Sea Bass with Brothy Lemon-Leek Beans

🐟 Steamed Chilean Sea Bass 🐟
Cannellini Beans, Edamame, and Arugula
Lemon-Leek Broth
Tomato-Caper-Parsley Topping
Toasted Breadcrumbs

Chilean sea bass has a naturally buttery texture, so steaming lets it cook gently without adding oil or weighing down the dish. The fish stays moist and tender, ready to be served over arugula, cannellini beans, and edamame in a lemon-leek broth. A spoonful of chopped tomato, capers, and parsley goes on top, followed by toasted breadcrumbs for a little crunch.

Serve it in a shallow bowl with toasted baguette to soak up the broth. It’s a colorful, inviting meal, full of flavor, with melt-in-your-mouth fish, two kinds of beans, and a crisp, savory topping.

Lima Bean and Sauerkraut Soup

It isn’t the prettiest soup, but it sure is unique and flavorful and perfect for a cold weather meal. With plenty of sauerkraut left over from my Reuben Latkes, this Sauerkraut Soup was on the menu!

Sauerkraut soup, also known as kapuśniak in Polish, is a traditional Eastern European dish that features fermented cabbage as a key ingredient.

Kapuśniak typically contains a variety of vegetables such as carrots, onions, and potatoes. These vegetables add sweetness and depth to the soup. Instead of potatoes, this version features plump large lima beans. A good source of protein and fiber – large lima beans have a creamy texture, and a slightly sweet, buttery flavor.

Smoked sausage or kielbasa are often added to sauerkraut soup too, but this one is intentionally meatless. It’s a great comfort food, and many variations of the recipe exist, allowing for personal preferences and regional differences.

Dill is popular in Polish cuisine – bright and grassy, herbaceous and aromatic, fresh dill enhances the overall sensory experience of soup. And here, a generous dollop of sour cream balances out the sauerkraut. Homemade artisan bread with butter is the perfect accompaniment for dunking in the savory sour broth.
