#29: Garlic-Crusted Fish Steak in Citrus Butter

Actually, we were already eating when I said:
"WAIT! Don't mangle the fish yet! It still has no photo!"
Good thing it's still a bit intact for my cameraphone, hahaha!

This is what I cook when I'm feeling lazy because this is very, VERY easy. I must admit though that fish steak slices may be more expensive than your usual tilapia but if you think about it,you get more meat and less fish bones in these steaks. 




But do not take this dish lightly because you might be taken aback by how good this one is. Take this, 5 ingredients. Good eh? You may use blue marlin or pink salmon if your budget can afford it. Or, a simple mahi-mahi slice should do the job. Cream Dory fillets may also work but you have to thaw and drain it well because it seems that those fillets have a lot of water in them. Tsk,tsk! If I use it for this dish, I end up with my steaks swimming in its juice, therefore, I am not able to create a crispy crust for the steak. So are you ready? 

#28: Mga Anak ng Pesto! (...and its many applications)

Now that you have your jar of pesto sitting prettily on your pantry, it's time to meet her different daughters.


Pesto Toast:
You have to toast your bread first before spreading the pesto. Spreading the pesto before toasting will result in sogginess on the areas with the pesto. Go ahead and be generous! Don't scrimp on yourself on this one!

#26: My Garlic, My Hero

Taking off from the sharp garlic from our pesto recipe, let me share this with you:

"Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.” Ezekiel 47:12

#25: Pestong Buhay Ito! (The Basic Pesto Recipe)

Ahhh... pesto. The refreshing pasta sauce that is friends with a lot of good things in the savory world. Not only is it elegant, it is also utterly easy to make, especially with a blender. I did my first pesto manually by chopping the basil and garlic until it was ultra fine. I almost feel redundant to say this but yes, our featured ingredient for this recipe is, what else? Basil!
