A flavorful italian recipe. Even my husband who doesn't usually like fish thought it was excellent. The fish is poached in crazy water with lemons, capers, fresh garlic and thyme.
Ingredients:
1 lemon, thinly sliced
4 teaspoons capers
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 cup water
1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 filets tilapia fillets or 2 other fish
Directions:
1. In a medium pot or pan, fry the lemon slices and capers in the olive oil for 5 minutes on medium heat.
2. Remove the lemons and capers and set aside.
3. Using the same pan, cook the garlic, chili powder and 1/4 cup of the water.
4. Let simmer until water is gone.
5. Add the remaining 1/2 cup water, tomatoes, wine, thyme, and salt and bring to boil.
6. Throw fish into crazy water , reduce heat and let simmer with lid on, about 8 minutes.
7. Remove fish to shallow serving bowls.
8. Boil crazy water on high for a few minutes to reduce.
9. Garnish the fish with lemon slices and capers.
10. Drizzle the crazy water over the fish and serve immediately.
