Shrimp-Herring dish





I love smoked herring. It's been an accompanying piece whenever I eat beans, black-eyed peas etc. My favourite part is the egg sack/roe. But in this case the store only sells small (really small) sliced herring fillets. Since it's so salty, we put it together in a dish containing shrimp and veggies.

  • 1 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 small slices of smoked herring
  • Shrimp
  • Frozen vegetables of your choice
We eyeballed the vegetables and shrimp. You can put however many you want that will suit your needs. In this case, it served two.

We thawed the vegetables as well as the herring and shrimp.

Place everything together in a cookware (drizzle the olive oil and soy sauce on top) and set in a preheated oven at 300 degrees F for 10 minutes. Just ten. We don't want all the nutrients to go away.

The result is a delicious, saucy meal that's been enriched by the aroma provided by the herring, which is hiding underneath the vegetables and shrimp. We placed 2 herring slices on each side of the dish.

Quich and easy, delicious and healthy!

Hope you like it :)





PS: There's a lot of sauce that will be left over in your cookware. Don't let it go to waste. I put it in along with the food and took some pita bread, tore it up and let it absorb the liquid. It was so good!

Haddock Patties with lemon

Today we are making Haddock Patties. I'll start off with a photo of the final product.
Like what you see?

It's garnished with apple-cranberry sauce on top, with veggies all around it.

This is quite different from any of the recent recipes I've put up but it is really tasty. I usually am not a big fan of haddock. I don't like how it tastes and I absolutely do NOT like fish and chips. In this case, the bland taste of the haddock is overpowered by the lemony taste and the mustard we put it. It turned out really good.



Ingredients for 2 patties
  • juice from one lemon
  • 4 small Haddock fillets
  • 1 tablespoon black sesame
  • 3 tablespoons apple-cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons glutinous rice-flour - will be used as a thickening agent
  • 2 servings of frozen vegetables of your choice - thawed
 Instructions
Place the haddock fillets in a pot with the lemon juice. Put it over a medium heat and cook it for 30 minutes.

After it's cooked, mash it up, making sure the haddock absorbs and mixes with the lemon. Add the mustard, black sesame, apple sauce (counter-balancing the lemon) and rice flour and continue mashing it up.

When it's mixed together to your liking, give your mixture shape, by forming it into a patty
.
Here's our patty, garnished with apple-cranberry sauce on top.

Add your thawed vegetables (warm them up first! I warmed them up for 10 minutes) in your plate and you're ready!


Hope you like it and enjoy it guys.

Thanks for reading!
