Faux Fish recipes - results!

July 7, 2009

Hi Everyone,

As promised (though later than I planned) a couple or so days ago I tried the

recipe in the link that John sent for faux fish.

>

I made half the recipe but otherwise tried to keep pretty well to what was asked

for.

Result? Delish. I think I need to work a bit on the shape of the fillets - yes,

I opted to make the fillets - and perhaps I should be more careful over timing

to be sure the texture is as intended. However, it was very very good. We had it

the first time lightly floured and then served with a little sliced chinese

mushrooms, a few strips of home-roasted hottish red peppers and a sort of

coconut-chili-peanut sauce lightly spooned over the top. Today we had the other

half of it with just a little chopped seaweed, ginger and mushrooms stirred into

the fish seitan that I had dipped lightly in panko crumbs and 'sauteed' in a pan

sprayed with that pan spray stuff. Worked just fine. Next time I wanna try the

scallops and shrimp versions of the seitan with maybe a tad more kombu in the

cooking liquid for a 'fishier' flavour. I'm also keen to try a smoked fish

version, perhaps smoked 'salmon' or one of the others - different colouring from

different seaweeds and spices, obviously, but much the same kind of idea.

So I recommend the recipe. Yup, I do. Thanks, Johm. Now onto all the other three

recommended recipes from members here answering my call!

Great group - it means so much to have people rally around with suggestions when

one is stuck for info and/or ideas. This 'fish' seitan could be served to

anyone!. Thanks, guys!

Best, Pat
