Feed The Resistance: Happy Valentine’s Day!

With today being Valentine’s Day, I wanted to do something appropriate to the spirit of the day – so I went with HEARTS!  In particular Artichoke Hearts!  The dish that I made today comes from the Dooky Chase Cookbook by Leah Chase.  Leah was an amazing chef in New Orleans, who brought the Dooky Chase Restaurant to fame.  She was known as the Queen of Creole Cuisine.  This particular dish is Baked Fish with Artichokes and Cheese.  It’s super-simple to make – I used Catfish, but there are several other types of fish that can be used.  The Catfish is placed in a baking dish, then mashed up Artichoke Hearts go over the top of the fish, some Mayonnaise over the top of that, and then finally shredded Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese.  It’s all baked in the oven for 30-45 minutes…and that’s it, it’s done…and DELICIOUS!

To pair with the fish, Dee chose a Citrus Saison from Door County Brewing, called “Idle Days” – and as usual Dee nails it…the perfect pairing!
