Rice                                    =   2.50 Mop

                  
Other ingredients:

Chopped tomatoes        
1 knob of butter (optional)
Olive oil

What I did

1. Cook the rice like Filipinos normally do and just leave it for 15-20 mins until cooked.
2. Cook the potato for about 8 mins in a pan with water.

3. Use a fork to poke the potato, if it gets through smoothly, then it is cooked.
4. Remove from the pot and let it cool.
5. Heat the grilling pan
6. Add a bit of olive oil if you like but this is optional, just make sure that the fish fillet is moist, adding olive oil on the fish can do the trick.
7. Make sure the fillet is seasoned according to your taste. My hubby does not like too seasoned fish fillet since he likes dipping it in his special sauce. So I just seasoned our fish fillet with a bit of salt, pepper, a dash of paprika and rosemary.
8. Put the fish in the pan on its seasoned side.
9. Season the other side if you prefer.
10. Wait for it to cook and don't touch the fish or it'll start breaking apart.
11. Once halfway cooked, turn it to the other side.
12. By this time, you can add the chopped tomatoes on the side so they can be cooked with the fish. But I cooked mine with the sweet potatoes because I want butter on them. :)

13. While waiting for the fish to cook, do whatever you want with the potatoes, they can be peeled, sliced lengthwise or whichever or just eaten as it is..
14. Remove fish from the pan and the tomatoes and set aside, it will continue to cook even if it is removed from the pan though..
15. Add a knob of butter into the grill pan (optional).
16. Add in the sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes are already cooked and we are just doing this to give it more personality. Besides, I like those lines on them.. And I am craving for butter. Pregnancy stuff... but there is no need to do this really.. :)


Done!

The rice is just an option really, this can be served without rice because we already have potatoes but since we are Filipinos and our meal is incomplete without the rice.. well.. yeah... carbs on top of carbs it is! :)

No leftovers tonight! Yehey!

Thank you! :)

ENJOY EATING AND SAVING!!!!!
