While reading frogma today, I came across her post about the waterbloggers’ food tour. Here, briefly, is the original challenge from Carol Anne of Five O’Clock Somewhere:
A horde of your fellow waterbloggers has come to your home waters to join you sailing, paddling, or doing whatever other sort of water recreation you do. It’s the end of the day, and they are now all tired and hungry. What do you serve for dinner?
Here’s my menu.
Monkfish ceviche (fish and head of lettuce for the garnish purchased at the Cortelyou Road Greenmarket):
Accompanied by a tomato and fresh basil salad (tomatoes and basil from the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket):
The ceviche recipe is here. It called for striped bass, which works nicely, but I substituted monkfish. I’ve also used hake and flounder.
The tomato salad recipe comes from the greenmarket. It’s very simple: 2 large, ripe tomatoes; 8 medium basil leaves, torn in half; some balsamic vinegar; some olive oil; salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Bon appetit!
Your menu looks delicious. I love the simplicity of your salad. It reeks of summer.
And tastes like it too!
Thanks.
Oh boy. When’s dinner?
p.s. give me until August & I might be able to bring the tomatoes.
and the basil. yup.
Sounds good to me!
And some day I hope to catch the fish, instead of buying it.
Oh, boy, so much really fresh food! I’m feeling healthier just by thinking about it all.
