Joey's Fish Papillon
What was Used
3 White Fish
1 Red Onion
5 Pieces of Garlic
6 Cherry Tomatoes
3 Slices of Lemon
White Wine
Aluminium Foil
How it was Seasoned
White Pepper
Spicy Sea Salt
Cyennepeper/Cyan Pepper
How it was Made
Take a sufficient amount of aluminium foil, place the fish in the centre of it.
Put a slice of lemon on top of the fish (centre).
Then place (as much as you want) the chopped garlic and red onion on top of each fish.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and place the four half's on each fish.
Season it with the ingredients above.
Now wrap the fish in the aluminium, giving it a bowl-like shape.
Then pour 1 cup of wine in each Papillon.
Close the top of the aluminium bowl-like shape, but allow sufficient room so that the fish can generate enough steam in the oven within this dome-like foil.
Put it on a baking tray.
Leave in oven for half an hour 200 degrees.
This dish can be served with vegetables, we had it with spinach.
Enjoy!

Easy peazy Poached Eggs
What is needed
Farm owned eggs
Vinegar
Cucumber
Bananas
How it was seasoned...
How it was made
Put sufficient water in a big pot
Bring water to an "almost boil" (simmer!)
Add 2 tsp of vinegar (we used crystal vinegar 100% natural) The vinegar will help the egg whites sustain their shape.
Crack egg(s) into a small cup or bowl of your choosing
Then use a whisker to swiftly rotate the water in a circular motion for about a minute
Gently place eggs in the centre of this awesome simmering tornado or as Joey likes to call it in Belgiumiese (Draaikolk... Say that 10x really fast.)
Turn off the heat and leave it for 4 minutes
Lift eggs from the pot using a slotted spoon
You can dry it out by placing it on a paper towel, we didn't have any.
Then place it on to your bread buns
Add banana to the side
Season
EAT.
LOVE.
This was our first time poaching an egg, although the end result wasn't "perfect" it still looked pretty appetising and it tasted wonderful. Highly recommended as a healthy alternative to your regular fried egg. The dynamic of a nicely poached egg with multi-grain bread (fresh from the bakery) and small bits of banana was surprisingly flavourable. The cucumber, although aesthetically pleasing didn't fit into the overall taste of the meal, this can easily be replaced or taken out of the dish entirely.
When it comes to poaching eggs, practice makes perfect!
