After Christmas Meal

It’s always a pleasure to take a break from all that rich heavy Christmas gastronomic excesses. Today I decided to serve my boys Fried Tilapia ala Pobre. Since this is a rather simple dish I always make it a point to style the fried tilapia by putting some slices of red tomatoes. I also put a cup of rice with some tomato slices to be served with bagoong that will simply partner well with the Tilapia.

To make the dish a bit more extraordinary, top with roasted garlic chips (please see the recipe for this in an older post).
