That Simple

posted on: Tuesday, April 15, 2008

Yesterday I had wanted to get dinner ready before heading out to the doctor with Enzo and before the afternoon because I had school in the afternoon. So, I had some talapia and decided to try something new. It took me 15 minutes total prep and cooking time. I love simple recipes and need to be reminded to use them more. I was inspired by the COSTCO cookbook but made modifications so here is my recipe.

TILAPIA IN PESTO SAUCE

  • 4 talapia fillets
  • 1/2 cup white grape juice
  • 3 tablespoons pesto
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  1. pour the juice on a frying pan and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the talapia fillets and cook in medium heat for about 4 minutes on each side
  3. when the fish is done cooking bring it down to a simmer
  4. mix the pesto, heavy cream and butter to make a sauce
  5. add the sauce to the fish fillets and let simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. add salt and pepper to taste and serve warm
I made it at 9:00 am and only had it at 6:00pm. All that time I had my house smelling like pesto. I love pesto so this is a good thing. I had a friend come over and comment that it was amazing I took Enzo to the doctor in the morning, was in school all afternoon, and had an elaborate dinner ready. I felt sneaky and didn't tell her that it actually was super easy and only took me 15 minutes. he, he, he

  1. Hi:

    Your receipe looks good, but I'd chose something other than tilapia next time. It's worse for you than donuts, hamburgers, or bacon. If you're interested you can learn more at http://www.newrinkles.com/index.php/archive/tilapia-something-fishy/
