Simple Poached Cod RECIPE COURTESY OF GEOFFREY ZAKARIAN Level: Easy Total: 25 min Active: 10 min Yield: 4 servings Ingredients 2 cups coconut milk 4 cloves garlic, smashed 4 sprigs fresh thyme 2 fresh bay leaves Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Four 6-ounce skinless cod fillets Minced fresh chives, for garnish Lime wedges, for garnish Extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing Directions In a medium straight-sided saucepan, add the coconut milk, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, a pinch of salt and 1 cup water.

Classic Brown Rice Pilaf RECIPE COURTESY OF GEOFFREY ZAKARIAN Level: Easy Total: 1 hr 30 min (includes sitting time) Active: 30 min Yield: 4 servings Ingredients 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 cup finely chopped carrot 1 cup finely chopped onion 1 cup finely chopped bell pepper 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 cup long-grain brown rice 1/2 cup broken spaghettini 2 1/2 to 3 cups chicken stock 2 dried bay leaves 1 cup chopped scallions Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper Directions In a medium Dutch oven over medium heat, heat half of the oil until hot. Add the carrot, onion, bell pepper, oregano, thyme, garlic and 1 tablespoon butter and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the rice, spaghettini and the rest of the oil and stir to coat, toasting both in the oil, about 2 minutes. Add the stock and bay leaves and bring to a boil.

Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Add the scallions and remaining tablespoon butter and stir to combine and melt the butter. Remove the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
