Bacalao Vizcaina is a basque/northern spain fried cod dish served w a romesco sauce. I followed the recipe below but used two tomatoes, and added 1 tsp caper liquid for more flavor.

Seared shishitos: in a hot pan (no oil) put in washed shishitos and salt to taste. Mix/turn frequently as they will blister. Upon desired doneness remove from pan and put into serving dish, and season w pepper (i do not add pepper while cooking to prevent it from burning). Optional: garlic/onion powder (again do not season w this until it is not in the hot pan anymore).

Instead of Halloumi as its expensive I used Queso de Frier. Also added spinach for more nutrients.

I've been seeing alot of photos lately w cats wearing shirts- as does my littlest one, Cid. I think he likes that they are snug and provide a "warming hug" feeling (he always purrs when he gets them on), and especially in winter I think he likes they provide additional warmth since his fur is quite thin 🥰🥹🥰

Need a few more for the first batch 😌

This was located near Guane, Santander Region of Colombia . Unsure of the species but recognized it as a major from AntsCanada 😅

I decided to try this dinner option on a whim because I was feeling lazy tonight, and while cooking/tasting i feel there a few things you can also do to help this taste better and also beef it up to last longer. Otherwise, for a easy dinner asian option I would give this a solid 7/10, and after a few modifications this can easily reach 8/9 out of 10.

1. The meat and veg portion of this was a bit minimal so I ended up adding 3 sliced Bella mushrooms to it (all I had left in the fridge but more would be great!). Also I added some fresh chopped spring onions (also from aldi) bc I love onions and why not. Also hot pepper flakes 🔥 I added all of these in along w the noodles.

2. The sauce was a bit sweet, which maybe palatable for many but if you also happen to find it too sweet, try adding about 1 tsp of rice vinegar. If you do not have that- use normal vinegar. Mix well and taste- this should cut the sweetness. Adjust to your personal taste if necessary.

3. At the very end I added about 2 handfuls of spinach mix and stirred until the residual heat wilted them. Im always looking for ways to get more veg in and this fit perfectly.

4. Other Ideas if you want to boost this:

Add additional chopstick/sliced carrots or bell peppers! Make sure they are thinly sliced so they cook quickly with the rest of the ingredients.

Adding sliced jalapenos would also be good if you're looking to kick it up a notch.

God tier: serve with a side of kimchi 🔥🔥🔥

Make an easy sesame broccoli side dish:

In boiling salted water, add 1 head of chopped broccoli (bite size pieces) along w about 1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil. Boil until tender (about 5-7 min) and remove/strain. The sesame oil will offer a 'slight' non overpowering flavor. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.

Anyway that is my review and adjustments for this easy dinner option!!!
