Easy Baked Tilapia

19 July 2009

Easy Baked Tilapia – All Recipes

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Place the tilapia fillets in the bottom of the baking dish and dot with butter. Season with Old Bay seasoning and garlic salt. Top each one with a slice or two of lemon. Arrange the frozen mixed vegetables around the fish, and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cover the dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until vegetables are tender and fish flakes easily with a fork. (Often requires 10 more minutes.)

Beet Brownies

4 July 2009

Thinly slice the following in the food processor and then steam together for 30 minutes:

Add the following to the food processor:

Process well in the food processor. The batter should look pink. Pour it into a greased pyrex 9-1/2 inch glass pie dish. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes. If there’s extra batter, put it into cupcake tins and bake for about 35 minutes.

Here are my remodeled beet brownies. They rock!

They taste good! Kind of like carrot cake, and not like veggies at all. My daughter gobbles them up as soon as I make a batch — in fact I have to limit her or she’ll eat them all in one sitting (not a good idea). Sometimes I add a little cinnamon, to make the brownies (or in our case, muffins, but same recipe) even nicer. Good luck! If you have pecans, I find the pecan butter tastes even better than the almond in this recipe.

Seasoning cast iron

6 January 2009

Ever So Humble, Cast Iron Outshines the Fancy Pans (NYT):

But I’d rather control the process: seasoning is simple, and maintaining it is even simpler. To season a new pan wash it well and dry it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees while you warm the pan gently over low heat on top of the stove. Using a brush or a paper towel, spread a tablespoon or so of a fresh neutral oil like corn or grape seed in the pan; the surface should be evenly covered, with no excess. Put the pan in the oven, bake it for about an hour and let it cool in the oven.

That’s it.

How does one clarify butter?

1 January 2009

Depends on how fussy one is.

Clarified butter is butter that has had the milk solids and water removed. One advantage of clarified butter is that it has a much higher smoke point than regular butter, so you can cook with it at higher temperatures without it browning and burning. Also, without the milk solids, clarified butter can be kept for much longer without going rancid.

It is very easy to make clarified butter. Melt the butter slowly. Let it sit for a bit to separate. Skim off the foam that rises to the top, and gently pour the butter off of the milk solids, which have settled to the bottom. A stick (8 tablespoons) of butter will produce about 6 tablespoons of clarified butter.

Another method is to simmer the butter in a saucepan until the mixture separates. After the water has evaporated, the milk solids will begin to fry in the clear butterfat. When they begin to turn golden, remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter through a fine strainer lined with damp cheesecloth into a heatproof container. If the cheesecloth is damp, all the butterfat will pass through, otherwise some will be absorbed by the cloth. This method is a little fussier, but produces a clearer result.
