Beer Battered Tilapia with Red Chile Mandarin Orange Sauce


This recipe is Robin Miller
also very tasty.

You don't have to fry it, you can dip in the beer batter the place in the oven, it is still very tasty and a bit less fattening.

Ingredients
Olive oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
2/3 cup beer
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
4 tilapia or flounder fillets, about 5 ounces each
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons red chili paste
1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Heat enough olive oil, to shallow fry the fish, in a large skillet over medium-high heat

In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup of the flour, beer, egg, and baking powder. Place remaining 1/4 cup flour in a separate shallow dish.

Season both sides of fish fillets with salt and black pepper. Dredge fish in flour, turn to coat both sides and then shake off excess flour. Dunk fish in beer mixture and turn to coat both sides.

Add fish to hot oil and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, until cooked through and opaque. Remove fish from oil. Place on a paper towel lined plate.

While the fish is frying, in a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice and chili paste. Add mandarin oranges and cilantro and toss to combine. Serve sauce over fish.

Enjoy

Trying new things.

I have been cooking but not so healthy these days, need to get back on my Healthy living and accomplish it, my DH says it takes 21 days to make or brake a habbit, howcome I can't break the habit of over eating.

Yesterday I tried an Indian Curry recipes with eggs and potatos it was delicious. I loved it and so did the kids including Monica. It was not so so spicy but full of flavor. Will post the recipe later.
