Boiled and Steamed, Boiled and Steamed

Hi All...

Seriously if you want to lose weight but you still want to enjoy great tasting food revert to boiling and steaming your dishes.

Tonight for dinner I boiled sweet potato and golden pumpkin while steaming taufu seasoned with dried chili powder and garlic powder.

Then steamed a cut fillet of dory with lemon and pepper topped with English parsley.

Set up a bed of Aragula and arrange nicely.

Such a great feed all excellent flavours and optional extra is the book on the right.  Tony Parson's new thriller to top it off.

Enjoy!!

Steamed Fish and Vegetarian Ragout

When you think fish you always think to pair with lemon, right?  What happens if there is no lemon in the house?  Pick one of the neighbours tree?  Well yes, you could do that, but I'm not at my parents' place, i'm back at my 33rd floor apartment, with an abundance of skyline, not a lot of lemon trees.

So of course, had to improvise.  Had some tomato puree in the fridge, so thought how about a bed of vegetarian ragout.  What i've done here is heat the puree in a small fry pan with sliced garlic, garlic powder, onion bits, a pinch of paprika, pepper, a little soy sauce and a few drops of apple cider vinegar - just to give it a little more acidity.  Medium heat for about 8 minutes and then fold in one eggs.  Stir it in with a wooden spoon thickening up the ragout.

Remove from the heat and pour the ragout onto the dish.  Gently lay the steamed fillet from the ocean, sprinkle with pepper and parmesan and decorate with rocket lettuce.

It becomes a gorgeous combination of tomato and fish and i guarantee will melt in your melt.

Crispy salmon and steamed veges

I really love eating salmon on a Monday night - gives me something to really look forward to after a grinding Monday at the office.

Normally I steam it but this week the Salmon at Ranch Market with the skin looked fabulous and I really enjoy a crispy, salty salmon skin, so i lightly pan-fried this one in sesame oil, skin side down for 7 minutes then turn over for about a minute.

Enjoy!!
