Hudson’s Baked Tilapia


Hudson’s Baked Tilapia                                                                                                                                                                              Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) fillets tilapia

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste

1 lemon, thinly sliced

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup sour cream

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Season the tilapia fillets with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning on both sides. Arrange the seasoned fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Place a layer of lemon slices over the fish fillets. I usually use about 2 slices on each piece so that it covers most of the surface of the fish. Bake uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish flakes easily with a fork. While the fish is baking, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice and dill in a small bowl. Serve with tilapia

The Ultimate Vegan Burger


Reblog: from Outside

Ultramarathoner Scott Jurek says he grew up as a “meat-and-potatoes kid who didn’t like to run much.” As an adult, he has won seven Western States Endurance Runs and two Badwater Ultramarathons, and he set a new American record for the most miles run in 24 hours (165.7). And he’s done it all on a vegan diet. “Most people assume I grew up in a hippie household,” he says. “It wasn’t like that. I just found that I needed to watch what was going into my body as I became more serious about running.” During college he began experimenting with plant-based foods and developed his own recipes. In his new book Eat and Run (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $26), on shelves in June, Jurek credits his diet with helping speed his recovery times, boosting his energy, and improving his race performance. He also shares his favorite vegan recipes, like this lentil-mushroom burger. “It has a ton of protein,” says the 38-year-old Jurek. “But more important, it tastes great. Even people who love hamburgers will feel satisfied.”

Lentil-Mushroom Burgers                                                                                                                                                    1. In a medium-size pot, bring 2 1/4 cups of water to a boil, then add 1 cup dried green lentils, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/4 c up chopped onions. Simmer for 35 to 40 minutes.                                             2. Combine 3/4 cup chopped walnuts, 2 cups bread crumbs, and 1/2 cup ground flaxseeds in a small bowl and set aside.                                                                                                                                                                                                      3. In a separate pan greased with olive oil, sauté 1 cup chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 3 cups finely chopped mushrooms, and 1 1/2 cups finely chopped kale or other winter greens for 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. 4. Remove lentils from heat, add 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and mash ingredients together.                                                                                                                                                                               5. In a large bowl, combine lentils, sautéed vegetables, and bread-crumb mixture. Cool in a refrigerator.                 6. Using your hands, form patties and fry or grill until lightly browned and crispy on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes each side. Serve on a toasted bun or on their own. Makes 12 four-inch burgers.
