This was tonight's dinner - Tomato & Garlic Stew with
Prawns. I adapted it from Off the Shelf - Cooking from
the Pantry by Donna Hay.
This came out delicious. The broth was so good. I felt
that she didn't season the recipe enough so I added a
green serrano chile to the seasoning. It really
helped. Otherwise it was kind of plain - salt, pepper
and parsley.
I served it with my family's favorite Uncle Ben's
Garlic & Butter Rice. I had very little (can't resist)
and they had most of it. I was not in the mood to make
a low carb alternative tonight. Sometimes I'm not. I
figure I'm at goal anyway, I can play around a bit and
enjoy some things I don't normally eat. Hey, I didn't
suffer for months for nothing!
I'm thankful that I am on Level 2 of Somersizing so I
can play around here-and-there and not feel guilty.
Anyway, here is the recipe:

Serving Ideas : Uncle Ben's Garlic & Butter Rice
NOTES : Risa's notes:
* I used Knorr Fish Bouillon Cubes in a cup of hot
water.
** If on a low carb plan, use cauliflower "rice" or a
green veggie with this. You need something to sop up
the juices, as there are a lot of them. Maybe some low
carb bread?
Donna Hay used whole peeled tomatoes (2-14 oz cans)
and I used a fresh tomato, peeled & chopped up and
olive oil. Her recipe served 4. I just needed to feed
2. So double up on everything if you wish to serve 4.
