I am always looking for a
new recipe for fish. I admit we don’t eat as much as we should. My Dad a few
months ago sent me a news article with several soup recipes and clicking on a
Leek Soup recipe led me to find these two recipes from a website called “French women don't get fat.”
Snapper with Almonds
Ingredients:
4
snapper fillets (monkfish, halibut or cod works too), 4 ounces each, with skin1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of a lemon
1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped
½ cup parsley, chopped
Dash salt
Dash pepper
Use a nonstick frying pan to toast the almonds
under medium heat. Reserve.
Warm oil and butter in the frying pan. Add snapper skin side up. Season to taste... Cook 4 minutes on each side. Reserve the fish on a warm serving plate and cover loosely with foil.
Add lemon juice to the pan and whisk to blend with oil and butter. Pour over fillets, add parsley and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Serve immediately.

This has to be one of the strangest, yet delicious
recipes I have come across in awhile. The tart is cooked in cabbage leaves, but
you do not eat the cabbage! I used a tart apple, since I personally do not like
Golden Delicious, if you need want to use a sweet apple try the Pink Lady
variety.
Apple Tart Without Dough
Ingredients:
4
medium-size Golden Delicious apples2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cabbage leaves
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Dots of butter (1/8th teaspoon)
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Mix the sugar with the
cinnamon and sprinkle almost all of it on the apple slices (leaving enough to
cover the dots of butter). Add small dots of butter and cover with the
remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 15
minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
