BAKED FISH
WITH RITTER
LETTUCES
Variations
on this dish are
found through-
out the Jewish
Mediterranean. This is
a robust dish best made
with strong-tasting fish like fresh
tuna or mackerel. Bitter lettuces,
garlic and white wine bring out
the hearty flavors of the fish while
sweet fennel and fresh tomatoes
add softening tones.

Preparation time: 50-55 minutes
—• A g

6 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, peeled and finely
chopped
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and
chopped (1 tablespoon)
4 stalks fennel, chopped, plus a
handful of fennel leaves
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded,
and chopped
3 cups finely shredded chicory
3 cups finely shredded endive
lettuce
4 large fresh tuna steaks (2 & 1/2
to 3 pounds)
8 anchovies, packed in olive oil,
drained
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon
juice
Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350 de-
grees. Oil a deep casserole that
has a tight-fitting lid.
2. In a deep, wide saute pan,
heat 4 tablespoons oil over
medium-high heat. Saute the
onions until soft and translucent

lic and chopped fennel stalks.

til the fennel stalks start to soft-
en.

sprinkle with the lemon juice,
and season all over with pepper.

a few grindings of pepper,
and the remaining 2 ta-

blespoons oil.
