Behind the scenes: Thursday night dinner with the family.

Hi,
Today i'm giving you a sneak peep into my kitchen again, lol. Yesterday night i made a healthy nigerian dinner: oven grilled fish, baked plantain and coleslaw for dinner.
You can try this yourself, its a rather fast meal if you prepare your fish ahead of time by marinading it and putting it in the freezer till it's ready for use.
I used quite a number of spices on this one, and stuffed the fish with both the marinade and onions.

here's how i  prepared the fish:

I cut three marks on both sides of the fish for fast cooking.

Using half to one teaspoon of each spice, except the paprika; 3 heaped teaspoons and the sweet chili sauce; 2 table spoons, i mixed all the spices with a teaspoon of vegetable oil.

I rubbed both the outside and inside of the fish with half of one stock cube and a pinch of salt.
then added the marinade and left it in the fridge for about an hour.

after this i baked on a grilling rack at 220 degrees for about 40 mins.
I baked my plantain simultaneously. i cut each on in half and laid them flat in foil, then baked for about 25 minutes because i used the lower tray.
lastly i sprinkled on some suya sauce on the fish, served it in a large plate with some sauce for the plantain and garnished it with onion and tomato rings.

Pretty innit?
Don't forget to follow my blog here  or via email on the left side bar. You can also drop a comment below so i know you peeped and i'll definitely return the hello.

Till next time,
