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.

Adzuki Beans with Black Rice

I hope I don't turn any readers away by featuring cilantro in my first photo. My current food obsession is black rice. I was first introduced to it at  Sushi Pure . It's purple when cooked, and I was completely smitten when purple sushi arrived at our table. I mean, purple sushi! It was like my birthday or something. Actually, it might have been my birthday, because I pretty much always have sushi on my birthday, but anyway. It's kind of sweet and has this great chewy texture. When I learned  how healthy it is , my crush evolved to full-out love. Sushi Pure's Spicy Tuna Roll (photo from FoodSpotting.com) In my ongoing research for ingredients that are low in calories but high in nutrition, adzuki (also spelled azuki) beans came up. I learned that these are the sweet red beans used in Japanese desserts, including red bean ice cream, which I've been obsessed with since I was a kid. But since turning them into ice cream probably negates the health benef...

Spicy Tomato Jam

Little pot of bubbling goodness seeks lentil patties, sweet potato fries, or pretty much anything else. I recently made  this recipe  from Crumb Blog for lentil patties with tomato jam. The lentil patties were pretty good, but the tomato jam was really something to write home about. It's one of those foods that makes you feel warm, even when it's cold. It has just the right balance of sweetness, acidity, and spice. The mustard seeds are a must (haha, must ard seeds). Their crunch, and the little burst of toasty peppery flavor that follows, are amazing in contrast to the rest of the flavors. The next time you're tempted to put ketchup on something, consider this instead.  I have a little bit of this gold left over in the freezer. I'm thinking I may thin it out with vegetable broth and use it as a sauce for a stir-fry. Stay tuned for the results. The only change I made to this recipe was upping the amount of mustard seeds. I think 1 tsp is the perfect a...
