ST. PATRICK’S DAY SECTION<br />
Whiskey-glazed cod the perfect meal for St. Patrick’s Day<br />
By Linda Gassenheimer<br />
Tribune News Service<br />
Cod, a popular Irish fish, is<br />
coated with an Irish whiskey<br />
sauce for a quick dinner that is<br />
perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or<br />
for any quick dinner. Fresh chives<br />
add flavor and green color to celebrate<br />
the day.<br />
Broccoli and Potatoes complete<br />
the meal. Start the potatoes first<br />
and the entire meal can be made<br />
in 20 minutes.<br />
Helpful Hints:<br />
Look for wild-caught Atlantic<br />
cod if possible, or use any type of<br />
firm fish instead.<br />
A quick way to chop chives is<br />
to cut them with a scissors.<br />
Any type of whiskey can be<br />
used. Scotch whisky (spelled<br />
without an e in Scotland) will<br />
give a lighter taste.<br />
Yellow or Yukon gold potatoes<br />
can be used instead of red<br />
potatoes.<br />
