A blog site that I follow, Our Growing Paynes, http://ourgrowingpaynes.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/roasted-mushroom-and-parsnip-ravioli/ gave me wonderful idea for what to do with my aging parsnips and mushrooms that were giving me bitter looks in the downstairs refrigerator and my loving, friendly romano beans that were just happy to see me.
Thank you Virginia, this is a new family favorite 🙂 In the freezer section I had a couple of packages wrapped in white paper that I thought were duck breasts but that instead turned out to be mystery fish. The texture of the fillets were somewhat like skate but not, maybe they were just dry.
Anyway, deep frying conquers all and I experienced a happy moment of nostalgia when I used the Abdoulaye strainer method for draining the fish.You just take a vegetable strainer, line it with paper towels and set it on top of a plate to catch any excess oil.
The home made tartar sauce with my French cornichons http://cookinginsens.com/2012/04/13/the-perfect-fish-cake-with-homemade-tartar-sauce/ was fabulous as always. Make some!
Roasted Parsnips, Mushrooms and Romano Beans
1/2 lb parsnips, peeled, halved vertically, then sliced
1/2 lb mushrooms, thickly sliced
1/2 lb romano beans, cut into thirds
3 large garlic cloves, cut into fourths vertically
1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
1 tbsp fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt
Pepper
3 tbsp olive oil
Mix all ingredients together then roast in a 425 F oven for 15 minutes. Remove, stir and return to the oven, continuing to roast for another 10 minutes.
Crispy Fried Fish
1 1/2 lb white fish fillets, cut into serving size and seasoned with salt and pepper
1 cup flour
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Peanut oil
Mix the flour and bread crumbs together and dredge the fish fillets in the mixture. Fry in the peanut oil until golden brown.
Wine suggestion: Muscadet
I love the idea of deep frying conquering all. Look forward to trying this dish. 😉
Thank you Cynthia. And it does conquer all 🙂
Oh this looks lovely! Thanks for referencing me as well. That’s always appreciated! 🙂
You are welcome.
Lovely and i have no fear of frying, so would definitely make this!
Hopefully you’ll come up with something a little better than mystery fish 🙂
I can’t believe it – a recipe that would get past the La Moussiere customs post:)
And it was good too 🙂
Looks yummy and I am definitely trying that combination!
Thank you, Irena. It was a nice surprise.
Parsnips and mushrooms, two of my favorites!
And now mine 🙂
Mmm that ALL looks good! I have have mystery fish in the freezer too, which I’d use, but the date of freezing is also a mystery 🙁
Sounds like a job for deep frying 🙂
‘Deep frying conquers all’ – spoken like a true American :D. Looks great though, Rosemary.
Thank you Frugal, I am à true Américan.
You’re too much!
🙂
This meal looks amazing Rosemary. I especially dig the fried fish –yum!
Thank you Anne.
Wonderful meal!
Thank you Greg.
I’m pleased to see that you added a wine suggestion – great idea!
Thank you.
Nice to see a non meaty dish in here. Love it
