i loweeeeeeeeee fish. but i dont know how to de-bone it. ive talked to real fishermen (real west and east coasters) they gave me instructions and none of them has worked so far...


i prefer a whole fish. the fish fillet stuff seems too inorganic to me. thanks.

3) Then add tomato and water. cover and let it simmer on low heat for 45 mins. Keep stiring every 10 mins for a few seconds.
4) When there is 10 mins left, add the bell peppers and green chili peppers.
5) One last time stir everything, do a test to see if the chicken is done by cutting with the spoon/fork. If it's not, then let it simmer on low heat for another 5-10 mins more.
6) Ready to serve.


Jazakallahkhairun One tomatoe? How many does this serve?

I cooked a randm thing today - speghetti with cream, garlic, corgette, topped with philadephia (cream cheese) seasoned etc. Was nice but heavy. Tried to replicate the pasta we had at the italian place yesterday. Mustard might have been a nice addition, actually.

I've got some frozen chicken breast in my fridge and I need to cook it. I'm tired of using desi salan styles though. Any suggestions? I'm thinking lo mein or chicken burritos or something....

to be honest..i'm not sure if it was about 1lb or not. my meat usually comes in two pound packages, so i had used the left over chicken cubes. i think there were about 12 pieces but some where big so i cut them into halves.

i hope that was helpful.

omg. i just made the most amaaaaaazing stuff in like 2 seconds..pure improvisation and abrupt burst of creative genius, i tell you

i had some lean ground beef in the fridge..already boiled. my mom knows i eat differently so every week she'll boil or lightly spice chicken (very rarely beef cuz i dont eat it that much at all) and leave it in the fridge because she knows i build my meals off of those 'bases'

sooooo much props to my mom

i see lean ground beef in the fridge and im like, what to do. so i remember my mom told me it's not cooked properly yet. and before i eat it or make something out of it i should cook it more. so im like okayyyy im starving here. hello.

so i take some of that beef, and fry it in some olive oil on low heat. then, i find half a piece of a huge lemon in the fridge and i squeezed it in its entirety on the beef. so basically, the lemon was the most dominant flavor. let it cook some more. added some garlic powder, oregano, parsley...and cooked some more.

then i increased the heat for a few seconds and let everything cook on high...took it off the stove and while it was still in the pan, mixed fresh basil leaves, pinch of crumbled feta cheese, and shredded parmesan.

and then i tossed it around so the cheese melted nciely all the way through..and i didnt want to put too much cheese because this whole thing is already extra fattening. and if i'd let the cheese sit it would clump in spots and the taste wouldnt be universal..it helps if you use strongly flavored cheeses like i did, because every bit is full of flavor so you need less to emphasize the flavor

after tossing i ate it with wheat pita

however..this got me thinking about how this would be absolutely AWESOME with pasta. it had a really good italian style taste/smell to it. i think i would really love to try this out with pasta and a garlic/butter/lemon sauce

also, i was thinking of cutting up pita, using a little more cheese and some tomato paste and then topping pita pieces with the beef and baking lightly.

would make for awesome appetizers.

also useful for tacos...a nice italian/mexican cross
