Subject: Tomatoe Pie
My grandmother used to make a dish with tomatoes, bread and
sugar. I'm not sure what it was called. I also don't know if
she used canned or fresh tomatoes. I do know it was done in
the oven. She was of either German or Irish decent and was
born and lived in Tennesse her whole life. There may have
also been other ingredients but I don't know for sure.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
Hello Jim,

I came across a roadside cafe. The touring party I was with had
lunch there. The served a dish with a large Green Pepper that
was stuffed With several different Italian Cheeses. And a surperb
wine with it. I have abeen trying with no results to find the recipe
and the type of wine served with it. I believe it was in the area
of Sorrento /Florence. I hope you can help me.
Hello Joseph,
I wish I could help, but the below recipe is the only one that I could find that didn't have rice and ground beef.
Sorry.

Baked Stuffed Peppers
Peperoni Imbottiti
Serves 4
8 Bell Peppers of Any Color-Leaving them Whole
1 Pound of Fresh Mozzarella
1 Bunch Fresh Basil Leaves
Salt & Pepper
Fresh Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 Cups Prepared Homemade Tomato Sauce
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Make a 2-3 inch slit along one
side of each of the peppers. Remove the seeds and membranes carefully
through this slit. Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/4 inch thick
slices the same length as the peppers. Insert these slices into the
peppers. Add a few basil leaves finely chopped on top of the cheese,

Oil a large baking pan lightly, and lay out the peppers across the

sprinkle well with parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly and browned,
about 1 hour. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with fresh
basil leaves.

Hi Bobby,
"Bocourti" is just another name for "Basa" fish, It's a Vietnamese relative
of the catfish. You can use this fish in any recipes that's used for other
white fish.
Below are are few recipes that my readers have sent in for Basa.
Phaed
Basa Creole
1-2 Tbs olive oil
4-6 fish fillets (about 1 lb)
1 medium onion, sliced
1 small bell pepper (green, yellow, red), julienned
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small fresh hot chile (variety and amount to taste), chopped,
or 1 - 4 oz can diced green chiles (e.g. Ortega)
4 large tomatoes, chopped or 1 - 14.5 oz can crushed or whole
tomatoes.
1 Tbs red wine vinegar or lemon juice
3/4 tsp dried basil
1 pinch of powdered cumin
2 Tbs parsley, chopped
1/4 tsp salt
Several twists of black pepper from a grater
Heat oil in large nonstick skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper, basil, parsely, and fresh chile
(if used). Add tomatoes, canned chiles (if used), vinegar or lemon
juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer covered for about
30 minutes. Add fillets, spooning tomatoe mixture over top. Simmer
covered for another 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when
tested with a fork. Serve with noodles, brown rice, or white rice.

Roasted Basa Fillets with Artichoke and Crab Relish

1 10-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Cayenne, salt and black pepper, to taste

juice, then season to taste with garlic powder, Cajun seasoning,
salt and pepper. Place fillets in a baking dish and bake for 8 to
10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the mushrooms and green onions and saute until the mushrooms
are golden. Add the remaining lemon juice, artichoke hearts,
crabmeat, thyme, oregano, garlic powder and cayenne, salt and
black pepper to taste. Add the whipping cream, and cook until
the artichokes and crabmeat are heated through. Taste and adjust
seasonings.
When fish is cooked, place on individual serving plates and top with
the relish.

Easy Basa
Coat fish in mixture of flour, salt & white pepper;
Dip in beaten egg,
Coat with Instant Potato Flakes,
Fry in med hot pan in olive oil until flaky.
-------------------------------------------------
I have used the following recipe for basa many times and
it is one one of my favorite all time meals. Somewhat of
a variation of your steamed one. The basa fillet we have
available here is approximately 1/2 pound, just enough for
one person. I take an approx. 20" square piece of heavy
duty aluminum foil and fold it in half. Open back up and
lay one fillet in the middle of one half. Spread mayonnaise
on both sides. Lay pieces of thick sliced zucchini around
entire fish. Season with garlic salt or whatever is available.
Squeeze the juice from two limes over fish. Pour Crystals hot
sauce liberally over everything. I use Crystals because I
think it has more flavor than Tabasco but not the heat.
Plus they have a garlic flavored version, hard to find,
that is great.
Fold the foil back to make a pocket and bake at 350 degrees
for 18 minutes. This recipe makes a "gravy" that is fantastic
served over white rice.
