Light and healthy tilapia

Posted on October 6, 2006

I had two objectives tonight: healthy and light. I had taken out some tilapia this morning to have for dinner and had a red onion earmarked for the meal. I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it all though.
Hunting through my kitchen and fridge, I located some organic carrots, a home grown tomato, some white zinfindel and viola! I had a meal. Toss in some rosemary, fresh pepper and salt and it’s golden.
This is very light and the vegetables are still pretty crisp - something I like. If you prefer your veggies softer, blanch them before putting them in the casserole. Also, you may want to salt and pepper the veggies before topping them with fish. But that is completely up to you.
Without further adieu….

In a large casserole dish, layer carrots, onion, tomato and tilapia. Pour wine over and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.
