Another lovely one got us another lovely cookbook for Christmas. The Hungry Girls Cookbook arrived in the post from Australia last week. Thank you Miss Heart. And before you know it we had rustled up the Chilli, Tomato, Herb Fish. In our case Chilli, Vine Tomato and Coriander Halibut. You fry garlic (i used cheating garlic in a tube) and chilli (we only had dried chilli) in a bit of oil and butter, throw in the tomatoes when they are golden and sizzling (they get that little bit caramelised) for a couple of minutes then your chopped herbs. The patted dry and seasoned fish gets laid on top and cooked three or four minutes on the first side and two or three on the flip.
Halibut is a really nice, fresh, tasty, soft white fish with nice long flakes of meat. It was lovely with the sweetness of the tomatoes. I probably underdid the chilli, but otherwise this was a big easy dinner hit and we'll make it again. Hungry Girl suggested good bread on the side and that would be just the thing to soak up all the tasty juices. Which will lead me on to cookbook number three: Bourke Street Bakery's ultimate bakery companion. We gained five kilos just looking at the recipes! Thanks for that Queen Bee :)
Will report back soon.
