Craig's Amazing Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients:
As many pumpkin seeds as you can collect!
Worcestershire sauce (just enough to coat the seeds)

Directions:

1. Pick all the seeds you can out of the guts of the pumpkin(s).
2. Spread them out on cookie sheets so that they can dry.
3. Leave the seeds out to dry. When the membranes on the seeds begin to separate from the seeds, they are dry enough.
4. Take the tray outside and hand-rub the seeds until most/all the seeds are clean. Gently blow away the dried membranes as you rub the seeds.
5. Place the now-clean seeds in a microwave safe bowl and coat with Worcestershire sauce using a mixing spoon.
6. Microwave the bowl with the coated seeds on high for 1 minute to warm them up.
7. Mix the seeds again to coat them with the sauce. It sticks better when the seeds are warm.
8. Spread the seeds out on cookie sheets again and cook on 200F for 2 hours.
9. Enjoy!

Nobu's Miso-Marinated Black Cod Recipe

Adapted from Nobu: The Cookbook, Serves 4

1/4 cup sake 
1/4 cup mirin 
4 tablespoons white miso paste 
3 tablespoons sugar 
4 black cod fillets, about 1/2 pound each

Two to three days beforehand, make the miso marinade and marinate the fish. Bring the sake and mirin to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Boil for 20 seconds to evaporate the alcohol. Turn the heat down to low, add the miso paste and whisk. When the miso has dissolved completely, turn the heat up to high again and add the sugar, whisking constantly to ensure that the sugar doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat once the sugar is fully dissolved. Cool to room temperature.

Pat the black cod fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels. Slather the fish with the miso marinade and place in a non-reactive dish or bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Leave to marinate in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. 

To cook the fish: Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat a grill or broiler. Lightly wipe off any excess miso clinging to the fillets but don't rinse it off. Place the fish skin-side-up on the grill, or in a broiler pan, and grill or broil until the surface of the fish browns and blackens in spots, about 3 minutes. Flip and grill or broil until the other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
