Attempt #2

See post below for commentary.

Here's the thing.

Es que I don't make any food that isn't vegetarian. So every recipe I care about flaunts its meatlessness by substituting things like spinach and black beans and sweet potatoes. Hence, not fit for this blog. So instead of posting an actual recipe, I have decided to post pictures of scary children eating unappetizing things.





Enjoy!

Beer Battered Cod

I like this recipe because, other than the fish, normally all of the ingredients are in the house.

Ingredients:


1 egg
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cups beer
1 t garlic powder
1/2 t pepper
1/2 t salt
1 lb cod (or similar fish)
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1 t cajun seasoning
enough vegetable or canola oil to adequately fry

+ mix together in a medium bowl egg, flour, beer, garlic powder, salt and pepper
+ in a different bowl/plate mix the corn flakes and cajun seasoning
+ dip the cod in the wet ingredients, and then in the dry.
+ heat oil to 350F or until it seems hot enough - i don't have a thermometer
+ fry the cod until its golden brown and starts to get flaky.

i ate this in sandwich form. i made lemon-y garlic bread (mix together butter, garlic and a little lemon rind - spread on bread, wrap in tinfoil and bake for like 15 min) and then ate it with tartar sauce and it was delicious.
