TOMATOES WITH MOROCCAN-STYLE FISH STUFFING

Steps:

• Cut off the top third of each tomato, scoop out the seeds and pulp with a grapefruit knife, leaving 1/3-inch-thick shells, and reserve the tops and pulp for another use. Sprinkle the insides of the tomatoes with salt and invert the tomatoes on a rack to drain for 30 minutes.
• In a non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the scrod for 1 minute on each side. Add the wine to the skillet and cook the fish, covered, over moderately low heat for 3 to 6 minutes, or until it just flakes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the fish cool. Flake the fish into a bowl and stir in the preserved lemon peel and brine, the coriander, the lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil. Divide the mixture among the tomato shells and drizzle it with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• To make quick preserved lemons:
• In a baking dish just large enough to hold the lemons in one layer toss the lemons with the salt, pour enough of the lemon juice over them to just cover them, and bake the lemons, covered, in a preheated 200°F oven, stirring occasionally, for 3 hours. Let the lemons cool and transfer them with their brine to an airtight container. The preserved lemons keep, covered and chilled, indefinitely.

MOROCCAN STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Heat 2 sticks butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, shallots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl. Add the pine nuts, raisins, pomegranate seeds, bread cubes and ras el hanout and mix with a wooden spoon. Combine the turkey broth and poultry seasoning in another bowl. In a third bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Add the turkey broth mixture and the egg mixture to the bowl with the bread cubes and toss to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, cover with foil and bake until slightly set, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is browned, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle with the chives, lemon zest and lemon juice.
