WoodenSpoons Saturday

A great way to spend a weekend is spending it at the kitchen cooking up a feast for your family.


Amy and I started off with plate full of Dynamite! Yup, you read that right - Dynamite! Imagine around a dozen pieces of long chilli peppers stuffed with tuna, cheese and properly seasoned to a savory perfection. Drop those stuffed chilli peppers in our special batter, deep fry 'em and voila! For the figure-conscious foodies, we have the savory and spicy Dynamite served with a special dipping sauce on the side.

 

Next up, we have our barbecued Salmon heads with buttered vegetables and cheesy potato croquettes. The Salmon was prepared in advance by a soy sauce based marinade, allowing at least 4 hours to chill in the fridge to allow the fish to absorb the salty-sour marinade. While waiting, peel and boil a few pieces of potatoes, mash and season them and set aside in the fridge to set properly. And finally, to make the most of the time we had, we chopped up a few vegetables - carrots, sayote, potatoes and corn - to complement the overall dish.

After four hours, grill the fish over char coal - this works best with actual char coal rather than an electric grill (more flavor this way). While Amy grills the fish, I take out my mashed potatoes and roll them into balls. I dip them in beaten eggs and roll them around bread crumbs and deep fry them until they're golden brown. And last but not the least, the mixed vegetables are tossed onto a pan with butter and seasoned.

Plate up the fish with a few pieces of croquettes and a hefty serving of the buttered vegetables, and voila! A meal fit for a king and queen.

This is perhaps one of the best ways to spend a rainy day weekend with your hubby/wifey. We had fun and we hope you will, too!
