Fish and Chips, a variation

By hefk -
3-4 tilapia fillets
1 avocado, scored in skin and scooped out (diced)
2 tomatoes, diced
1 lemon, quartered lengthwise
1 yellow onion, quartered lengthwise
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 medium potatoes
sea salt
freshly ground pepper
ground cumin
ground coriander
Tabasco (or preferred hot sauce)
olive oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine diced avocado with diced tomato and the juice of one lemon quarter. Finely mince one onion quarter and add it to the mix. Season with a splash of olive oil and cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and Tabasco to taste. Stir together to slightly mash avocado. Set aside in the fridge for flavors to meld.

Put potatoes in the microwave for 4 minutes. Cut potatoes in half and then the halves into 1/4" slices. Slice one onion quarter into 1/4" slices. Combine potato slices, onion slices, minced garlic, sea salt, pepper and olive oil to coat. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 35-45 minutes until potatoes are golden brown and crisp on outside.

Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish and arrange fish in one layer. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the remaining lemon and the remaining onion into very thin smiles and arrange them generously on each fillet. Bake fish until white and flaky, approx. 15 min. (Potatoes will be finishing)

Serve fish topped with your fresh salsa beside a mound of oven fried potatoes.
So yummy.

Dayton's Famous Pine Club Salad Dressing

By -
Well, close enough anyway. The Pine Club is probably Dayton's most famous restaraunt--not that Dayton is some culinary mecca or anything. This dressing is traditionally served on an iceberg lettuce salad with grated carrot (boring). It's a shame, really, since the dressing is so good but that's why it's better to eat it at home on the salad of your choice. I like it over a green salad with blue cheese, apples/pears and toasted walnuts/pecans, it's good with pasta salad and it's also good on Isaac's broccoli salad. Serves approximately 8. 1 C vegetable/canola oil 3/4 C cider vinegar 1/3 C white sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp garlic powder 1 scant tsp red pepper flakes You can mix this one of two ways: either pour it all into a mason jar, put on the lid and shake the heck out of it or do it up with your stick blender. I recommend using the stick blender. Either way it's delicious. Refrigerate leftovers and note that it keeps pretty well. I think I had my...

Pesto Tortellini Salad

By -
Why don't we just re-name the blog "Recipes Kelly Stole from Isaac's" because I seem to have no other recipes amongst my repertoire. Sheesh. Again, this is not really a recipe, but this salad was, and still is, one of the biggest sellers at the restaurant. As with all of Isaac's recipes, I've drastically reduced the quantity from the original (5 lbs. of tortellini, anyone?) 1.5 lbs tri-colored cheese-filled tortellini (or regular white ones, whatever), cooked according to pkg directions and gently rinsed with cold water 1.5 medium-ish tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium-size red onion, diced 1/3 C black olives (do yourself a favor and get some decent olives) 2/3 C or so pesto (I did a mix of basil pesto and arugula pesto) Dump all ingredients into a bowl and stir until everything is well-coated by the pesto. This is tasty when served immediately but the flavor will continue to develop the longer it sits. As usual, I added 2 handfuls of chopped asparagus but wi...

mango soba update

By gwen -
A small note to those of us trying to eat more veg, as Kelly would say... this soba noodle salad is delicious with slaw replacing some or all of the noodles. I made it with just one little bundle of noodles, a whole bag of broccoli slaw, and half a bag of cabbage/carrot mixture, and it's great -- actually provides a delicious crunch and you don't miss the rest of the noodles. I cooked the chicken in a bit of the marinade, too, and diced it into the salad/noodle/mango mixture for some protein. Yum.
