old bay seasoning

no I didn't give any amounts on purpose, first of all I don't really use them and it depends on what your taste is, and how much your making, and what kind of fish, and how you're going to cook it. Have fun experimenting.

Ground nut stew

This one is for Sister Ahkinyala who always asks about this recipe.
There are alot of different ways to make this and a lot of different ingredients. I usually make this with chicken just because I live with a bunch of candy as......, never mind. O.K. so if you eat beef or pork you can try those meats also, let me know how it tastes I forget. This can also be a very hearty and rich vegetable stew if you take your time and use fresh vegetables, or it can be a quick out of the can or frozen veggie kind of dish.

You start this off like a traditional stew, browning the meat adding water or broth with the veggies
(potatoes, carrots, onion, cabbage, corn, etc.) and cooking slowly until everything is done. Then I add a good amount of extra-crunchy peanut butter at the end. If you like hot food don't forget the crushed red pepper. This is really great served over rice or just by itself. You can cut the vegies and meat small or make it chunky depending on you tastes and cooking time.

Hot Fish salad

O.K. give me a chance to explain. Have you ever had a really good steak salad? Vegetarians, please give me a moment I'll get right back to you. Well a really good steak salad includes, salad greens, fries and cheese and steak. Now back to the non-meat eaters this is a great salad like that, but made with fish.

one orange roughy fillet per person
salad greens and or iceberg lettuce
whatever form of fried potatoes you like
no cheese (unless you insist)
sliced red onion
chopped olives
red wine vinegar
balsalmic vinegar
olive oil (evoo)
margarine or butter

brown fish fillets on both sides in a little butter or margarine, adding the onion when you turn the fish over the first time. Add olives and vinegars just before fish is done so they will be warm and flavor the fish some but not burnt. Add olive oil to pan just before serving so it doesn't cook just warm, and make sure everything is mixed together. Serve fish on top of fries and salad greens using the sauce as the dressing for the salad. This can also be a little lighter by omitting the fries.
