Last year we had some people over and I made some tasty bits to accompany wine and the TV,. We haven’t made any plans yet will have to get onto the phone in the morning perhaps it’s always fun to share these experiences.
We have been trying to see as many if the nominated movies as possible and in the last week have seen
“Michael Clayton” Go George – “ Juno” lots of tears and laughter and today we saw the delightful “The Bucket List” with the brilliant talents of Jack Nicolson and Morgan Freeman,. We both loved it. Laughing and crying again.
All wonderful movies/
I have decided to refrain from dairy food for a couple of months.
I have had problems with my feet and my masseuse Arlen. (I spent probably one of the most painful hours with him in a long time…but as they say it’s got to be good for you) Anyway he suggested that I should just cut back on dairy…stop clogging my arteries for a couple of months and see how I feel.
Hopefully I might lose some weight as well.
What's the bet Dale loses heaps and I lose about a pound!!!
So I am being very creative and we have been having some fun food.
So tonight I thought here’s a take on Fish Burger and Chips.
The Burger
300 gms fresh tuna (doesn’t have to be sashimi quality)
5-6 drops sesame oil
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
Zest 1 lime
Juice 1 lime
2 tablespoons spring onions finely chopped
2 tablespoons ginger grated
2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
Good shake chili flakes
Olive oil
First chop the tuna into little dice
Place in bowl
Add rest of ingredients let sit about 30 minutes to meld the flavours
Shape into 2 patties
Now the Kumara Chips
Peel 1 large kumara
Cut 4 thick slices
Pop into the microwave for 5mins with a little water
Dry and spray with olive oil both sides
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
Into 200C oven 10 minutes
Turn and back for another 10 minutes
They should be nice and golden
Remove and set aside
Heat a grill pan to smoking hot
Spray with olive oil
Place on pan cook 1 minute 1 side
Turn and cook for another 1 minutes
This should be enough don't over cook them
To serve
Put on piece of roasted Kumara Chip on your plate
Top with burger and place the other slice on the top.
I think the corn was a good accompaniment .
Quickly 4 minutes in the microwave in it's skin.
I'm sorry I cheated. Rolled it in a little butter.
It really is the only way for me.

Very satisfying…very healthy
