WARNING: This assumes you already have the basics of cooking down. This is not a recipe. If you don't know how to cook, watch Good Eats.
GET:
- 1/2 pound of tilapia
- 1/2 medium Vidalia onion (or some such sweet onion)
- 1 quart of grape tomatoes
- 2 haas avocados
- garlic
- cilantro
- lime juice
- oil
- white wine
- salt
- black pepper
- cumin
- chili powder (the not spicy red kind)
- red pepper - optional (the spicy kind)
COOK:
- Chop up the onion and garlic
- Throw the onion and garlic and some salt a fry pan with some oil
- While that's cooking, chop up the tomatoes into thirds or quarters
- Cook the onions until they start to get clear, add lime juice if you need to lube the pan
- When the onions are clear add all the tomatoes
- Spicy up the veggie stuff with salt, peppers, chili and cumin
- Add some more lime juice as the water in the tomatoes cooks off
- Cook the veggies until they're a good bit mushy
- Add in pieces of fish, just kinda move the veggies out of the way and pile them on the fish a bit
- We're not looking for any sort of dry heat here so add more lime if the pan gets too dry
- Add some wine and reduce the thing until it tastes fucking awesome
- Turn off the heat
- Tear up a good handful of cilantro, sprinkle it over the whole lot and let it wilt
- Plate the fish and slop
- Get the good bits of the avocado out and put it on the mess
EAT:
- Serves two with no side or starch
- Might serve three or four with rice
- You can probably go up to a full pound of fish and still be ok on tomatoes, we just really like the tomatoes part
