I had a cucumber that would start rotting away if I didn't make something out of it (and we can't have that; wasting food is tantamount to a mortal sin around here), so I ended up making a cucumber shake. Peeled and cut up the cucumber. Tossed it in the blender which already had 1/4 C brown sugar and 1 C fresh milk. Added a tray and a half of ice cubes, covered the blender and pressed the button. LOL. No wonder I didn't get that gig writing recipes!
For dinner, thawed frozen tilapia and cooked it with mushrooms, tomato, and olives.
2 two teaspoons of olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can (about 200 g) mushrooms, drained
1/4 cup pitted green olives with juice, quartered
1 green tomato (other types would work, but this is what I had)
a sprinkling of dried Italian herbs
a sprinkling of dried basil
tilapia (it was probably 4 filets, but I ended up tearing the things up)
salt and black pepper
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms. Cook about 5 minutes. Add olives (plus juice), tomato and
herbs and cook until juice evaporates. Remove from heat.
In another pan, heat remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Rub the tilapia with the salt and pepper seasoning. Cook tilapia for about five minutes, turning halfway. Add fish to the vegetables and warm the entire thing before serving with rice.
