Well folks its been awhile since my last post but I'm back! During the Lenten season I chose to give up beef and of course had no meat on Fridays. As a result, I prepared a lot of fish and vegetarian dishes but didn't want to eat the same thing week after week. So I looked up recipes online and conjured up recipes from my childhood; they turned out great and below is one of preparations. First, I must say that on Easter we decided to celebrate with a steak dinner and for some reason it wasn't that great tasting. In addition, maybe it was just me but I felt lethargic afterwards...two months of not eating red meat made realize that I CAN live with LESS beef in my life. I have to admit, it wasn't only giving up beef that made me feel this way reading articles about the health ramifications of beef was also a contributor. Therefore, I'm choosing to incorporate a lot more seafood and lean meats into my diet...beef, maybe on special occasions.
For this recipe I chopped ginger into fine stringy pieces and sauteed them in olive oil with minced garlic. Joe picked up Judy Fu's black bean sauce and to my surprise it was good and not as salty as the black beans you get in the can to make the sauce...add 3-4 tablespoons and then add your fish. I used larger pieces of halibut so you can adjust the amounts based on the size of the fish. Cook for 4 minutes (depends on thickness of fish and preference of doneness) on each side and voila, you're done!
I like to cook with Trader Joe's sauces which are pretty decent. I might try that Judy Fu's sauce with some chicken. I can eat ginger with anything. I even eat ginger candy.
