A Couple of Meatless Meals: Menu Monday 2/15/2010

Heather says:

It feels far too early in the year, but Mardi Gras is in full swing and Lent begins Wednesday. Tell me, what’s on your menu this week?

• Monday – Chicken, peppers, and mushrooms; Brussels sprouts, roast potatoes
• Tuesday – Oatmeal and banana pancakes, scrambled eggs, fruit
• Wednesday – Simple fish stew*; homemade, crusty bread for the broth
• Thursday – Pasties, green beans, winter spinach salad
• Friday –  Lentil casserole, roasted broccoli
• Saturday –  Pizza Night – we’ve been off kilter, it’s time to relaunch this tradition
• Sunday  - Buttermilk fried chicken, braised greens, rice

*The fish stew is one I’ve been playing with for years, it’s close to what I want, but never quite there. I’ve also seen it under the name Bourtheto. I think this time I’ll use stock instead of water, but it’s still not ready for a post of its own.

• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, grated
• 1 pound tomatoes, grated
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 8 potatoes peeled
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 (6 ounce) fillets firm white fish
• 1 pint water
