Peppered Talapia over Brown Rice
This was a last minute dish that I threw together in
25 minutes!
25 minutes!
(including the cooking time)
There are many nights when I have no idea
what time my husband is getting home...
so I don't begin the dinner until I get the call that he is on his way
and will be here in 30 minutes!
This dish worked out perfectly for just one of those nights.
I found 2 packages of frozen tilapia filets (4 total) already seasoned in my fridge.
I added a package of frozen red and yellow pepper strips,
1 large can diced tomatoes,
1/2 can black pitted olives,
and
1 bag frozen spinach, rinsed off and squeezed out.
I topped it off with some sweet chili sauce and cayenne pepper!
While this finished cooking in a large frypan on medium heat...
I put a bag of Trader Joe's frozen brown rice in the microwave,
(it only takes 3 mins.)
(it only takes 3 mins.)
As my husband walked in... the rice was done
...the fish and veggies were cooked through
and... dinner was served!
(Only I knew how easy it was...and now you do too!)
Browse your freezer and see what dish you can cook up!
