Baked snapper again - sooo easy & sooo tasty, with ratatouille, mashed spuds & steamed cauli & broccoli:

For the snapper: enough fillets / pieces for your needs.

In a mortar & pestle mash / smash most of a bunch of coriander ( I did this for 3 of us use more or less) , lime juice, chopped lemongrass, salt, pepper, some cut chilli to personal taste & a little bit of olive oil. Mash it / smash it good.

Marinate the fish by putting some of the mix on top of the fillets & place in the fridge or if you haven't got time get a long piece of baking paper. Put a bit of mix on the bottom, the lay the fillet on the mix & then put the mix on top of the fillet. Close the baking paper by making an envelope so steam / juices don't get out - bake for about 10-15mmins according the size & thickness of he snapper. Beautiful & yummy - could substitute salt for a little soy sauce - but this could over power it.

Not much of a fish eater.

Doing a rack of lamb in the Tagine, mashed spuds and steamed veges. Bit of gravy, yum.

How are you doing the lamb that is, what are you flavouring with?

Nothing but a bit of Outback spirit tasmanian pepper salt rubbed into the fat and meat. Also works beautiful on a roast Pork.

Came out beautiful in the Tagine, got one with the cast iron hotplate bottom, just seared the outside, put the traffic cone on top, turned it right down and let it cook through

While the women in the house had tuna patties (fodmap style) & salad I bought a roast chook on the way home. Went to spin class. At home made a ratatouille (leek, tomato, capsicum, zucchini & mushrooms with parsely), mashed spuds & steamed broccoli, beans & the last bits of cauli from the garden for one!!

Now to think about tomorrows dinner for 3.

? Baked stuffed capsicums.
? Vege sauce & zucchini pasta
? stir fry veg & tofu
? baked spuds with various salads as well as kidney beans, tomatoes with cumin / onion etc , corn, yoghurt...

Ok you got me thinking-well at lunch time at least! Pulled some nice steaks out the freezer, when I got sick of paperwork I grabbed the karcher and started cleaning up the alfresco. Chucked some veggies onto steam, beer batter chips in the dry fryer, eggs and damn good steak! Topped with some wine infused gravy. Mmmm bloody good tucker!

Back from the warmth of FNQ and back into the kitchen.

Pork rashers with sweet potato mash, silver beet and some other steamed veges.
