Cooking With Portuguese Sausage
This week we’re in the kitchen with Chef Warren Seta cooking up some of his favorite Portuguese sausage recipes.
This show aired originally in April 2005.
PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE-STUFFED ONAGA
* 1 whole onaga (1to 2 pounds), may substitute snapper or mullet
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup mayonnaise
* salt and pepper, to taste
* 2 to 3 ounces fresh ginger, peeled and julienne
* 1/2 cup green onion, chopped thin
* 1 bunch cilantro * 1cup peanut oil
With a sharp knife, slit the underside of the cleaned and scaled onaga all the way to the tail end to form a pocket. Rub with mayonnaise, salt and pepper both inside and outside. Stuff liberally with half of the cooked Portuguese sausage stuffing, saving the other half for garnishing.
Heat vegetable oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Place fish in skillet until both sides are golden brown and half-cooked.
Place fish in preheated, 350 degree oven for eight to 10 minutes.
Heat peanut oil in small saucepan until smoking point is reached.
Remove fish from oven and place on a large serving platter. Spoon on the flavored shoyu. Top with the ginger and green onions.
Carefully pour hot peanut oil over top of fish to sear ginger and green onions.
Place remaining half of stuffing on top of fish and finally top with cilantro.
For Stuffing:
* 1 Kukui Brand Kim Chee Portuguese Sausage cut into 1/2-inch slices
* 1/2 round onion, sliced thin
* 1/2 each red, yellow and green bell peppers, sliced thin
* 4 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thin
* 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
* 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
* salt and pepper, to taste
In sauté pan, heat oil on medium high heat. Place Portuguese sausage first to render out the flavor. Add rest of ingredients and sauté until peppers are slightly wilted. Set aside to slightly cool.
For Flavored Shoyu:
* 1 cup Aloha Shoyu Brand Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
* 1/8 cup roughly chopped fresh ginger
* 4 cloves garlic, crushed
* 3 stalks green onion, cut into 2-inch pieces
Place all ingredients in medium saucepan and bring to rapid boil. Immediately bring heat to its lowest setting to allow to steep for approximately 10 minutes. Do not let the steeping process return to a boil - this will cause a very salty reduction.
