Sauteed Tilapia With String Beans Recipe

Sauteed Tilapia With String Beans

From chefmal 15 years ago

I'm trying to eat healthier now so I've been searching for dishes that won't make my diet suck so much. This...definitely doesn't suck.

In a medium Saute' pan, heat the oil over high flame. When a drop of water sizzles on contact, add the onions (or shallots) and string beans. Stirring often, cook until edges begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
Turn heat down a bit. then add garlic and fish, and then the wine over it. Make sure you keep mixing the beans and onions to keep it from burning too much.
Add the lemon juice and spices to the fish. You can add more to the beans if you'd like.
Fish becomes rubbery and gross if cooked too long, so for thin filets like Tilapia, 5 minutes on either side should be good.
Once done, remove from heat and serve immediately over rice or mashed potatoes. Or, have it without starch like I did. Don't worry if the fillet falls apart, it tastes great so who cares what it looks like?
Unless you're making this for a dinner party... then well, shame on you! lol

Sounds good, but I tend to use recipes with fewer ingredients.

"So who cares what it looks like"

I agree!

We're going to eat healthier! We did not even discuss this.

I looked up tilapia and it also has low levels of mercury, so I'm guessing this is part of this choice of fish for you since you gave me a lecture on this. Sounds good.

I just can't imagine for the life of me ever, ever... cooking with wine. I know many do and you are zee chef, but surely there's some alternative? lol
