When I first started cooking this Barramundi meal, I wasn't sure if it would be suitable for publishing, being a new combination of elements for me, even though I have eaten them all separately before. My goal was to serve perfectly cooked crispy Barramundi fillets with a tasty and low calorie grain dish as a side, and some pan fried halloumi because we love it. This meal exceeded my expectations and the fish was the perfect protein to serve with the Risotto.
This is an easy-peasy recipe.... ready to eat in less than 20 minutes, it's nutritious and low calorie. Oh and of course it's delicious or it wouldn't be on my website. I've played around with the flavours a bit, to bring it up to just how I like it.
This is one of those recipes where you eat the food on the plate with your eyes first, then tuck in. 
Dear readers, Life's heating up in my kitchen as Summer approaches and this monthly IMK will give you food stories, travel stories, garden stories, and whatever else I've been up to in our tropical home and beyond that I think you will find interesting. So grab a cuppa or cold drink and read on at your leisure.
A Chicken Casserole has always been a classic way to cook chicken pieces in a covered dish in the oven with vegetables, herbs and a delicious gravy or sauce, and yet so many people are nervous about making one. This recipe will convince you how easy it is to achieve a delicious and nutritious Chicken Casserole in your own kitchen but with a French influence. I couldn't in all conscience as an Aussie, call this a French Cassoulet, as there is no sausage, mutton or pork in it, but there are beans, chicken and lots of flavour, and it is much easier to cook. Casseroles are also a great way to stretch the budget.
