chopped garlic with juices

Olive oil

Brush tilapia with olive oil.

Mix the chopped vegetables and cilantro in a separate bowl.

Sprinkle seasoning over top of fish liberally. Now for the cayenne pepper… imagine you are crop dusting the fish. This is so you aren’t putting too much per fish. Remember your serrano peppers will take over the heat aspect.

Preheat oven 400 degrees. Cover the fish in vegetables and chopped cilantro. Sprinkle over chopped garlic.

Faux Orange Chicken

**The only thing orange about this dish is the color courtesy of Goya!** Thus it being named Faux Orange Chicken. It has undertones of Mexican and Caribbean cuisine with a little spice. A very quick stir-fry to fix and beat the race against the sun.

Ingredients:

3 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts diced

1 onion sliced

1 green bell pepper sliced

1 Serrano pepper finely chopped

1/2 bunch of cilantro chopped

1/2 a bar of Goya Pasta de Achiote Annatto Paste sliced

3 packages of Goya Sazon (Coriander & Annatto)

1/2 tablespoon turmeric

2 cups of water

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

sea salt to taste

black pepper to taste

vegetable oil

Throw the chicken and vegetables in a large wok with vegetable oil on the bottom. Turn the stove on medium heat.

Cut the Pasta de Achiote Annatto Paste in half like this and slice it up. Save the other half for another meal.

Now combine all the seasonings including cilantro and toss so everything is thoroughly seasoned. Add the two cups of water.

As this dish simmers, periodically toss it to make sure the chicken and vegetables are cooked through.

I served with jasmine rice and sweet peas.

Garam Masala Scramble

This new twist on eggs was inspired by a Youtube video I watched a while back. A popular street vendor in India was making some amazing scrambled eggs. All I wanted was smell-o-vision at that point. I didn’t know what spices he used so I decided to use my imagination today. Thankfully, I have a very vivid one and knack for putting flavors together in my head based on what they individually taste like and the strength of the spice.

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons of Garam Masala

2 dashes turmeric

2 dashes cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ginger

sea salt

1 teaspoon Rick’s Hot & Spicy All-Purpose Seasoning (Spicy blend)

black pepper

tomato chopped

onion chopped

2 cloves finely chopped

mushrooms chopped

3 eggs

1/2 Serrano pepper chopped

vegetable oil

Combine the eggs, mushrooms, serrano peppers, and onions in a bowl. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper to taste. Then add the garam masala, turmeric, cumin, paprika, ginger, All-purpose seasoning.

Whisk it all together.

On medium heat in a little vegetable oil fry the egg mixture. Add the tomatoes last.

I served with half an avocado on the side.
