Hi there everyone!

Now before you gasp in horror, please understand that there are days when Wednesdays for one reason or another become so full of various chores (93 year old mother, medical appointments bla bla bla) and I have to take the easy way out – BUT don’t we all at one time or another so why not share the easy Wine Wednesday Nights as well.

So my yummy flathead fillets.  I have a fab fishmonger nearby and the fillets are always plump and gorgeous.  I soak the fillets in milk for about an hour – why?  I think it takes the stronger fishy taste out but to be honest I have been doing this since forever because someone once upon a time told me to and they are always so delicious that I am scared to try it without including this procedure.  I always have fresh breadcrumbs in the freezer so I mix these with coconut, parsley and some crushed nuts like macadamias or pecans (pretty much whatever you have) a little S & P.  After soaking in milk, dip in flour, then egg and then breadcrumb mixture and sit in the fridge to firm up the coating. Fry to your liking – mine is very well cooked.   I mix up ½ cup mayonnaise with a generous tablespoon of mango chutney for a sauce to go with the fish.  This is all served with probably the best pre-packaged salad I have ever had.  It’s from Woolworths and it is called “Thai Style Salad Kit”. I just add avo and cherry tomatoes.  The dressing is just so tasty and goes really well with the fish.

For dessert I served pre-packaged Crème Caramels from Woolies again.  I often use Wicked Sisters brand but today I used Divine Classic. They were on special at two for $2.50 how could I go wrong??

Believe it or not the family gave all of this an 8/10.  So, it is no crime to make life easier for ourselves from time to time and the meal was pretty healthy all in all.

Hope you try this one.  Enjoy!

From my table to yours with love.
