Italian Family Style Fish

Recipe by Desirée’ Blackstone Betty’ Dukes

Ingredients:

• 2 6-8oz fillets of white fish (Mahi Mahi, grouper, halibut)
• 2 pints grape tomatoes
• 4 fresh garlic cloves
• 1 small onion, white or yellow
• 1 green bell pepper
• flat leaf parsley 
• fresh basil
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil 
• ¼ c Blackstone loaded Italian sear and serve (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Slice tomatoes in half or into quarters. Dice onions and peppers using as much or as little of each of the onions and peppers. Smash and roughly chop garlic. 
2. Preheat a pan, cast iron skillet or throw away aluminum pan, big enough to hold the fish, on medium heat (around 350-375). Drizzle in oil and add the onions and peppers to cook for 3 minutes then add the garlic and tomatoes and torn parsley and basil. Season with salt and pepper tossing to coat in the oil. Cover with a lid or dome and let cook, checking and stirring every few minutes.
3. Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with paper towels, rub a small drizzle of olive oil on and season lightly with salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Sear the presentation side for 1-2 minutes, flip and sear 1-2 minutes and place fish in the center of the tomatoes, cover and let the fish cook through and tomatoes cook down. 
4. Garnish with basil and serve with Italian bread for scooping.
