New Year, new start...dinner number 5

Notes


With three weddings to attend this year and after a rather indulgent end to 2011, we're starting to take a different approach to food. We're not eating carbs after 6pm and cut out the typical baddies, increased exercise and started to feel better. No carbs after 6pm (small wimper) means evening meals have had to become quite inventive. This recipe is probably our favourite so far, it's so filling that we didn't even miss those potatoes (much).

Wildebeest's Comments
Quite an expensive dish  but really easy to make. Fresh fish is expensive in Germany. Lots of flavour, no carbs but I still felt full afterwards.


Penguin's Comments
I'm not a huge fan of fish, so I had the tuna and just tried a little bit of the salmon. I really enjoyed it, I thought Stephen did a good job of choosing things that went well with the fish. We'd better find a cheaper alternative to fresh fish if we want to eat it every week though.
