Netflix suggested that a "Movie I'd Love" was Food, Inc.. About a half an hour into the movie, we needed to pause it, and did not return to it for about two days. This is not to say that the movie was boring, or anything similar to boring. It was extremely enlightening even in the first few minutes. It just became a straight up smack you in the face with the reality of where food comes from. Which at the time... was a little hard to handle. Well, it's actually still hard to handle. It reminds me of the kind of things PETA show, and everyone's too horrified to believe it or want to admit to it.
The film focuses on cattle, chickens, and pigs when it comes to protein. They also checked out soybeans and corn. My lesson learned?
I'm reading labels.
I'm attempting to purchase more organic foods.
I'm buying all my produce from a farmer's market. Something local.
I'm getting my meat from a meat market.
And by the time I realized these things, I decided on fish for dinner. I received this recipe from my boyfriend's mother, who got it somewhere online. I did not come up with this recipe, it's just delicious, and I feel the need to share.
Pecan Crusted Tilapia
Food & Pantry
1/2 lb. Tilapia (deboned, deskinned, just straight up fishy meat)
2 parts mayonnaise*
1 part Dijon mustard*
a handful of pecans
*Depends on exactly how much sauce you want on the fish. If you'd prefer more spread, do 4 tablespoons mayo, 2 mustard. If you'd prefer less spread, use 2 tablespoons mayo, 1 spread.
Prep
1. Chop the pecans.
2. Mix the mayo and mustard.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook
1. Place aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Place Tilapia on aluminum foil.
Spread mayo/mustard mixture across the fish. Crumble pecans over mustard. Place in oven.
2. Allow the fish to cook for 20 minutes. For those who prefer drier fish, allow to cook another 5-10 minutes. Enjoy.
