Nutritional Information

Directions:

To Prepare Grilled Chipotle Cod: Place chipotle peppers in a food processor or blender. Process for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Cut each piece of cod in half lengthwise. Place cod in a stainless-steel bowl. Coat each slice of cod with chipotle pepper puree. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour to marinate. Drain and discard excess marinade prior to cooking. Spray preheated sauté pan with cooking spray. Grill cod for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn cod with a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until opaque and flaky. Remove from heat.
To Prepare Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Puree until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl and continue to puree to a very smooth consistency. NOTE: Follow same directions with a blender if a food processor is not available.
To Prepare Spicy Coleslaw: In a non-reactive bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, red and green peppers and cilantro. Mix well to combine. In a separate stainless-steel bowl, combine mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, lime juice, sugar and salt. Mix until well blended. Pour mayonnaise mixture over vegetable mixture. Stir to combine. Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
To Prepare Mediterranean Relish: In a stainless-steel bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss gently to evenly distribute.
To Prepare Oversized Crostini: Combine garlic, oil, vinegar, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix until well-blended. Let stand for 15 minutes before use to allow flavors to blend. Cut off one third of baguette, and reserve for other use. Slice larger piece of baguette into 1/2″ slices at a 45-degree angle to create 6″ elliptical slices. Brush one side of each bread slice with 1 ½ teaspoons garlic mixture. Arrange on parchment lined sheet pans. Sprinkle 1 tsp cheese over each slice. Bake in preheated a 400-degree Fahrenheit oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
To Prepare Chipotle Cod Crostini & Spicy Coleslaw: Place 2 crostini on a service plate. Spread 1 Tablespoon roasted red pepper hummus over each slice of bread. Gently flake 1 piece of chipotle cod over each crostini. Evenly top with: 1 ½ Tablespoons Mediterranean relish, 1 ½ teaspoons chopped parsley. Serve with ½ cup spicy coleslaw. Enjoy immediately.
