Note: This recipe, whuch I got from HERE, is obviously flawed and incomplete:
1) What is "saute spice"?
2) How much lemon juice is in the 1/4 cup "lemon butter"?
3) What is "calamari-dredged tilapia"? "Calamari" is squid!
Anyone know the answers?
Jalapeno Garlic Tilapia (Johnny Carino's)
Ingredients:
1 oz Melted Margarine
1/2 tsp Chopped Garlic
1/4 c lemon butter
1 Tilapia
5 oz angel hair pasta (cooked)
1/8 c chopped Jalapenos
1/8 c Roma tomatoes
1/2 c chopped spinach
parsley garnish
1/4 tsp sauté spice
3 oz heavy cream
To a heated sauté pan, add margarine, garlic and calamari-dredged tilapia. Once the bottom
of the tilapia has cooked, flip the tilapia over in the pan and add jalapenos, spinach and
sauté spice. Heat pasta in boiling water until heated and drain well. Place pasta in a bed
in center of plate. Once tilapia starts to flake throughout, add cream and lemon butter.
Let sauce reduce until thickened. Place tilapia fillets over bed of pasta. Pour sauce evenly
over center. Garnish with Roma tomatoes and fresh parsley.

Subject: Mangosteen
Hello,
I am trying to find a place in California where I can buy the fruit,
Mangosteen. It comes from Asian countries. I know that it is sold in Hawaii
but is there a place here in California whether it be a small fruit stand or
an actual store that sells this fruit?
If you could help me then that would be great..
Thank you,
Delilah
Hello Delilah,
It's almost impossible to find fresh mangosteen in the U.S. It's very
difficult to grow mangosteen outside the tropics, and there are restrictions
against importing the fruit into the U.S. due to insect infestations.
A few California growers may be trying to grow it. See here:
California Rare Fruit Growers
You can buy frozen mangosteen and mangosteen juice. See:
Exotic Fruit
