This dish came together without a thought, which makes it the perfect recipe to share as it was easy and nothing you had to plan ahead for. Just as long as you have some fish, you can really put any of the local vegetables you have waiting to get enjoyed in there. The local broccoli is boomin’ right now and the kale we spotted just looked so good we couldn’t resist. I usually tend to buy my kale in spring or fall, but here we are in middle August and it just looked so good. Did you know that Logan’s Daily Catch has set up shop next to the Pork Shop? They have a fabulous selection of seafood and now they’re super accessible right in Westville. With fresh tomatoes coming out around this time, you can get even more local and use your own peeled tomatoes! We served this over rice, but I would also eat this straight out of a big bowl served with crusty bread.

Ingredients
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 onion, diced
-
1 375 ml can whole tomatoes, crushed with hand or masher
-
1 ½ tbsp Big Cove Foods 'Porcini BBQ Genie' spice blend
-
2 cups stock
-
1 small head broccoli, cut into small florets
-
5 leaves of kale, de-stemmed and roughly torn
-
1 ½ lbs local fish fillets
-
salt to taste
Directions
Using a large pan with high sides, or a dutch oven, set over medium heat.
Melt the butter and add the onions, cooking until soft and just beginning to brown up a bit.
In a medium bowl add the can of whole tomatoes and gently crush and squeeze them with your hands, or masher but it’s definitely not as fun!
Add the tomatoes to the onions; bring back to a simmer and add the stock. Allow this to simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes. We want it to concentrate in flavours but you don’t want to loose too much of the liquid either.
Add the broccoli and kale to the tomato broth and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring around every so often.
Nestle the fish into the sauce evenly and cover with a lid. Cook until the fish is just cooked through, gently flipping once in between; about 3-4 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets. No over cooking the fish here cause that’s not very yummy. The fish will be done when it looses its transparency and flakes easily when you twist with a fork in the thickest part. (or internal temperature of 140-145 F)
Taste and season with more salt if needed.
You can enjoy this dish just in a bowl on its own with crusty bread, or over rice to sop up all that delicious sauce.

I enjoyed the taco enhancer on nachos . It had the right amount of heat and the spice combo blended well. Looking forward to trying it in different recipes , including tacos and more !

We love these so much! We go through these blends so fast and get creative with them when we cook. Just the best blends and love that extra kick from the ghost pepper!

The aroma of the spices are strong and you can smell it outside of the package itself without even opening the package. it's strong in the cumin and garlic and hot spices. the color of the spices are a very deep rich orange/red and I love that! you don't have to use a lot because it's or a high quality and strength otherwise you can very quickly end up with an over spiced menu. I like very much the fact that the package is resealable too.

I was looking for a quick mix to spice up my steak and came across this blend. Although it says lamb, the spices worked really well with the steak. I love that it's quick and painless. I don't have to figure out my own spice blend, I'm able to quickly reach for a high quality product that I know I can count on. I'm definitely going to restock when I run out!

Love love love, can't say enough good things about this blend. I tried the small pouch and just gave it a try and man was I surprised with how good it was. I am now a new fan of curated packs of spices, just tastes authentic. The only issue I had was it was pricier than transitional spices which I could see could drive some customers away.

The Egyptian Summer spice blend was definitely gourmet. I loved that I could taste the individual spices while it compliments one another altogether. I definitely struggle with knowing how to mix spices and this blend definitely helped make it more accessible. I added it to some chicken wings and it was so good! I would definitely buy it again or try another one of their spice blends.

The spices were amazing and were very fragrant. Definitely a gourmet blend that I would purchase again. I used one of the recipes on their website and followed the instructions and had the most flavourful chicken wings I've ever had in life. Definitely a time saver and money saver given this is already pre blended to maximize flavour.

i'm obsessed with this flavour, I want it on everything.

We absolutely love using Big Cove spices in our kitchen! They're free from fillers and packed with incredible flavour. The sampler sets are perfect gifts for friends, family, and clients who want to experience the unique tastes of Nova Scotia. We highly recommend using these spices in your daily cooking and sharing them with others.

Big Cove spice blends do not disappoint they are packed with flavour. When I go camping or to the cottage I pack a bottle or a mix of pouches. it is a must pack item, one less thing to worry about when cooking. Great for meats, but also go perfect on veggies and potatoes -delicious!! Can't say enough great things behind this product, and Sarah & Dave are amazing!

The flavour was unbelievable. The family really enjoyed taco night. Totally recommend.

Ghost taco makes everything taste delicious! I put it on chicken thighs and fry them with olive oil and use in a sandwich or on tuna and lightly sear it I use it on everything! It’s amazing like all the spices !

I received a free sample to try! I really liked it! It is very spicy but in a good way. My husband found it too hot but he is a wimp. I would love to try other flavours that you have available! I love to support small business and wish you lots of success! Definitely a recommendation from me and I would buy more!

Great products and they add the extra special flavour to a variety of deserts! I am looking forward to trying more of the recipes from Big Cove Foods!

I have tried each one and they are delicious! Hard to pick a favourite! They are going to be a staple in my spice rack!
