Food of the Gods

I couldn't fall asleep last night thinking about the two bags of fresh citrus in the kitchen. A large bag of pink grapefruit and a smaller bag of Honeybell tangerines were calling my name.

When I finally freed up today, I made a simple ambrosia with the citrus but dolled it up with a few marachino cherries and brightened the juice with some Thai coconut cream powder!

Yummy, sweet and fresh!

We really enjoyed the addition of the coconut cream powder to the juice of the fruit, plus I added one tablespoon of the juice of the cherries.

Parrot Fish

Asian-style Parrot Fish Dark soy, sesame oil mixed with a little olive oil, freshly-grated ginger and garlic! Yum. A little chopped green onion and blood orange. Yes! One of my last blood oranges was squeezed for a citrus marinade that made for a nicely-flavored and springlike taste! I might be rushing the seasons a little but this easy recipe would certainly be good anytime of the year! The Parrot Fish has a nice firm texture with lots of flavor. The bones were easily removed from the meat and so the yield is very good. I grilled the fish on the infrared for about eight minutes and finished it off in a very hot oven! Definitely worth a try!
