Sustainable Organic Local and Ethical - Suite101 writers show you how to shop, cook and eat in ways that are good for the planet, good for you, and good for your soul.
Tainted lettuce, overfished species, what's a person to do? Remember to shop where you know your sources. If your farmer doesn't have a face, you should be frightened. This week, Mary Luz Mejia will help us make wiser fish choices.
Tilapia, one of the safely farmed fishes that she mentions, works perfectly in the Ginger Scented fish recipe that was the focus of my inaugural "What's for Dinner Tonight?" feature.
My cousin asked about the cedar papers I'd written of in a prior blog post. The technique of planking fish on cedar is common in the Pacific Northwest. These delicate cedar papers work well on an indoor grill or in the oven. Fish such as salmon or tilapia, and even a lovely veggie mix would work very well. Heck you could even throw in some seitan! Julie at Great Lakes Grilling Company assures me that the sheets are available and will soon be featured on their website. In the meantime, give Julie a call and tell her I sent you!
