Recipes

Fish Tacos:

Season white fish with old bay and pepper then bake at 350 for about 20 minutes (until flaky, also any seasoning will do). Heat corn tortillas in very hot pan, individually. For radish salsa, thinly slice one bunch of radishes and three scallions. Mix together with one diced jalapeno (seeded), salt, pepper, dash of olive oil and juice of 1-2 limes. Top each tortilla with some fish, radish slaw and shredded cabbage.

Asian Meatballs:

mix together 1 lb ground turkey, 2-3 cups shredded cabbage...optional (recipe says to place cabbage in colander with 1/4 t salt, let set 20 minutes then squeeze cabbage to drain any excess liquid), 4 t soy sauce, 1 1/2 t ginger, 1 garlic clove minced, and 2 egg whites beaten. Once mixed let set in refrigerator about 15 minutes to set. Form into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on foil lined sheet pan, sprayed with pam. Drizzle meatballs with your favorite teriyaki sauce, I use yoshidas original, and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes.

Stir Fried Rice:

Using about 1-1 1/2 c cooked rice (left over rice is the best). Heat wok pan over med-high heat with 1-2 t sesame oil, add cold or hot rice and about 1/2-3/4 c mixed veggies thawed. Stir fry for about 5-10 minutes until there are several areas of crisped rice. Lower heat to medium and create a well at the center of the pan (push rice/veggies to the sides. Add 1-2 eggs whisked and scramble. Don't worry if some of the rice gets into the egg while scrambling, just makes it better. At the end sprinkle with a small amount of soy sauce and yoshidas, only about 1 T of each to start.

Fish and Shrimp packets:

Use a large piece of foil for each person/packet. Place foil pieces out and layer first 1/2 in slices of red potatoes, top with white fish, sliced lemon, old bay seasoning, pepper and top with 2-4 shrimp. Top shrimp with 1/2 T butter and fresh dill. Then to the side of the fish stack place a half ear of corn. The whole thing should make a rectangle shape. Now fold over foil and seal all edges. You can either bbq or bake these packets. Place foil packets directly on grill for about 15-10 minutes or place packets on cookie sheet in 400 oven for, again, about 15-20 minutes. Serve with artisan bread to sop up the yummy juice.
