Roasted Cod with Brussels Sprouts, Carrots, Apple Butter and Cider Vinaigrette By by Chef John Schaefer of Irving Mill, from New York Cooks, by Joan Krellenstein and Barbara Winkler

The homespun ambience of Irving Mill is reflected in the food, which could be called "updated rustic." That update shows up in Chef Schaefer's cod, a dish he animates with a fruity cider vinaigrette and a spicy apple butter.

Instructions

To Make The Apple Butter

Place all ingredients in a small saucepan and cook until apples are tender. Remove star anise and cinnamon stick. Puree mixture in a blender. The "butter" will resemble apple sauce. Set aside.

To Make The Vegetables

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large, ovenproof sauté pan coated with oil, place all the vegetables. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Place pan in the oven and roast until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove vegetables from the pan and let cool.

To Make The Cider Vinaigrette

Bring apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan, lower heat and simmer until reduced to 1/4 cup. Remove from heat. Mix 2 tablespoons of the cider reduction with the cider vinegar. Add the olive oil. Season to taste and add more reduction if needed.

To Make The Cod

Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).

Season the cod fillets and place in a sauté pan with cooking oil. When fish is lightly golden, place in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Baste with fresh thyme and melted butter mixture.

To Serve

Place the roasted vegetables on the side of the dish with a scoop of apple butter beside them. Place cod next to the vegetables and drizzle the cider vinaigrette over the cod and the vegetables.
