White FISH with Oyster Mushrooms

We always wanted to go back to europe so when we got the assignment to come here in Germany we were so happy. But then I was worried about if they have good fish because I love fish. So after a few days when we got here I found this fresh fish from the commissary and their delicious oyster mushrooms. I have no idea what kind of fish is this but the meat is white so I called it white fish :-)

Season the fish and fry it 3 minutes on each side. After frying the fish take it out from the pan and add he onion after the onion is brown a little bit add the garlic. Then sautee the mushrooms add some salt, pepper and the red pepper. when the mushrooms is cooked add the fish and the broccoli and add the soy sauce and then serve.

Avocado and Orange Salad

I love avocados I grew up eating it but not in a salad. In the Philippines we make it as a dessert like ice cream or add it in a fruit salad. Also we don't have the avocado hass we have the big ones I still have the picture in my mind of my Lolo and Lola's avocado tree :-)

INGREDIENTS

4 pieces avocado hass
3 oranges
lettuce or any greens you have enough to cover the platter for your salad
4 or 5 cherry tomatoes

dressing
1 tbsp yellow mustard
salt and pepper to taste
juice and zest of 1 big lemon
5 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey

Put the greens in a platter. Peel and cut oranges into segments then set aside. Make your dressing then slice the avocados and dip them individually into the dressing before arranging them into the platter. Add the oranges and tomatoes and drizzle the rest of the dressing on top of your salad.

Whole Wheat Spaghetti w/ Mussels

One of my faves love love seafood  and there is nothing better than a good Spaghetti w/ Mussels for dinner. Also if you want to add more seafood into this recipe you can :) especially shrimp !!!


INGREDIENTS

1 lb whole wheat spaghetti
1 lb fresh mussels
1 can baby oysters
5 cloves chopped garlic
1 diced fresh tomato
1 whole lemon
5 T olive oil
1 cup white wine
salt and pepper to taste

In a pan sautee the garlic then add the rest of the ingredients except for the spaghetti and mussels. Add the whole juice of the lemon as well as the rind. When it boils add the mussels cover it until it is done then add the cooked spaghetti... When it comes to whole wheat pasta you have to check the ingredients of the package that it says whole wheat, whole grain or whole durum. The reason i am telling you this because some will say whole wheat but actually they are just 51% whole wheat ...
