Welcome to Sonya and Rebecca's Cooking Adventures!

We know there is a multitude of cooking blogs out there, Julia Child would probably be appalled in fact, but we're adding one more to the world so read if you will. We've been cooking our way through several cook books for almost the past two years and decided it was finally time to let you all in on our adventures.

Today's recipe:
Baked Halibut in Cider Broth from Nicole Routhier's Fruit Cookbook.

2 small onions, thinly sliced
2 medium red potatoes, thinly sliced
2 small tart apples, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper
4 halibut fillets
3 cups of hard apple cider
1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup shredded basil leaves

Our substitutions:
We used pears instead of potatoes (it was delish!)
Cut the cream to 1/4 of a cup
Use cod instead of halibut

Fish:
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
In a flat baking dish, lay out pears, apples, and onions and place fish fillets on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper
Pour cider equally over the entire pan
Cover with foil and cook for 12-16 minutes

Sauce:
Remove dish from over and pour liquid into a saute pan
Reduce for 5-8 minutes
Add cream and cook while stirring continuously for 3 minutes
Remove from heat and add basil

To serve:
Plate fish and fruit
Spoon sauce over entire dish as desired

Tip: the remaining hard cider makes an excellent addition to the already fun cooking process!
