Green, greener, greenest
The theme of this post is going green. So should I choose green vegetables, organic or shall I only use greens in my dish? I decided to combine everything.
Arugula, which stands in my herb garden (though many people will probably not plant it in there), now has beautiful delicate leaves. Delicious juicy, full of flavor, and very nutty. I sowed wild rocket because the nutty flavor is much fuller.
Pangasius filet
Pangasius is a family of catfish and is a whitefish. It contains few calories, but still contains all the good qualities of fish.
Pangasius doesn't have a distinct flavor and it tastes much better when you add seasonings like salt, pepper, herbs, and lemon.
You can prepare it in many different ways (steaming, poaching), but this recipe I've decided to bake the fish (with a crunchy layer). If you want a "slimmer" version, then let the flower behind and steam the fish for 15 minutes at 430 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) in an aluminum foil package. Certainly very very tasty!
