Ingredients

1 quart water
1/2 medium onion sliced
6 Whole black peppercorns
3 Whole allspice
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 each bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white wine dry

Directions

Combine all ingredients in large skillet or Dutch oven.

It may be necessary to double or triple recipe if larger amount of liquid is needed to be sure fish is just covered during poaching.

Simmer for 20-30 minutes to blend flavors.

Add fish; cover and simmer over low heat for 15-25 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

(NOTE: Avoid using high heat.

Boiling action will break up fish.) Lift cooked fish carefully from liquid with wide spatula.

Drain well, patting excess moisture from fish with paper towels if necessary.

Poached fish may be served hot or cold with a complementary sauce or flaked/chunked and used in casseroles, spreads, etc.

Australian Shrimp On The Barbie

Although the recipe looks great - and delicious - it has definitely been "Americanised" (or Americanized as the Americans would put it!). In Australia we do not call them shrimps - they are prawns. Nor do we call that herb "cilantro" - it is coriander! To tell you the truth though we don't really put prawns on the barbie (much!). they tend to toughen up more if they are on the barbie. We boil them like everyone else and then serve them with everything else cooked on the barbie. Sorry to sound all defensive about Aussie food (have we been around long enough to establish Aussie food?)It has been a long day and I just had to have a whinge about something!
