Enjoying Seafood Fridays
Writing for a web site is nowhere near as simple as I had originally hoped. I am now told that I am meant to create some extra content each week, and this job is more demanding than I was led to believe.
Nonetheless, I am going to give it my best attempt. The latest article is called "Enjoying Seafood Fridays ", if you have any questions on this page, please don't be afraid to ask me.
As we enter the Lenten season, millions of people will be looking for great seafood recipes as their alternative to meat. Not knowing where to look, many will opt for basic dishes that might not satisfy their craving for a bona fide good meal. With a little creativity and help from shelf-stable seafood, the Lenten season can be filled with a variety of palate-pleasing alternatives.
"People often do not know what to cook during Lent, so they turn to 'tried-and-true' favorites such as veggie sandwiches, pastas and salads," said Culinary Expert Lena Cutler.
"Shelf-stable seafood is very affordable and easy to substitute in your favorite meat-based dishes," said Cutler.
"Canned and pouched seafood are available in many varieties, including tuna, salmon, crab, shrimp, clams and oysters," said Cutler. "You can use tuna or salmon instead of beef for burgers, tacos, stir-fry and more."
Shelf-stable seafood also has many health benefits.
"In addition to being conve-nient, shelf-stable seafood is low in fat and calories," said Registered Dietician Sharon McNerney. "Albacore tuna and salmon are major sources of protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids."
The American Heart Association's dietary guidelines recommend eating at least two servings of fish per week, because omega-3 has been proven to help reduce the chance of getting heart disease.
If you are a novice cook, you will find it easier choosing recipes that are simple to prepare, e.g. one-pot recipes like curries and thick soups. It might also be advisable to select recipes using only ingredients that you know well. If you start simple you will enhance the likelihood of you being succesful and preparing a dish that your loved ones will insist you cook again.
Here's a delightful stir-fry to get your creative cooking juices flowing:
