Guest Blogger: Ben's Flag Flounder

Flounder with brocoli and orange

The nice thing about fish-- it is pretty healthy, and quick to make. With a guest coming over (one of Victoria's family members), I like to do something which both kids and big people can eat. Fish seems like a good idea.

Now fish and rice are good, but there is not much color there. Broccoli makes it healthy, and adds the green. The orange adds that nice citrus bite, and throws in some more color. I suppose this is Irish fish now-- green, orange, and white, like the Irish flag! Of course, this tastes more like something from the East, with the sesame and ginger.  Perhaps India? Niger or Ivory Coast?   Take your pick:

The idea is fresh, healthy and quick. Let me know what you think.
