Today’s Menu: Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Mushroom & Parmesan Risotto and Boiled Baby Carrots

 

 

 

Another humid day out with a whole lot of rain on and off all day. Then it was long night for myself again, Phantom Pains all night and most of today. It was the bad ones too, so I didn’t get much sleep. Finally took a nap around 1:00 this afternoon and felt somewhat better. I just wish there was a medication or something to fight Phantom Pains when they occur. I didn’t have a chance to go see my Dad but talked to him on the phone a couple of times. For dinner tonight I prepared a Fried Seasoned Haddock w/ Mushroom & Parmesan Risotto and Boiled Baby Carrots.

 

 

 

Haddock just frys up so good, a nice golden brown crust with a great fresh taste. To prepare it I had a big fillet that I rinsed in cold water and patted dry with a paper towel. I then cut the fillet into smaller pieces, seasoned it with just a bit of Sea Salt and put the pieces in a Hefty Zip Plastic Bag where I then added Zatarain’s Lemon Pepper Breading Mix. Shook until all the pieces were well coated. I pan fried them in Canola Oil, frying them about 3 minutes per side until golden brown. The Zatarain Mix gives it that golden brown crust I love along with a ton of flavor.

 

 

 
For one side dish I made some Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto. I used Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto. Quick, easy, and delicious Risotto dish. Ready in about 25 – 30 minutes. I added some fresh sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms to it as it was cooking. Then when it was ready I sprinkled some fresh grated Parmesan Cheese on it. Then I also boiled some Mini Carrots and had a slice of Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.

 

 

 

 

 

Lundberg Creamy Parmesan Risotto

Enjoy the delectable flavor of rich, aged Parmesan cheese in this elegant Italian-style risotto. We created this delicious gourmet side dish by blending quality ingredients like Parmesan cheese, onion, garlic, and spices with our creamy Arborio rice. You’ll love how the individual kernels plump, creating a rich, creamy sauce while the rice grains remain separate and al dente. Preparing this tasty risotto takes about 20 minutes and requires minimal stirring. It’s an easy, convenient way to add gourmet flair to any meal.
