Dinner - 11/04/09
The kids GOBBLED down this fish!
5 pieces of frozen tilapia
A couple tablespoons of EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL (I agree with you, cici!! But I still can’t get EVOO out of my head! ![]()
2 cans of diced, Italian-style tomatoes (with juice)
splash of balsamic vinegar
Many enthusiastic twists of an Italian Seasoning grinder
Threw everything in a skillet and cooked on medium until the fish were done. Took the fish out and put them on a plate. Reduced the tomatoes until they made a thick-ish sauce.
I ate two pieces of fish. Everyone else had a piece of fish and the sauce served over whole-wheat pasta. The sauce reminded me of my favorite Olive Garden dish: Capellini Pomodoro. Although, with the fish, it would have been nice served over rice.
For the carb count:
Fish - 0 carbs
Olive oil - 0 carbs
Seasonings - 0 carbs
Balsamic vinegar - 1 net carb (guessing based on using 2 Tbl of it in the recipe at 3 net carbs each.)
Tomatoes - 3 net carbs (Another guess. I used 2 cans at 4 net carbs each. My portion wasn’t big, but I’d rather round up)
TOTAL - 4 net carbs!!!
Everybody ate it all up and asked for more! I call that a success.
