skreef Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I chose Italy for my Fed in the Med Cook . I decided I wanted to cook Fish for my Challenge. So our Kroger had Mahi at a decent Price. Didn't really know Excactly what I wanted to do with it ... But I'm one of them that will figure it out later. Lol... . . First off I got busy to find out what kind of drizzle sauce that would be great on fish.. Naturally for me its lemon. Got on web to find a great sauce that I thought we would like. So I pick Citrus Gremolata, (which originated in Italy.. Thats how I decided which Country). . Ingredients for Gremolata (as you can tell, very minimal ingredients) which I Love. I mixed all ingredients together so all flavors come together. Lemon was for zest only. Along with Orange zest. Recipe calls for a lime zest too.. But didn't have it. So I use lime juice instead. . . I chose a Akorn squash for my side. Akorn squash really originated in Mexico and central America.. But in this day and time Akorn squash's are commercially grown in Italy as well as a few more country's. . I cut them in half and scoop all the seeds out. I kept some of the Akorn squash seeds. Hoping to dry them out for later use. . . Akorn squash on Grill @400 indirect for bout 45 minutes . . Ckreef had our starch covered(Rice) which was my first choice, but since we decided to eat our Challenge cooks on the same night, I opt to just make my Akorn squash a simple side which they might actually like. So I needed to find the right something and that something was a brown sugar glaze. . Brown Sugar Glaze Ingredients . I melted down all the ingredients along with butter (which I forgot to add to pic, 1/4 cup. . . Brush the Akorn squash with Glaze and grill them another 15 mins . . Next it was time to put my fish on . I just added seasalt.. Didn't want to add other seasoning to get in the way of my Citrus Gremolata flavors. I put them on Grill Grates @ 500 for about 8 minutes total time. . . So I have all my components ready Fish-check Gremolata-check Akorn squash done and glazed - check . My Money (cheap) shot Cheap cause it was bout $6 a plate. Loving it. And O So good... . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
