This is a simply, yet elegant and interesting weeknight meal.  Even the fish averse in your family are likely to enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 Tbs coconut oil or canola oil
  • 1 medium onion diced (red, yellow or white), about 1 cup
  • 2 Tbs fresh peeled and diced fresh ginger or 1 Tbs minced ginger jarred (prefer The Ginger People brand)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

DIRECTIONS:

  • In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add onion, ginger and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
