Put this in Your Mouth!!!

Fried Fish & Chips Friday!

I love Whiting. Not too many bones, versatile flavor, and often inexpensive! Today I actually saw them at my local fish monger for $1.99/lb! (Hint: Scoop up the whole fish and ask them to clean and filet them, and put the fish heads in a separate bag for a Round II Meal of Fish Head Soup!)  A pound and a half should feed four and still have some left over, but why not get 2 or 3 pounds and save the rest for Saturday morning Fish & Grits… Mmm… Here We Go!

Recipe Calls For:

2 Sweet Potatoes

A mandolin slicer

½ tsp cinnamon

Use a Cast Iron Skillet with about a ½ inch of Vegetable Oil

  1. Thinly and carefully slice Sweet Potatoes with the mandolin slicer and then Lay them in the “Hot Oil Pool!”
  2. Flip once using tongs and them transfer them to a Paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. They will come out soft but will crisp up once cooled. Sprinkle with Cinnamon.  Be Resourceful! Use the same Cast Iron Skillet and Oil for the Following Recipe–

Ingredients:

Fresh Whiting Fish (Best if bought and cooked on same day)

Season Sparingly with: S&P

GOYA Adobo® All-Purpose Seasoning with Lemon Pepper Flavoring

Oregano

1 Large egg, beaten

½ tsp Paprika

1 Cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs

1 Cup Flour

1 lemon

  1. Season Whiting liberally with above components and then make an “Assembly line” with Beaten egg in a bowl, and a Resealable Bag filled with remaining ingredients except the lemon.
  2. Start the Dipping Party! Dip your fish in the egg, then into the bag, then on the next one!  Divide in two batches.  Once the first batch is done, Heat your Cast Iron Skillet to Medium High.
  3. Shake, Shake, Shake ¡Senora!  Shake your resealable bag to coat fish, and then use tongs to transfer them to your hot oil. Fish should take about 2 minutes per side to cook through;  gently place them on a plate with paper towels to drain excess oil and squeeze lemon sparingly over fish. Continue on to the next batch.

Dish up your Fish & Chips in a basket Lined w/ Paper towels and pair with up with a nice Cold Beer or a Glass of Sweet Lemonade! Whew Child! PUT THIS IN YOUR MOUTH!!!

The Mourning-After Meal

March 20, 2011 » Posted by Rahim

Welcome to the Mourning-After Meal

Most people would have to do a double-take on the title of this Meal. No, this is NOT the morning after “sex” meal; on the contrary, this is the morning after a relationship break-up meal (hence the term/to mourn/, in reference to the dead.)

This will cure your illness. The aromas will fill your house. And, stay tuned for the Round 2 Dinner…

Don’t worry, one bite and you will transform from a once empty, weak human, to a fulfilled, determined, Fighter. Lena Mae’s Got your Back.

 

Poached Egg and Tomato Bruschetta

Recipe

Ingredients:

1 medium size Red Onion

2-3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)

2 cups Diced Tomatoes (could use canned or fresh)

1 tsp basil

1 tsp oregano

½ Cup Cut Asparagus

B&G Bread & Butter Pickle Chips (about 10)

3 Eggs

1 loaf long French Baguette

2-3 tsp butter

2 tsp Garlic Bread Sprinkle or Garlic Powder

 

Instructions:

  1. Rough Chop Onion (while thinking of a better way to use this sharp knife… don’t hurt yaself!)
  2. Add EVOO to Cast Iron Pan (or sauté pan), let heat for about a minute and then add onion.
  3. When onions turn soft and brown, add tomatoes, basil and oregano, Stir.
  4. Add asparagus and Pickle Chips to this simmering concoction… Stir. (To Indulge, sneak a Bread and Butter Chip into your mouth… okay now back to the meal)
  5. Let this simmer for about a minute, then make 3 pockets where eggs will become suspended.
  6. DON’T BE SCURRED!! Crack eggs in a quick fashion against a hard surface, and it will release perfectly out of its shell and into place into “pockets”. Cover to protect this delicate and tender egg. (Reference to shielding yourself and transforming into a firm, tender, luscious being.)
  7. Slice French Baguette into 1”thick slices along a bias and place into broiler. (Turning when halfway through crispness)
  8. Straight out of oven, apply butter and Garlic to bread.
  9. Place Tomato/Egg Mixture on top of Garlic Infused Bread.

PUT THIS IN YOUR MOUTH!
