Notes
|
2 fillets of Tilapia
|
£4
|
I’ve never had Tilapia before. It’s
a really soft fish- more like a bottom feeder than something muscular like
Cod
|
1 lemon
|
25p
|
|
2 avocados
|
£1.50
|
Often in Reduce To Clear because
they’re ripe for about a day
|
Quinoa
|
We’re using about 40ps worth here
|
It’s harder to find (Waitrose
only). However, it is more delicious than couscous, with the highest protein
percentage of all the grains, and contains no wheat (for all you coeliacs)
|
1 can value chopped tomatoes
|
38p
|
Sainsbury’s basics ones are
actually the best. Nice red colour, come in a carton not a jar. Edit:
They now sell versions with herbs in them. Cool story, Sainsbury’s.
|
Splash of red wine
|
15p
|
Don’t bother with fancy wine here,
it’s really just to give it some depth
|
1 tomato
|
15p
|
|
4 handfuls baby spinach leaves
|
Bag costs about 75p, we’re using
about 30ps worth
|
Delicious go-to salad because it
doesn’t have a disappointingly airy texture like other salad bits
|
1 onion
|
10p
|
|
2 cloves garlic
|
10p
|
|
2 handfuls tortilla chips
|
20p
|
|
2 handfuls mushrooms
|
50p
|
Mushrooms are delicious and
underrated. Buy the ugly buggers from Tesco Market Value- they’re getting
chopped up anyway…
|
Chopped parsley
|
30p
|
Growing herbs (of the culinary
kind) in your student digs will make it look prettier and disguise
generic student smells. Also you can eat them

· Small
saucepan for couscous
· Grill pan
(or roasting dish with a cooling rack inside)
· Chopping
board and knife
· Small bowl
and spoon for baste
· Spatula
· Possibly a
pastry brush, if you have one (NB: Buy a silicone pastry brush. You
can get them from supermarkets. Ones with actual hairs will leave actual hairs
on your food and your friends will question your personal hygiene)
Method:
Different bowl shows we mean business |
1. Guacamole (slightly non-traditional due to allergies of those being fed)
a. Finely chop 1 onion, 2 avocados, 1 tomato and 1 clove of garlic and
shove in a bowl
b. Add the juice of half a lemon and a tablespoon of chopped parsley, and a
pinch of salt
c. Mix together, then transfer to a fancier bowl to make it look like hard
work
d. Shove in fridge until you’re ready to serve
2 . Tomato Quinoa
a. Put a third as much quinoa as you want to eat in a
saucepan
b. Add 1 ½
times as much liquid as there is quinoa in with it. In this recipe, put a tin
of chopped tomatoes on it, a splash of red wine, a squeeze of lemon juice, and 2
teaspoons of sugar (otherwise it will just dissolve your face when you
try to eat it) – and some chopped parsley to continue our parsley theme here
c. Put on the hob on a high heat and stir frequently with a wooden spoon.
Just make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom. Sort the tilapia out
now
i. Cooking the quinoa will require some attention. Things with tomato based
sauces love to ‘catch’ (burn) and ruin your meal, so keep stirring. It ought to
look a bit frogspawny after about 5 minutes- if it starts sticking to the
bottom at that time, put a splash more water in it
ii. After 10-14 minutes it should be done
3. Tilapia
a. Turn the grill on high
b. Make a baste
i. Put a squeeze of lemon juice, a tablespoon of olive oil, a tablespoon of
chopped parsley and 1 tsp salt
ii. Mix together to emulsify (stop the water and oil
separating and make it thicker)
c. Paint the baste onto the fish with
either a pastry brush (if you’re cool) or your fingers (if you don’t bake
enough pies and therefore have no pastry brush)
e. Pop the tilapia under the grill for 4 minutes, then flip until it’s all
white with no visible rawness remaining
4. Garlic-y mushrooms
a. Put a handful of quartered mushrooms into a small saucepan with 1 tbp of
olive oil, on high heat
b. Once they have ungratefully sucked up all the moisture and are making “we
might just be burning” noises, add 2 tsp butter or margarine to the pan (don’t
ask me why they won’t absorb this one), a pinch of salt, and 1 clove chopped
garlic
c. Keep stirring for about 3 more minutes until it smells excellent
5. Plate up
a. Flop the quinoa into a sieve if
there’s any water lurking about still, then back in the pan, then a bit on your
plate
b. Arrange
spinach leaves and garlic-y mushrooms artfully
c. Slice the Tilapia fillets down the middle
and put half on the plate
d. Slop a little guacamole on
the side, add ready salted Doritos for classiness
e. Chow down
