Fabulous base, made better with some sherry splashed in with onions and garlic; cooked al dente orecchiette added half way thru the simmer; fresh garden tomatoes instead of canned; a couple handfuls of fresh torn spinach; thinly-sliced lemon and a pad of butter on top of each piece of halibut as it poached/steamed (I used 4 fillets, around 1.75 lbs total), and all of it done in a roomy wok. Oh, and some sumac and turmeric added to the spice bill. Omg, sooooo good.
