Tilapia Recipe

Author: admin
02 27th, 2010

Tilapia is now one of the Top 10 fish consumed in America. In fact, four ounces of tilapia has just over 100 calories, 21 grams of protein, and no saturated fat or cholesterol.

Chef Jason Hill of CookingSessions.com prepares a tilapia recipe that’s healthy and delicious. We recommend only U.S. farmed tilapia, followed by those farmed from Central and South America. Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch warns that tilapia from China and Taiwan may be contaminated.

Tilapia recipes can include baked tilapia, grilled tilapia or fried tilapia. The rising popularity of this fish has made recipes for tilapia easy to come by.

I recently hosted a cooking show, and part of the class focused on healthy entrees. I chose a tilapia recipe served with sauteed bell peppers.

Tilapia is a fresh water fish whose meat is firm, white and flaky. it has a pleasant mild and sweet flavor, and is reasonably priced in comparison to other seafood.

Today, we are cooking tilapia in a crispy cornmeal coating. You’ll need about 6 tilapia filets for this preparation.

To begin, toast about 1 cup of cornmeal in a large saute pan over medium heat. After about 2 minutes, set the cornmeal aside in a large 13×9 casserole dish.

Next, we’re going to prepare the sauteed pepper topping. Today I’m only preparing two fillets, but this recipes make enough sauce for 6. Whatever sauce you don’t use, can easily be frozen.

Place about 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat and add 1/4 of a thinly sliced onion, 1 seeded and sliced pasilla or poblano pepper, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper and 1 thinly sliced green bell pepper.

After that cooks down and becomes soft, add 1/2 cup of water, 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 small diced tomato, 1/2 tsp. sugar, 1 tsp. tomato paste and 1 bay leaf. Stir and simmer about 15 minutes until the sauce thickens up. Keep over very low heat until ready to serve, and season to taste with a bit of salt and pepper.

Next, season each tilapia filet with salt and pepper, and roll in the toasted cornmeal. Make sure to coat both sides well.

In a large saute pan, heat about 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. When the pan is hot, fry the tilapia until crisp and brown — about 4-5 minutes each side.

Serve with a generous topping of the sauteed peppers and steamed basmati rice. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for tubing in!

Serves 6

Home delivery of food items has become a growing trend around the world. There are several sites that are perfect examples of a place to go for my favorite “food” item, wine. The reasons to buy wine online and have it delivered are numerous. With this in mind I started a hunt for the perfect wine delivery site.

Most of the sites I looked at have an ample selection of wines that can be delivered to your door. Most of the major producers offer online access. There are also many smaller producers that you would never be able to sample at your local grocer.  This is a huge advantage to buying wine and then having it delivered. The time it takes to go to different outlets to shop for different brands can be extensive.

Delivery is usually very easy to set up. Most sites offer delivery within two or three days. Some will deliver the next day depending on your time of order and geographic location. This is another advantage of convenience. The only time this is not available is when you realize at 5:00 that you need a bottle of wine at 6:00. This is a very difficult situation to fix other than getting in your auto and going yourself. When you have done a little of planning home delivery of wine is a very viable option.

I had one occasion where the bottle arrived broken. All I had to do was call the number listed on the site, and they worked it out. The lady was really rather pleasant to deal with. She even told me if I ever received a wine that I wasn’t happy with to give them a ring and they would work with me. Now that is service. Most sites are more than willing to work with you. They understand that accidents happen. Make sure and report it as soon as you discover the problem.

Home delivery is an option of convenience. It is something that is becoming more available and accepted and even expected by consumers. To me the convenience and the savings are really a great deal. Check it out and post your thoughts.

Cheers!
