I really need to get back in the kitchen a little more often.
I am in the mood for something like… crispy bacon wrapped tilapia, served with garlic butter broccoli and carrots, or maybe a big burger, stuffed with grilled mushrooms and onions served on a toasted bun, or a cracked black pepper turkey sandwich with blue cheese, tomatoes, and cucumbers sandwiched ‘twixt two hearty slices of toasted whole wheat bread.
I just need to have the drive to get in the kitchen and make these things that I want.
I’m thinking that for the tilapia, I’d like to bread it before bacon-wrapping it, so I guess I’d need some egg whites and potato flakes (why yes, ‘breading’ with potato flakes is good and adds texture). While breading it, I might need to start the bacon in the oven, to give it a few minutes’ head start — I found out through experimenting that wrapping the bacon around the tilapia and baking them at the same time will result in overcooking the fish if I am not careful, while trying to get the bacon crispy.
Once breaded and the bacon’s had a few minutes to start, I’d want to (quickly, because it’s f’n hot!) wrap the tilapia with the bacon, and return them to the oven for baking.
This might turn out quite delicious.
