Tangy Tomato Tilapia

This could be used with any fish really.  It's tasty and fairly quick and easy.  Makes the fish super moist too.

Serves 2

Ingredients:
2 tilapia fillets
2 T olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon, haved
1/2 cup white wine (if using cooking wine make sure to adjust salt)
1 15 oz can of diced tomatoes (we have used tomatoes with chiles when that was all we had on hand and it was good too)
3 T capers
1 T butter

Directions:
1. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.  Drizzle fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Place fillets in skillet and sprinkle with the juice of half the lemon. Cook 3 mins per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.  Transfer fillets to a plate and keep warm.

2. Add wine, remaining lemon juice, tomatoes, capers and salt and pepper to the skillet.  Increase heat to medium high and boil for 2 mins to burn off alcohol.  Reduce heat to low and return fillet to the pan.  Cover and simmer 2 more mins then transfer fish to serving dish.

3. Again increase the heat to medium high and whisk in butter and boil to desired consistency.  Spoon sauce over fish and serve.

Chicken Simmered with Zucchini, Tomatoes and Mushrooms

Serves 4

Serve this summer dish over quinoa or brown rice and garnish it with grated Parmesan cheese or toasted breadcrumbs, if you like. Tried it plain and it was tasty. But I'm sure it would be good with pasta, rice, or another grain too.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
6 ounces portobello mushrooms, coarsely chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 cup gluten-free chicken broth
4 plum tomatoes, quartered
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound chicken tenders

Directions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, mushrooms, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, oregano and basil until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.

Stir in chicken broth, tomatoes and zucchini and bring to a simmer. Stir in chicken, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediatley.
