Tilapia with Heirloom Tomatoes and Capers over Jasmine Rice
Here is a great gluten free dinner idea that works especially well for summer. I created my own sauce for this tilapia dish by heating extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan, adding fresh crushed garlic, chopped shallots, a little chicken broth, heirloom grape tomatoes sliced lengthwise, some jarred capers, a little sea salt and fresh pepper and a pat of Earth Balance to finish it off. I cooked this just until the tomatoes were tender and the flavors melded nicely together. The sauce simmered on the stove over low heat while I prepared the rest of the meal. I simply cooked the tilapia on the stove in a large non-stick pan for several minutes on each side. The jasmine rice was steamed in the microwave, and green beans in a pot of water on the stove. It all came together really quickly- 20 minutes max. For a pretty presentation, plate the rice, top with tilapia, cover with the tomatoes and sauce, add green beans (french green beans would have been better but I didn't have any on hand this day) and your done! It really is an easy but elegant dish, and so delish!
