I took some snapper and flounder out last night to cook tonight and tomorrow. Not sure what sauce I'll pair them with but ... at least it reduces the freezer load.

I had some salmon in the freezer that I wanted to use, along with some squid and scallops. So I made my Thai Fish Stew for dinner last night. It's been a while since I have,I'd forgotten how quick and easy it is, and also how delicious.



Fish: chunks of filleted salmon, squid, etc
Raw prawns
Can of coconut milk
Ginger, finely chopped
Spring onions, chopped
Fresh chilli, sliced
Lemongrass (bruised)
Red Pepper, sliced
Pak choi

Empty the coconut milk into a wok, plus half a can of water. Add the ginger, bruised lemongrass and sliced chilli. Bring almost to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the peppers and onions, and simmer for a further couple of minutes. Add the fish and pak choi, cook for a further 5 minutes, and then throw in the prawns. As soon as they turn pink, take off the heat. Remove the lemongrass stalk and serve.

Well, I cooked the snapper - and it was a bust. :-( The flounder wasn't bad.

I should try it. DH love to buy them but doesn't eat them enough. I like the every so often. When you thaw them out and cut tttthem, are they green inside or do they oxidize and turn black?

We were away from home for part of last week, so my forays into the freezer consisted only of pulling out some baked chicken pieces that I had made the week before, but not eaten entirely before we left. So not so much "eating down", but a quick turnaround of putting them in, and pulling them out again 5 days later.
Today however I'll be cooking porkchops that I got some time ago at our farmers' market, from the Mangalitza pig farmer. Mangalitza is a heritage breed from Hungary, also known as lard pig, because they have so much fat, or wool pig, because they have curly hair, rather like a sheep's wool. These chops have a fat border that is at least 1/2" thick. The meat tastes delicious too. :-)

Aren't you lucky to have nice fatty pork like that!
I would love that fat border with meat that you can actually enjoy eating because it's not so dry like the commercial stuff.

I have some frozen lamb chops that I will thaw out next.

I pulled a huge pack of chicken drums out on the weekend, and turned it into chicken stew, chicken broth and kitty food.

For tonight, I just pulled a package of back bacon.
