    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

Broth for cooking fish:

1 1/4 cups defatted chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
6 sprigs fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
3 black peppercorns and 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 slice of lime
1 pound cod, cut into 2-inch pieces

Broth for serving:

1 tablespoon each olive oil, minced ginger and minced garlic
5 cups defatted chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 ounces angel-hair pasta, cooked
2 ripe medium-sized tomatoes, seeded and cut into 8 pieces each
1 head of broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds), cut into florets and blanched
4 scallions (3 inches of green left on), sliced on the diagonal, for garnish
4 thin lime slices
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley or slivered basil, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Bring all fish broth ingredients except cod to a boil in a large skillet; reduce to a simmer. Add cod; simmer 7-8 minutes or until fish is cooked through. Gently remove cod to a plate with a slotted spoon; reserve.

    Step 2

    2. Prepare serving broth: Place olive oil in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add ginger and garlic; cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Add broth and cook, partially covered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let steep, covered, 15 minutes longer. Strain the broth into another saucepan; set aside. Heat before serving.

    Step 3

    3. Arrange cod, pasta, tomatoes, and broccoli in a pinwheel fashion in each of 4 large bowls. Top each with 1 1/4 cups hot serving broth. Sprinkle with scallions. Place a lime slice in the center of each and garnish with parsley or basil. Serve immediately.

Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
Spicy Tinned Tuna Tostadas
Made with tinned fish and topped with mango and avocado, these vibrant tostadas won't break the bank.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
Spicy Carrot Rigatoni
Hailee Catalano transforms humble carrots into a beautifully creamy pasta sauce.
Chopped Salad With Sardines and Preserved Lemon
A feel-good meal full of crunchy veg and even crunchier pita chips.
Thai-Style Fish Curry
Low effort, big flavor, and ready in under an hour.
Vodka Gochujang Pasta
This pasta has some really big energy about it. It’s so extra, it’s the type of thing you should be eating in your bikini while drinking a magnum of rosé, not in Hebden Bridge (or wherever you live), but on a beach on Mykonos.
Fufu
Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.
