Mummy’s Fast & Easy

Finally I’ve got access to my computer!
The baby’s sleeping and the keypad batteries are on!
Yes, I had an issue with my keypad today so I was unable to post the Wednesday recipes.
And you know what the issue was – I put new batteries a several times but it refused to work.
An hour ago I realised, all these times I’ve forgotten to switch the power button on.
What a mess! Well, yes, I’m a Blondie.:)
Anyway, the recipe is here now and it’s real good – Fish Stew!
I used pouting(first time using it), apparently it’s from the cod family and quite similar to it but smaller.

Here’s what you need.

Preparation:
  1. Heat a pan with the butter. Sweat the onions and garlic for a couple of minutes and add the fish. Leave for 5 minutes.
