Vamos a Comer

I'm still exploring the October 2012 issue of Appetite Magazine although I have another issue already... from Ana Cristina, yes, my supplier of recipe magazines at home. This is still among the magazines I featured in my post (One Yummy and Healthy Idea a Week: A Year-ender Resolution) last year. Click on the link to read how I discovered this magazine that has become one of my kitchen buddies. :))

In this issue, you will find a number of classic Spanish dishes revisited. One of them is Pescado al Horno (Baked Fish). Here's the recipe.

Ingredients for the Marinade:
1/2 kilo Lapu-lapu fillet
1 pc calamansi, squeezed (I used 5 pcs)
Salt and pepper
Ground paprika

Ingredients for the Toppings:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1/4 kilo fresh shrimps, peeled
1 cup tomato sauce
Salt and pepper
Ground paprika
A pinch of sugar
1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (I used Quickmelt cheese)

Procedure:
1. Marinate fish fillet in calamansi, salt, pepper and ground paprika. Set aside.
2. Saute onions in olive oil, then add bell peppers.
3. Toss in shirmps and cook just until they turn orange. Pour in tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, paprika and sugar. Set aside. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
4. Spread some shrimp-tomato mixture at the bottom of a square or rectangular baking pan. Lay marinated fish on top. Pour the rest of the shrimp-tomato sauce on top. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. (Before sprinkling the bread crumbs and cheese, I placed some spinach leaves on top of the sauce.)
 5. Bake fish in the oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet.

Hmmm.... vamos a comer hora mismo! Enjoy your weekend!

    Thank you for sharing this dish on foodie friday. I blog about the Mediterranean diet but there are so many cuisines of the Mediterranean that I am not familiar with. Spanish is one of them, so glad to learn about a classic dish.

Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta: A Remake

There's a saying that goes, "One is enough, two is too much..." Uh uhhh, not for this!!! I'm referring to the Spanish Sardines Pasta which was my welcome post this year. My daughter, Ayana Grace, bought a bottle of pesto from the grocery store last month (she usually does...we seldom run out of pesto sauce in our cupboard) and I just wasn't able to resist making another try of the Pesto Spanish Sardines Pasta so here it is...

Ensaladang Mustasa

It's back to work today, after five days of rest, something I've been looking forward to. As if the  long Christmas holiday vacation was not enough :) Well, days just seem to fly so fast! Thanks to the additional non-working holidays brought about by the Pope's visit to my country, the Philippines. I had time to relax, stay at home, bond with family and yes, sort picture files in my computer. In between social networking, of course, I cooked for my family. With my husband home, there has to be fish and vegetables on the dining table. There was a bunch of mustasa (mustard) leaves left in the vegetable bin. What could be a better and perfect partner to fried fish than Ensaladang Mustasa (Mustard Salad)? Very simple and easy, here's how I did it. Ingredients: 1 bunch of mustasa leaves Rock salt 2 medium-sized tomatoes, sliced 1 small onion, sliced thinly 3 tbsps vinegar Iodized salt, ground pepper and sugar to taste Steps: 1. Cut mus...

This post appeared in my Facebook memories today. I'm glad it did! I featured this salad in my FB page a year ago.  Alugbati  (Malabar Spinach)  Salad (Ensaladang Alugbati). This came up when I received for the first time this bouquet of alugbati from Erik, my officemate. He shares with us fruits and veggies fresh from his garden.
