Tomorrow never comes and when it does it’s today! (Dreadzone)

Yay I had a lie in, 6am, now I’m refreshed and ready for my day, I’ve got lots of ‘me’ things I want to do, I’m planning a bit beef & ale stew, I may even attempt dumplings on the top too. I’m also going to cook Trout with Watercress Sauce it’s all done in the microwave in a few minutes – cool! Shall have it with some nice fresh veggies and maybe rice, here’s the recipe;

Serves 2, 9pp each

1 small bunch watercress, washed and trimmed
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 X 90 g (3 1/2 oz) fillets rainbow trout
50 ml (2 fl oz) dry white wine
1/2 teaspoon made mustard
150 ml (5 fl oz) soured cream

1. Reserve a few sprigs of watercress for decoration. Place remainder in a bowl with the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 1/2 minutes.

2. Place the fish in a dish in a single layer, pour over the wine. Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes. Leave to stand while making the sauce.

3. Puree the watercress together with the mustard and cream. Add the cooking liquid from the fish, pour into a jug and cook on HIGH for 1 minute. Serve with trout, new potatoes and broccoli. Garnish with reserved watercress.

Timings are for a 600 watt microwave oven.

Hope whatever you’ve got planned for today you enjoy it, I know I’m going to, after cooking I’m going to read my book and watch some tv, today is all about enjoying and relaxing no stressing or rushing.

Let it rain, I don’t mind I can enjoy today indoors.

Have a great day xx
