Food for thoughts

I am constantly bombarded by people I know in the Seychelles that kept repeating that there is nothing to eat here and we can't make our diet healthy. First and foremost, we have a huge chronic diseases bundle here as many here are obese, hypertensive and diabetic. These are the killers of our generation.


Eventhough I was not a very good cook or even the everyday cook but since coming here I have learned the benefit of a good home cooked meal and the important of eating fresh local produces that are reasonably price. Initially I have hard time coping with cooking and mothering and house work and being myself but I have since love cooking. I even started browsing recipes online and try to modify them to what are available in the Seychelles. Hahaha... you have no complaints from my family we are enjoying the fresh herbs and other local produces.


One of the fabulous food is the fish here, they are freshly caught and you can cook them simply to enjoy the full favour and texture of good fish. Besides, it is also very healthy dish. They are like my baby always said, "Yummiiiii...."


This dish that I am going to share is simple yet keeping it healthy.

Ingredients:

• A medium size fish such as grouper or shoe maker fish
• 2 small tomatoes cubes them in bite size pieces
• 1 small apples cubes them in bite size pieces
• 3 teaspoon of oil
• 3 teaspoon of tomato ketchup
• 2 teaspoon of chilli sauce

Method:

• Heat up the pan add the oil and gently pan fried the fish about 8 minutes on each side or till the skin is brown and cooked
• Removed the fish and put it in a serving dish
• Add the tomatoes and apple into the pan stir fry for a minute
• Add the tomato ketchup and chilli sauce to the tomotoes and apple leave it for 5 minutes
• Pour over the tomotoes and apple in spicy sauce over the fish when serving

This fish dish is good to go with rice as it is not too heavy and there is already nice fruit and vegetable in it.
