Not everyone finds fish to be as exciting as I do without accompaniments, for my regular readers you will know that Shells falls into this category. For this dinner I decided to forgo my regular salsa or sauce topper and went with a take on a hash instead. For this hash I used a potato base with a mix of veggies and, of course, some garlic. I served it with a piece of broiled red snapper.
Onion & Pepper Hash
2 small yellow potatoes
1 small yellow onion
6 cloves of garlic
20 shishito peppers
1 Tbsp olive oil
Chop all of the veggies into bite sized pieces, keep the potato separate and soak in water for 30 minutes, drain and allow to sit in a colander for 30 minutes. Slice the garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium high heat and once hot add your potatoes. Use a wooden spoon, or spatula, to keep moving the potatoes around for a few minutes or so to prevent them from sticking, after about 10 minutes add the onion and shishito peppers. Continue to stir and agitate the mix for another 5 minutes and then add the garlic. Cook for another 5 - 10 minutes (until everything is as browned and done as you'd like) and then serve and enjoy!
