We Got a Food Processor!!

Along with my wonderful roommate returning from winter break, she brought with her....A FOOD PROCESSOR.  I couldn't contain my excitement with all the thoughts of pestos and other yummy sauces running through my head.  To break in the gadget, we chose a Basil-Mint Sauce to top our tilapia (the original recipe was for snapper, but our budget made us figure any white fish would work).  Fresh and light, we paired it with some jasmine rice and steamed green beans and bacon bits.

Tilapia w/ Basil-Mint Sauce
2 tilapia filets ($2.59)
salt & pepper, to taste (bulk item)
1 c. basil leaves ($1.68)
1/4 c. mint leaves ($1.68)
2 tbsp. chopped/seeded jalapeno ($.12)
2 tbsp. olive oil (bulk item)
2 tbsp. water
2 tsp. lime juice ($.20)
1 garlic clove, chopped (bulk item)
1/4 tsp. salt (bulk item)
Preheat broiler.  Arrange fish on baking dish coated w/cooking spray.  Sprinkle fish with 1/4 tsp. salt and pepper.  Broil for 6 min. or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Combine basil and remaining ingredients in a food processor, and process for one minute, or until smooth.  Serve on fish, and enjoy! Serves 2 ($6.27/$3.14 per serving).
