Mad Hungry

Last month at my mom's Passover Sedar, Lital brought this wonderful Cauliflower dish that was really interesting. I like cauliflower, but there really isn't too much that is naturally appealing to this vegetable. It is kind of one dimensional on its own and I would never put cheese sauce or something like that over it. This dish for Fancy Cauliflower is the opposite of one dimensional. It is spicy, savory and sweet balanced with the mellow cauliflower taste. Even if you do not care for cauliflower you will like this one! So different!

I served it with some pan roasted halibut with olives and rosemary which recipe I also found on this "Mad Hungry" list. It was not my favorite so I am not recommending it,

but try the other one! Happy Monday!

On the Search

I had fully planned on making these Pesto Halibut Kebabs, but of course when I got home the only necessary item I needed was something to skewer the fish on and I had zero. I don't know where my brain was at when I was getting all the ingredients for this dish, but I found myself searching high and low for something to make this happen. Believe me...I considered all the options and tried to use all my skills I learned from Macgyver, but alas I found nothing.

What is a girl to do? Rethink the whole thing. I opted for simple and effective because at this point I was more exhausted and hungry. I decided to slice up some vegetables I had on hand including the peppers I was going to use for the kebabs and just pan saute the whole thing. I just brushed some of the pesto on the fish front and back and threw it in the pan with the rest. A couple minutes on each side later it was finished and delicious!

So easy, regardless of the skewer conquest.

Everything in the pan sauteing

I also boiled some garlic pasta I found while searching for the kebab materials and tossed it with a tablespoon of the pesto and some Parmesan. It was very tasty and went along with my on-the-fly meal preparation theme that seemed to be taking place!

Sometimes no matter how hard I try to have all the right ingredients, make perfect dinners and relax after a long day it usually doesn't happen the way I want it to! I will keep trying though!
