Italian Fish with Capers and Rice
(Cooking is done without a recipe around my place a lot, so some measurements require common sense and are unexact)

1 package of thick, white fish - most kinds work, I like cod
1 can of whole or stewed plum tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1 - 2 tablespoons of capers
1 bunch of flat leaf (italian) parsley
1 fresh green chili
2 cups (or so) of flour
salt to taste
pepper to taste
small pinch of italian seasoning
half an inch of cooking oil (preferably vegetable or canola) in a pan to fry fish
A decent sized pot of white rice (I use a rice cooker)


1. Put on a pot of rice or some rice on your rice cooker. Sometimes it's easier to have the rice cooked before starting anything else.
2. In a large bowl mix flour, salt and pepper to make fish batter. Set aside.
3. Mince garlic and chili. Set in a large saucepan, with a tablespoon or two of cooking oil. Cook on high until smell of garlic comes out, but do not get it brown and fried up. Turn off and set aside.
4. Cut white fish into bite sized pieces (or whatever size you prefer, bite size cooks well) and coat with flour mixture.
5. Turn on a separate large saucepan and heat half inch of oil. Or enough oil to HALF cover the pieces of fish when cooking.
6. While oil is heating, put in a can of plum tomatoes with the garlic and chili and bring to medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste and a tiny bit of italian seasoning.
7. Cut up a tablespoon or two of capers and add to tomato mixture, continue on medium high heat to boil down tomatoes, especially if you have the whole canned kind. You'll need to mash them down a little.
8. Fry all the little pieces of breaded fish in the oil pan until they are a light golden brown. Put them in a bowl lined with a paper towel after they're finished.
9. Cut up italian parsley and add to tomato mixture, then add the pieces of fried fish but DO NOT break them up. Stir them in but leave them intact. Let them absorb some flavour for a little bit before turning the heat off tomato mixture.
10. Garnish with parsley and serve mixed with rice! Mmm!

Whenever I don't feel like fish, I make this; cheap, easy and delicious.


I'll have recipe's for yellow chicken curry and green shrimp curry later. I wish I knew how to make butter chicken..

I also have recipes for beef (or chicken) pho, my own chili recipe and lemongrass pork. I have a few other asian recipes but some of them I think are kind of 'secret', really hot and require special cooking tools. I also have a good fried rice recipe.

I used to bake a lot but have been kind of po lately so that's stopped. Maybe once I move I'll have some.

I love cooking! This dish is a specialty of mine.

Buttery Cracker Chicken Recipe with Lemon Butter Sauce
Ingredients

• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup crushed buttery round cracker crumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Ground black pepper to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces (or frying pan if you are not baking)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Place eggs and cracker crumbs in two separate shallow bowls.
3. Mix cracker crumbs with spices. Dip chicken in the eggs, then dredge in the crumb mixture to coat.
4. Arrange coated chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place pieces of butter around the chicken.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

Pan fry instead of oven bake:
You can pan fry this in a medium to large flat skillet with butter. I don't recommend using cooking oil because the breading WILL soak up the oil and make it taste awful. You can use a combination of oil and butter (as oil will not cause the butter to burn, and add flavor to the oil from the butter).

I suggest keeping the skillet on medium/high heat, and watching the chicken cook. When you get a golden brown crust on one side, it's time to flip onto the other. Cook until it is white inside, or to your liking.


Lemon Butter Sauce
Ingredients

• 1 env. Lipton cream of chicken flavor cup-a-soup instant soup
• 1/2 c. water
• 1 tbsp. butter
• 1 1/2 tsp. lemon juice

Directions
In small saucepan, blend cup-a-soup with water. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in butter and lemon juice. Serve over cooked broccoli, cauliflower, broiled chicken, pork chops or fish. Makes 1/2 cup sauce.

Over all, depending on how much chicken you use, will determine the amount of serving. For me, I can make 8 servings out of a 4 pack of boneless, skinless chicken breast. :P

Caesar dressing without anchovies or anchovy paste?

Not possible ;)

If I'm feeling ambitious one of these days, I'll have to post how I make my lamb chops...
