I keep getting an itch to do different things in the kitchen. So last week I made this:
It's nothing special. You simply scale, clean, season, and fry the fish. Wash a few leaves of lettuce and lay them in the plate. Place the fish on the lettuce. Sprinkle with corn.
The corn was actually boiled on the cob. However, I haven't been feeling quite up to eating it from the cob for quite some time, and decided to try seeing how I'd feel adter removing it from the cob, and it worked.
Simply place one end of the cob on a flat, clean, level surface, align the knife at the base of the corn and slide it down until it reaches the end. Turn the cob, and repeat until all of the corn is off the cob.
But I sure think this is:
It looks good. Does it not? Here's how to make it.
Combine salt, sugar, baking powder, and white rice flour. Mix egg, and oil.stir the egg mixture into the rice flour. Pour the batter into the heated oil. Turn once and remove. Place on a paper towel to drain oil. You can check the recipe I followed here.
Wash and slice the eggplant(s) vertically. Toss them in grounded salted seasoning. And then toss them in flour so that it covers them. The flour will prevent the eggplant from falling apart, or sticky in the pan.the flour can also be substituted with egg. Fry until golden brown, or just lightly kissed. Remove from pan and place on paper towel to drain excess oil.
Wash, peel, cut vertically, remove all seeds and string, and dice the butternut squash. Place in a pot go boil until they are tender. Remove from water and mash thoroughly. Add milk/butter while mashing. Continue until it reaches a soup-like consistency. Season with salt to taste. For a soup without the small chunky bits of squash, mash for longer, or puree in a blender.
Get those lettuce leaves, plate, and enjoy.
And, the best part of both is how ridiculously easy they are to make.
Try it and tell me what you think.
As you may notice I didn't follow any recipe with strict measurement. In Antigua, it is not the norm. We have a cultural habit of cooking by feeling.
I am hoping to make sweet potato chips, and rice flour cookies pretty soon. And I am ever so giddy.
