it’s a 5-minute recipe — i will write it in 5 mins — in short-hand, too.
Fish fillet with shallots, tomatoes, and spring onions
Ingredients: Lapulapu fish fillet, salt and pepper, corn starch, butter, shallots, tomatoes, spring onions
Procedure: Pat fish fillet dry (with a paper towel of course)
Roll in corn starch.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat butter in frying pan. Fry fish fillet. Time check: 1.5 mins elapsed
In another frying pan, heat butter, toss spring onions and saute until transluscent. Then toss in shallots, then tomatoes (seeds removed). Time check: Running: about two minutes. sprinkle salt and pepper Add chilli flakes if you like it spicy.
Plate the mixture.
Plate the fish on the tomato mixture, garnish with spring onions, pepper. Total cooking and plating time: 4 minutes 55 seconds.
[blog admin’s note: This is a bit too buttery for me, i’d use extra virgin olive oil for this , of course it would have less flavor (not buttery) but the fish flavor and shallots and tomatoes combined would be tasty enough. butter and oils make my pimples come out at certain times of the month, like this one today: (shot yesterday) came out a week after Christmas, up to today, don’t ask why; ask my health consultant! ]
…you can’t miss it — see the three-storey-high flying-saucer-like or mushroom-like structures that provide shade, and the red two-storey-high rectangular pillars for … wind-direction…? or to catch the light
EDSA corner Quezon Avenue. Or, on Q Av from the east side of EDSA, it’s to your left… or, it’s your left-east corner of EDSA-Q Av, or the south-east corner of EDSA-Q Av. Market hours Sundays only 5:30 am to 2pm; if you’re walking, you can get in anytime, no problem; if in a vehicle, you have to get in at 6am (very early) or 12 noon (very late) or past 12 when most shoppers have left. Otherwise: if you’re getting in between 8am and 12 noon, it’s bedlam, unless you have a driver “idling” for you double-parked/ obstructing/ in the middle of the entrance – exit, walkway/ easement/ road — nakahambalang (blocking everyone and everything who has a right of way because they’re stalking anyone and anything who might leave a slot to give them space)
you have to choose your stalls by referral, not all are truly organic, even if labelled so — Eli Organics and The Organic Cooperative by OPTA come highly recommended; those who eat raw leaves — choose the “certifiedly” organic
Sunday organic market in the new Centris Walk on a cool, breezy, easy morning, the culinary feast had just opened, the food, hot and steamy — the aroma of béchamel sauce with mushrooms and butter, of sea bass fish cooked/ marinated in vinegar (kilawin), ginger, raw onions, chilli; strong, brewed coffee from newly ground Batangas coffee beans; stuffed tomatoes, fresh, grilled tuna; coconut milk on a vegetable dish; wafts the air, you could walk through with your eyes closed and know all the ingredients carefully blended in the pots, pans, and trays, and for two minutes you could picture this must be what heaven smells like—until the crowd of shoppers start rushing in. The land of plenty — being in a market like this makes you feel there’ll never be a food shortage in the country; of course, many more live in abject poverty and you wish everybody could have a taste of this. But right now, there’s a whiff of oysters being cooked in butter and lots of finely ground garlic….. (oh, with apologies to the purely vegetarian, as you know, i’m not fully vegan, i still eat seafood, no squirming, just sweet savoring, the fragrance of food can make one feel alive. Centris Walk is located on Quezon Avenue corner EDSA, the organic market opens Sundays 5:30 am to 2pm)
(shot yesterday) came out a week after Christmas, up to today, don’t ask why; ask my health consultant! ]
