Last night I wanted to prepare a nice dinner. I had some fish fillets (swai) that I purchased a few days ago,and I was thinking tacos so I sprinkled alittle old bay and taco seasoning on the fish and let it do it's thing. By the time I got into the groove of the meal I thought that I would forgo the tacos, and go with yellow rice instead. I put a pot of blackbeans on to simmer to which I added sauteed onions,garlic,& bell peppers. Next I finished up my yellow rice which for whatever reason refused to cook up at the appropriate time so I had to keep adding little bits of water to help it along,I thought about risotto the entire time I was doing this! The fish was dredged in alittle seasoned flour that I keep in the fridge for frying fish, I like to use cornmeal with alittle (if any flour),the fish was seasoned ahead of time and splashed with some red wine. While the fish drained on papertowels I prepared a tomato gravy or sorts, again I sauteed up a bunch of onions,peppers, & fresh garlic,after I sweated the veggies alittle I added in a can of fire roasted tomatoes,and alittle spaghetti sauce. I have to tell you the house smelled divine. Oh, and plantains I actually cook them this time,I'm ashamed to admit that I have purchased them on more than one occasion and just have not felt like cooking them. They were perfectly ripe,the skin was just turning with streaks of black. I peeled them,sliced them on a diagonal,and sprinkled them with my herb salt (homemade),and alittle pumpkin pie spice and browned them in hot oil-delicious,if I had enough table setting I would have invited you-till we meet again!
