout

YIELD 4 to 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 links smoked chorizo, sliced into rounds
2 links fresh chorizo, whole
1 onion, sliced
2 cups Fava beans, peeled
4 cups vegetable broth
2 pounds rockfish filet, skin on
1 tablespoon Essence
1/4 cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1/2 pound yucca, cooked in boiling salted water until tender

PREPARATION:

Method:

  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the sausage and onion together for 1 to 2 minutes, until the onions start to soften. Add the Fava beans and the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the sausage is almost cooked through and the Fava beans are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

To Serve

  1. Cut the rockfish into 4 serving size portions. Season with Essence. Remove the lid from the pot and place the fish on top of the ragout. Sprinkle with parsley. Return the lid to the pot and continue cooking for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, until fish is opaque and cooked though.

    Add the cooked yucca to the pot and heat through. Serve immediately.
