Stir-fried Swordfish

Category: ,

Wow, has it really been that long since I've tried something new in the kitchen? Funny how there should, in theory, be more free time sans Todd in the house, and yet we've actually done LESS cooking than when he's here. Maybe having a kid around motivates us to try to eat more healthfully.

Tonight I cooked up a few items I picked up on sale at Ralph's earlier this week. Manager's specials, as always, rock! :-)

Swordfish, cut into cubes
Tomatoes, also cubed
Sliced mushrooms
Rice
Onions

Did the usual stir-fry with onions, then added the fish and mushrooms, and finally, the tomato. It took a little while to cook because the pre-sliced mushrooms were so large, and a lot of liquid ended up in the pot. So I liquefied a large tablespoonful of flour (no starch onhand!), added it to the mix to thicken, and voila! A tasty sauce!

The picture isn't the greatest, and the layout isn't very appealing, but there you go-- simple stir-fry served with rice:


Total cost?
Swordfish fillet = $1.64
Mushrooms = $1.49
Tomatoes (3) = ~$1.50
Rice = ~$0.25

Grand total = $4.88 for two meals... there's enough leftover for a full meal for tomorrow's dinner! :-9
