A few years ago, I was making up a new way to cook fish to get out of the lemon pepper parade. After making a delicious, rich meal, my husband requested that I remember the recipe so that I could make it again. I did, and it stayed on the dinner ideas rotation. I admit, I am not much of a fish eater, but this recipe tends to take away the “fishy”, and add “rich and yummy” instead.
I didn’t know that what I was doing was “poaching” the fish until I was telling my mom about my inventive recipe. She says, “That is called poaching.”. When I googled, “poached fish in tomatoes”, tons of recipes came up. Turns out I am not so inventive. I just don’t know a whole lot about cooking.
Recently, I tried the new Taste #5 Tomato Bomb BOMBA. It reminded me of the poached dish that I made up years ago.
Taste #5 Tomato Bomb BOMBA is reduced tomato, onion, carrot, celery, wine and other goodness. Now when I want this dish, it makes my job easy. All I have to do is add some BOMBA to a can of diced tomatoes, sprinkle in some raisins for a subtle sweetness and poach. Boom! Dinner is delicious and tastes like I made the sauce from scratch.
Here is the quick version for my poached tilapia recipe:
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked Rice
- 1/4 cup Umami Bomba
- 1 large can Diced Tomatoes
- 1/4 cup Umami Bomba
- 1/4 cup Raisins
- 3-4 Tilapia Filet depending on size
- Pinenuts Optional
- Cilantro Optional
Instructions
- Empty the contents of a can of diced tomatoes into a cool pan.
- Stir in the remaining Umami Tomato Bomba
- Add the raisins and stir.
- Place thawed Tilapia Filets into the mixture.
- Cook through 6-10 minutes.
- The raisins should swell and the tomatoes should render in that time.
- Add in 1/4 cup of Umami Tomato Bomba to 2 cups of cooked rice.
- Place a scoop of Bomba Rice onto a plate, layer the fish and top with the rendered Umami tomato and raisin sauce.
- Add pinenuts and Cilantro to garnish.
