Today I cooked a four course Mother’s Day meal. I found all recipes online. The meal consisted of the following:
Appetizers
Prosciutto, Pear, and Fig Tea Sandwiches
Smoked Salmon, Chive Cream Cheese, and Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
Salad
Arugula, Watermelon, and Peach Salad
Main Course
Tilapia with Mango Pico, Garlic Bacon Rice, and Black Beans
Dessert
Caramelized Bananas with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Recently, I tried some kiwi berries. These little fruits are amazing! They taste like a kiwi without all the work of peeling them. You can just pop them in your mouth and eat them. Here is a recipe that I borrowed from 52 Kitchen Adventures.
This dish will make your mouth water!
Tilapia with Kiwi Berry Sauce
Serves 4
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place fillets in a large baking dish and generously season with salt and pepper. Place a small pat of butter on each fillet and bake around 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
In the meantime, prepare the sauce. Combine kiwi berry puree, sour cream, honey and triple sec in a medium bowl. Pour over prepared fish, then grate a little orange zest on top (be careful not to put too much, as it overpowers the flavors of the sauce).
