Gefilte Marinara - Jamie Geller QED

I wanted a different way to make the gefilte fish, this week and I came across this recipe by Jamie Geller, an author of kosher books.  Mine is not marinara.  It is more Turkish because of what I subbed for the marinara sauce.  I have made gefilte fish in marinara sauce and it is really good but for Passover, I try to change recipes so we can  explore new tastes.

Gefilte Marinara  Adapted from Jamie Geller

Cook Time:    2 hours
Yield:              8 servings

Ingredients:

1 (22-ounce) loaf frozen gefilte fish

1 tablespoon onion powder
1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup matbucha (from bottle)

Method:


1.  Preheat oven to 350° F.  Spray a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

2.  Rinse frozen gefilte loaf under water to remove parchment wrapper and place in prepared pan.

3.  Sprinkle fish with onion powder.

4.  Cover with chopped onion.

5.  Pour matbucha over fish, spreading to thickly coat the top.

6.  Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake at 350° for 2 hours.

7.  Transfer fish to a sealable container, cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.  (I disagree with Jamie.  We love hot or warm gefilte fish and we love it cold too.)

    Sorry I am really in the dark here. I had never heard of gefilte fish, so I went to look it up. I thought I was a real foodie; butI have so much to learn.

    I've never had gefilte fish. This looks like a good starter recipe.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
