For those of you who don't know my husband, let me wax some poetic. He's a meat eater. He once told me that if I had been a vegitarian when we met, he wouldn't have dated me (no no ladies, he's all mine). This man needs some sort of meat product in every meal I make. And don't even think about trying to sneak ground turkey into a burger. He knows that's not ground beef and he's not very happy about it. He is the pickiest eater in my house, which is saying a lot since I have a three year old.
So I was really pushing my luck when I decided to try this fish recipe. It could have been terrible. The only thing I was banking on was the fact that he HAS to try everything on his plate to set a good example for Homeslice. Heh, sucker.
And seriously? He LOVED it. He's even requested it! This was the gateway drug to the grilled bell peppers I made last night (which, by the way, he also loved, ThankYouVeryMuch).
So, if you're the mother (or wife) of a picky eater? Try this. I think it'll go over pretty well!
From A Year of Slow Cooking:
Ingredients:
-- 3 or 4 filets of Tilapia (or other favorite white fish)
--1/4 cup mayonnaise
--1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used cheddar. I've made it before with Parmesan and it was amazing. If I was planning a trip to the store specifically to get ingredients for this dish I would pick Parmesan.)
--juice of 2 lemons
--4 chopped garlic cloves
--pinch each of salt and black pepper
The Directions:
--mix all ingredients (except for the fish. definitely not the fish.) in a bowl
--lay out a piece of foil
--rub sauce mixture on both sides of fish
--fold foil over and make a little packet for the fish
--put all the packets into the crockpot
--cook on LOW for 2-4 hours; fish should flake easily with a fork
PLEASE take care when taking the packet out of the crockpot and when opening it. It will be hot.
