What's On The Menu?

This post is just a little something that I whipped up for dinner today, honey glazed tilapia, black beans and corn mix, and jasmine rice.

Ingredients:

• onion
• bell pepper
• garlic
• canned corn
• black beans
• tomatoes
• tilapia
• rice
• spices: cinnamon, salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder
• honey 

Rice: I love jasmine rice, possibly because it is such a fragrant rice, I don't necessarily think it has that different of a flavor than white rice, but I'm sure that others may disagree.

 Corn & Beans:  I'm not exactly sure what to call this side dish, other than corn and beans.  I used a bell pepper and onion to give a little more depth to the dish.  For seasoning I only used some salt, pepper, and Sazon Goya seasoning (to add even more flavor saute the veggies in bacon grease).  After the veggies have been sauteed and the corn, beans, and canned tomatoes (I drained and rinsed the canned corn and beans).   Allow the dish to simmer on medium heat for 10-15mins.

 Honey Glazed Tilapia: Season the fish with salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and cinnamon then coat with either olive or safflower oil.  This time I chose to saute the fish this time, but it is also amazing when grilled.  The key is to drizzle the honey over it before taking it off the heat.  This way the honey forms a nice crust over the fish.

Before serving drizzle a little extra honey over the fish.  Since tilapia is such a mild fish it can stand up to a lot of flavor so don't worry about over seasoning.
