Tilapia Fillets in a Spicy Poblano Sauce
While this recipe does include a little dairy – which Grok would typically forgo – it really helps take this dish to the next level (and is a reprieve from the cheese-centric dishes common in Mexican cuisine).
Ingredients:
4 fillets of tilapia
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
For sauce:
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
8 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and coarsely chopped
3 sprigs of fresh cilantro
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
To make the sauce, warm the butter in a large skillet until hot. Add onion and garlic and cook until softened. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onion browns. Add the poblano peppers, and cilantro and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, empty the ingredients into a food processor. Add chicken stock and process until smooth. A few minutes before serving, return mixture to saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the cream and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for three minutes, remove from heat and serve.
To prepare the tilapia, warm half of the oil in a large skillet over high heat and add half of the garlic. Saute 1-2 minutes. Add two pieces of the tilapia, cook for two minutes on each side and remove from pan. Repeat with remaining tilapia. Arrange on plate, layer on poblano sauce and serve immediately. Serves 4.
