You can't go wrong poaching fish, at least I haven't found a way. I unpacked my
ceramic fish poacher (click link for a more detailed description about the poacher and how I use it; you can also poach fish with various other methods and containers on the stove top). and decided to try it in my new home. I thawed a thick piece of mahi I purchased from Ingles grocery in the frozen section. Leaving the skin on (helps hold the fish together when cooked) I cut the fish in serving sized pieces and placed them in the poacher. I cut up mushrooms, fresh ginger, 1/8 red onion and yellow and orange bell pepper into small pieces and sprinkled over the top of the fish.
I added one cup of white wine, one quarter cup of white balsamic vinegar, and drizzled some honey and spicy red pepper sauce over the top. I covered the poacher and placed in a cold oven set to 400 F. I baked the fish for half an hour. Meanwhile I cooked the rice. Serve immediately and drizzle the vegetables mixture over the top of the fish and on the rice if you like. I have a goal to make some dishes I can present my recipes here. I never seem to keep any of my own pottery to use; I need to change that.
In other news, we sold the motor home yesterday. Gary is in Florida with three people interested in our bus, keep your fingers crossed for the bus to find a new home. The other day we found a used furniture store and picked up a few items for a our new home.
Perusing
Pinterest, (you can follow me there) I found some ideas for a few do-it-yourself furniture projects. Like up-cycling an old door for a headboard and using pallet wood for furniture. Things are falling into place slowly but surely. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
UPDATE: The bus just sold, yippee, we are so lucky this week !!!
