Fish Taco Bowls

It kind of looks like ice cream on top. I promise it's not.

From the next installment in Amy's-Pinch-Of-Yum-Fan-Blog, I present Fish Taco Bowls. My only real deviation from the original recipe was using pickled jalapenos instead of a bell pepper, and I'll definitely do that again next time. And there will be a next time.


The Recipe: (Serves 2)
2 tilapia filets
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
salt, to taste
2 c cooked rice (I use a mix of black and brown)
2 tb olive oil
3/4 c corn
2 tb pickled jalapeno slices, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 red onion, chopped
1 avocado, chopped
4 tb green salsa
3 tb sour cream
  • Mix chili powder, cumin, and about 1/2 tsp salt. Pat onto tilapia filets and let marinate while preparing vegetables.
  • In a skillet with olive oil over high heat, add onions, corn, jalapenos, and garlic (in that order, so the garlic sits on top and doesn't burn). Sprinkle with salt and let sit until the onions and corn brown. Set aside.
  • Add more olive oil to the hot pan if necessary, then put tilapia in pan and turn down to medium heat. Cook a few minutes per side, until cooked through and browned.
  • In bowls, layer rice, corn mixture, avocado, salsa, fish, and sour cream.

The Verdict:
Overall grade: A+
Overall reason: Healthy, easy, delicious.
Time to prepare: 30 minutes

Kitchen renovation!

BEFORE: AFTER: Still to come: a beautiful new induction range and some wood shelving on the left side, above the backsplash. And maybe the shelving unit on the wall facing the cabinets should be green, but we're going to live with a while before making that decision.

Curry Fried Rice

Excited for these leftovers. One of the things I wanted to try with my  new jar of curry powder  was fried rice. Years ago, Miles got fried rice at  Korea House  and it was the best fried rice I'd ever had. I suspected there was curry powder in it, but at that time I had never really cooked with curry powder, so I tucked that knowledge away for a later date. After reading a few recipes, I went rogue on this one. I couldn't even begin to effectively guess at what proportions I ended up with, so the recipe below is more of a rough guideline of ingredients. The "Recipe" (sorry no quantities; follow your heart): leftover jasmine rice tofu, cubed and crisped in the oven with avocado oil and salt vegetables: garlic, onion, cabbage, red bell pepper salt curry powder (I used a Vietnamese one) soy sauce sugar sesame oil future topping ideas: runny egg, sesame seeds, green onion Saute the vegetables in avocado oil until softened, and salt them to taste Add the tofu and toss to...

Samosa Burritos

Imagine a pile of plain yogurt and some Indian pickle for dipping I saw a Pinterest recipe for samosa-filled quesadillas, which led me to  this recipe  from Nadia's Healthy Kitchen for baked samosas using tortillas, which led me to just use the giant tortillas I had in the fridge and make them into full-sized burritos. They were a hit! I largely followed the recipe from Nadia's Healthy Kitchen, but I added some potato, omitted the chana masala powder and just added a bunch of cumin instead, added bell pepper and fresh chilies, didn't bother with the "sealing paste," and basted them in a little bit of melted butter (omit for vegan version). Everyone except the 5-year-old liked them! The Recipe (adapted from  Nadia's Healthy Kitchen ) 2 cans (30 oz total) cooked garbanzo beans, rinsed (I eyeballed the equivalent from dry beans) 1 small onion, chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 thai chili, minced 1 bell pepper, chopped 1 potato, baked until soft (or microwaved for...
