Comments: This recipe works with any firm-fleshed white fish, too. Just
cut fish into 1-inch pieces. The cooking time should be about the same --
the fish turns opaque white when done.
Description:
"Ouzo and Pernod are licorice-flavored liqueurs, and add depth of
flavor to this dish."

Lycopene rich foods (includes water melon, red peppers and cochinchin gourd) Lycopene is a non-synthetic compound used to color foods and a member of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. This chemical is the reason for the vivid red hue of some types of food. Intrestingly, unlike many nutritional compounds, it does not degrade if cooked, but is really made more effective by being cooked. . Its main health contribution is that it works as an antioxidant and appears to help reduce the chances of cancer. This useful phytochemical is the most effective fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It's also thought to slow down the development of atherosclerosis. The Glycaemic Index Diet The gi (or glycaemic index) diet is based around the gi index, a chart showing foods and an indicator of the speed with which the glucose in the food gets changed to sugar in the dieters blood stream. The theory is that slow acting types of food (ie with a low Glycaemic index score), suppress your appetite for longer and help you to eat less food without starving yourself. It is also beneficial for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI foods are helpful in preventing increases in glucose levels. |
