Cooking…for the halibut

To-Try Recipe #8:  Coconut Fish Tomato Bake

I intended to use up the old tomatoes (bought before Christmas) in this recipe, but most of them were rotten. I got two good ones out of the bag and had to supplement with some grape tomatoes I’d bought. Which was fine. I used a half-bag of catfish pieces from the freezer, plus spices and a part of a can of light coconut milk. So it was kind of "healthful", although I may have splashed a little too much olive oil on. It looked a little oily in the pan. 

But it was very tasty!  And remarkably easy, too. So…

Keep or Discard?  Keep and make again!

 

To-Try Recipe #9: Apple Butter from the “Our South” cookbook

The reason for trying this recipe, which I will probably never eat more than a couple of spoonfuls of, was to see if it was indeed possible to make apple butter without having to peel the apples. And I’m happy to announce, yes! After an hour of cooking, the immersion blender chopped the peelings right up and they disappeared.

Taste-wise, it was good but not great. I’ll eat it for a few weeks, but at my normal rate of two teaspoons jam on toast about twice a week, it will last me a year at least, And I only used five apples!

Keep or Discard? Discard. With regrets.
