I cooked some\'en: Talapia with purple potatoes

JLOCKHART29

Got this recipe several years ago from my little Italian gal on Food Network Giada. Done it several times and always a good hearty meal.

4 (4- to 6-ounce) tilapia fillets
8 to 12 ounces purple potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh minced rosemary leaves, plus 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup minced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Place the fish fillets on a work surface and season with salt and pepper. Top each of the fillets with enough slices of potato to completely cover the surface of the fish, overlaying the potatoes like shingles. Sprinkle the potatoes with a bit more salt and pepper, and the 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves.

Heat a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the butter. When the butter is melted and the oil is hot add the fish, potato side down. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the fish is cooked through, about 15 to 17 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, chives, the remaining 1 tablespoon rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl.

To serve, place the fish on serving plates, potato side up. Drizzle the fish and the plate with the chive oil. Serve immediately.

The raws:


Layered the potatoes like this and preheat the La Cresuit to 375.


The trick to this cook is to flip the fish and potatoes over to cook then flip back and keep it all togeather.


While this was cook'en I took a couple shots of the new rib eyes in the pasture along with our new 2 year old tested Brangas bull who is as the pic shows really mean! :laugh: Wife named the bill Humphery.




Some steamed corn with a little La Bomba just finnished the meal. Not the corn Jake snatched out for his supper in his mouth! Didn't even wait on the prayer. :laugh:




Glad everyone had fun in Fl!! Haven't heard from bill yet so he might have missed his plane today and still passed out in a shrub outside some where in Fla! Pat keep a look out will ya!

Nice. Green onions and Jalapenos are a food group in our house. I eat GO's with almost every meal. Nice cook.

Got 36 seed planted in set pots now. 12 each of ADP's as they are known on the forum (caribian reds, a hot form of habanero's), JOLOKIA'S the worlds hottest pepper, and some little Mexican peppers I have grown for the last few years that I got from a good guy at the local Mexican resturant his cousion had in his pocket when he eased over the border one fall afternoon!

I'll be honest Hoss. The wife wanted extra potatoes tonight so I double layered them for her and on the flip after cooking a lot came seperated. Single layered isn't that hard but double after a few refrshments just didn't work like it was supposed to! :laugh: The beuty of the forum is I could take a "do over" for the forum post! :P Little bull is still young and in late winter shape. By next fall he will be much more filled out. Dad is retired distric manager for a large oil company and still has a lot of rich oil people he is friends with. This bull is from one of them and is from better stock than we should be able to afford but got the good buddy discount. Some really nice blood in him. Just got tired of pure black angus as they are really aloof in my experance. We want "pets" and unlike what a lot of folks think a proper socialized brama are just big dogs and the cross gives us the black which brings more and the disposion to work with a hand full of range cubes!

Hard enough training him to "go" on his paper. Sometimes you got to pick whats important! :laugh:

Just got in about 4 emails from bill written over the course of the last 3 days from the Fl Fest all written aparantly in verious states of mental abality. Seem from what I can tell he had a blast, walked into a head shop by mistake and said he knew a biker :pinch: and Zippy's was in some kind of miget car going to be toed by a 100 ton capacity toe truck with the only working GPS between the two of them. This was all the 1st day trying to find the motel! :laugh: Made it home this evening and work in the morning. Pat its safe. Seems all the trash have now left the state!

FlaPoolman

hahahaha He told me about stopping in the smoke shop and then finding out they didn't have any tobacco products :laugh: :laugh: We had a blast Saturday night and after his class I think he might even be able to cook by sound now. :S :woohoo: :laugh:
