That's easy. Here's my recipe:
1. Take plane to UK
2. Go into a snack bar
3. Order fish & chips
4. Disregard the vinegar and use lemon juice instead.
5. Fly home
If that's too elaborate, try alternative recipe:
1. Buy frozen deep-fried fish and a lemon
2. Bake in oven (fish only)
3. Squeeze some lemon juice over the fish
Ta-da! Ain't I a famous chef? ;)
Seruously, battered and deep-fried fish is the only kind I like. Kind of fish fingers for adults. :laugh:
Otherwise fish = eeewww to me. One of the reasons is that no matter how bone-free a fish is guaranteed to be, there's always one person at the table who does have a fishbone. And that person is always me. :P
Front-Ranger:
They don't have fish and chips in Germany?? Chrissi, I think vinegar would also work, since it's made from grapes!
Sonja, your recipe sounds wonderful...more details please!
Sason:
Ha! I haven't cooked that fish for at least 10 years, but I managed to find the recipe! ;D
I remember it being quite easy:
600 g cod filet
1 large chopped onion
1-2 tbsp butter
2-2½ tbsp flour
½ dl concentrated orange juice
3-3½ dl fish broth
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground ginger
1 package of grean beans (I think there are 300 or 400 g in one package)
1 orange cut in slices
Directions:
Saute the onion in butter or margarine, without browning it. Add the flour and then the liquid.
Cut the fish into cubes. Add fish and beans in the pan. Simmer on low heat for ca 10 min.
Season with ginger and salt. Garnish with orange slices and serve with rice.
I seem to remember that I added more ginger and salt.
Voila!
Front-Ranger:
Awesome! I have everything except the orange and the onion. I'll get those today and make the dish this week!!
It was a close race between Sonja and Chrissi but Sonja edged by with a more detailed recipe...and one that didn't hinge on intercontinental flights!
So, as the winner, Sonja, you get to choose the ingredients (two or three) for the next challenge. Don't make it too easy!!
Sason:
I won!! I won!!! I won!!!!! I won!!!! I wooooooon!!!!!! I'm the wiiiiiiinneeeeeeeerrrrrr!!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
