Bless you Granma 2. I would appreciate any ideas / recipes for healthy cooking. I need to lose a few, but get bored with the same old (bland) fare. I love Jamaican food. Thanks for your help.Comment

Re: steamed fish
STEAM FISH MISS PEACHES
1 ½ lbs. firm fish fillets or steaks
l lime cut in two
½ green pepper, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2-3 celery leaves, finely chopped
½ small tomato, chopped
1 stem escallion, chopped (optional)
1 sprig fresh thyme
½ tsp salt
½ tsp fresh ginger, grated
Rinse fish under running water, rub well with one half of the lime and rinse again.
Place fish in bowl, squeeze juice from the other lime half on top, add other ingredients,
and mix well. Put aside on counter to season for at least 1 hour; if over 1½ hours refrigerate.
Place in medium saucepan with tightly fitting lid, put over high heat, wait till steam rises from the pot.
Lower heat to low, steam a further 4 minutes, check for doneness.
If you can get the fish to come apart using a fork, it's done.
Remove from heat immediately and serve with plain rice and greens.Comment
