WHITE RICE AND SEASONED FISH FILLETS WITH MUSHROOMS

This is what happens after my kg goes from 68 to 77kg in just a few months *face palm*...lol! Then I start mixing orisirisi called "healthy foods" to help me manage and balance my weight (I'm really never after weight loss). I've lost 5kgs now, so I feel much better.

Ingredients

150g Mushrooms

300g White Fish fillets

1 green bell pepper; finely chopped

1 yellow bell pepper; finely chopped

1 red bell pepper; finely chopped

1 tomato; finely chopped

1 scotch bonnet pepper; finely chopped

1 medium sized onion; finely chopped

1 cooking Olive oil

1/2 tsp curry, garlic, paprika, thyme

1 Knorr cube

Salt to taste

Preparing the Mushroom and the Sauce

- It is easier to chop the fish fillets when they are frozen than when fresh as it might easily scatter so when you buy it, it's best to rinse them and put into the freezer. Then, you can later chop them into small slices and place in a sieve so that all water drains out while the fish is defrosting.

- Combine the curry, garlic, paprika, thyme and one knorr cube together, then sprinkle all over the fish. Set aside

- Heat oil in a deep pan on medium heat. When the oil is slightly hot, add the bell peppers, onions, scotch bonnet pepper and tomato then fry for about 5 minutes. Add the fish fillets, add salt to taste and stir. Leave to cook for about 6 minutes (Do not leave for too long as it takes just a little time for fish to get cooked). Let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Then your sauce will be ready to be served.

- For the mushrooms, clean the mushrooms by removing the gills on the under side, rinse them and then slice them into halves. To cook the mushrooms, place them into a pot of boiling water, add a little salt to taste. Cover the lid and let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes. After it has been well cooked, drain the water off the pot.

- And your food is ready to be served :)
