It was too embarrassing!Oh yeah, I may not be able to answer your comments, especially if you write over 3 words. You see, our last video got 35 hundred comments. I loved them! But I was so inundated that I couldn’t reply to them all. So just know in advance that we love you! At the end of the show, I’ll be back with Ms. Lulu.

Turn the fillets in the sauce. (Reserve the rest for later.)Allow fish to marinate for at least 10 minutes while you warm up the grill. It's best to make the grill hot, not blazing, or it will burn the tender flesh of the fish. You should hear a nice sizzle when you place fish on the grill.Brush or spray grill with cooking oil, then grill the fish for 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily and the inner flesh is no longer translucent.Once you place it on the grill, allow it to sear undisturbed for at least 2 minutes. If using bigger fish than those shown in video, flip them half way through and cook them longer.Heat up remaining sauce and use as a dip, glaze, or to spoon over the fish (and rice or potatoes) as you eat it.Serve with green onions on top and lime wedges on side.

Drain the fish in a colander or strainer. Keep colander or strainer over the bowl to allow continual draining. One at a time, place a fillet in the casserole dish with the dry ingredients. Pat the “breading” onto the fish to thoroughly coat them. Shake off excess coating and place the fillets onto a dish (what I call a “holding plate).Add the breaded fish to the deep fryer basket in batches. Don’t crowd the basket.

Roast them under the broiler turning often with tongs until the skin becomes charred all over. Remove them from heat and place them in a zip lock bag. Seal the bag and allow chiles to sweat and cool for 10 to 15 minutes.Gently rub the chiles with paper towels to remove as much skin as possible. It's okay if a few flecks remain-they'll add flavor, so don't rinse them off.With each chile, look for a split in the chile skin. (If there is none, gently cut one the length of the chile). Split the chile open wider and gently scoop out the seeds. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chorizo for about 5 minutes, gently breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Then add the tomato paste, oregano, and cumin. Transfer to a large bowl.Add rice, tomatoes, sour cream, cilantro, and cotija cheese to the bowl with the meat mixture and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.Gently spoon the mixture into the cavities of the split poblanos and top with the remaining cheese.Finish the peppers off in the oven at 350° for 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil and put some olive oil on the surface of the aluminum foil. Place the fish filets on top and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the thickest parts of the fillet will flake easily with a fork.Once the crappie is out of the oven and has cooled a little, place them in a medium bowl and use two forks to flake the fish into little pieces.In a large bowl, mix the lemon juice, eggs, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme together with a whisk until well blended. Then add the fish and ½ cup of almond flour to the mixture and mix well with a fork. Add 3 TBS of coconut flour. Add more if the mixture is still too wet.Put 1 cup of almond flour in a glass casserole dish.Using a small scoop, scoop some of the fish mixture and form it into a patty / cake in your hands. Dunk the top and bottom of each cake in the almond flour mixture that is on the plate and then place the finished fish cakes on a separate holding plate.Put the fish cakes in the fridge for 30 minutes (so that they will hold together better).Once the 30 minutes is up, heat 3 TBS of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.Cook each fish cake for 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2½ to 3 minutes. Each side should be golden and crispy.Remove them from the pan and place on a paper towel before serving. Makes 8 fish cakes.

For the dough, combine all dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse to combine. With machine running add vinegar, then egg. If needed, add a teaspoon of water at a time until dough is soft (can be pressed together between fingers). Shape dough into ball, wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.2. For the filling, brown sausage in frying pan, drain fat and allow sausage to cool.When sausage has cooled, mix in eggs and cheese, set aside filling until needed. 3. To assemble the ravioli, since you want the dough almost transparent, only roll out one ravioli at a time - it's much easier to work with small pieces (and scraps can be re-rolled over and over). Between 2 pieces of parchment (or I used a silicone mat underneath), roll/push dough out very thin (as thin as you can without ripping it). Place about a teaspoon of filling on dough, then cover with another piece of dough or fold over the excess of what you've already rolled out (when you are ready to lift the dough over to cover filling, use the parchment/mat to help you lift the dough over and gently roll edge up with fingers, being careful not to tear dough).4. Because the dough is sticky, there is no need to wet the edges to seal. Just cover with another piece of thin dough and press out with cutter.5. Place prepared ravioli on a rack and freeze for 15 minutes. This ensures the dough doesn't cook faster than the filling, and keeps them from getting too brown and crispy.6. To cook, in a large skillet heat butter, oil and garlic. Add the thyme and some ravioli (in a single layer, fry in batches) then fry until lightly golden, about 2 minutes per side.7. Top with your favorite sauce and serve.

Add 1" of canola, corn, sunflower or peanut oil. Heat oil to 360°F. Oil is the perfect temperature when a batter droplet goes to the bottom and then shoots up to the surface floating to sizzle. Overheated oil will brown too quickly. Low-heated oil will cause soggy/greasy tempura. Add some shrimp or vegetables to the hot oil. Do not fry too many pieces at a time. Flip pieces only once and fry until golden brown, about 1½ minutes per side.Don't stack pieces on top of each other when draining. Serve hot for maximum crispiness.
