Curry Fish Stew

I realized that I haven't cooked fish in a while. When I went grocery shopping, I bought some wild alaskan cod and coconut milk. Had an idea that I was going to make some kind of fish stew. This is how it turned out...

Curry Fish Stew
Prep Time: 15 min      Cook Time 25 minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb of fish (I used Wild Alaskan Cod)
1 can light coconut milk
1 onion (diced)
some bell peppers
cauliflower
carrots
tomatoes
2 tsp curry powder
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Chop the onion. Cook it in a medium to large pot for three minutes until soften. Add all the other veggies. Bell peppers, cauliflower, tomatoes, and carrots are just some options. Sprinkle some salt. Basically, I added whatever I had on hand in my refrigerator.

After about five minutes, add the fish (I use filleted fish).  Sprinkle some salt on top. Spoon some of the veggie mixture on top of the fish. Cook for about another 20 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!!

Mexican Casserole

For Christmas Eve, I had a request to make my Mexican Casserole. I had to go to the grocery store to pick up tortillas on Christmas Eve. The line was long but as long as you are prepared to wait, it's not so bad.

Mexican Casserole

Prep Time: 20 min     Bake Time: 30 min

Ingredients:

tortillas (I used corn tortillas. About 10 small ones.)

1 lb ground meat

1 small onion (diced)

1 cup salsa

1 corn

1 black beans

1/2 cup salsa

a little butter/oil for the pan

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Melt a little butter in a pan. Add diced onions to cook. After about three minutes, add the ground meat. When the meat is browned, remove some of the liquid by pouring it out or using a spoon. Add salsa, black beans, and corn. Your mixture is finished.

In an 8x8 pan, cover the bottom with corn tortillas. Spoon about half the mixture on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on the mixture. Cover the cheese with another layer of tortillas. Spoon the other half of the mixture on top of the tortillas. Then add another cheese layer and tortilla layer. Put a layer of salsa on top.

From the bottom:

Bake the casserole at 350F for half an hour. Pull it out to top the salsa with a cheese layer. Bake for another five minutes to melt the top layer of cheese.

Cut and serve. Enjoy!! =)
