Tilapia

One of the fish listed under "Fish Counter Treats" on page 17 of our book is Tilapia.

I had never seen this until yesterday when I spotted it at the Waitrose fish counter.

I steamed it in the microwave with some cooked leeks and a squeeze of lime juice, and it was really delicious. It only took two minutes to cook.

I love tilapia! Great in a mediterranean tomato sauce, served over rice. Yum!

I am very pleased that I tried it. It is a superspeed food (as is most white fish) and also high in calcium.

I only bought a small piece just in case I didn't like it (although I usually like all white fish) but I will definitely be getting it again.

Even with the time taken slicing and cooking the leek, I had my dinner on my plate in six minutes - faster than a ready meal!
