Chopped 7/28/10

Here is another Chopped round. This was a tough one I might add. I tossed out some ingredients to my coworker Sumi, who also enjoys cooking and experimenting, and she even thought they were hard!  This rounds ingredients:

1. Hummus (I think it was red pepper hummus)
2. Banana
3. Fishsticks
4. Cheerios

In this challenge, he took the fish sticks, deconstructed them, and fried them with bananas.  He also incorporated the cheerios into the fish cake by crushing them into nothing, and adding them to the fish cake while lightly frying the combo.  The hummus is on the bread, and in little dots around the plate  ;)  There is a lemon for taste, and believe it or not, these were delicious. I do not often eat fish, being a vegetarian for 20+ years, I have had fish maybe a half a dozen times. I tried to incorporate it while pregnant, and just really could not do it. But these, I ate a whole one.  And our son loved it as well. It sounds odd, banana and fish, but the sweetness was minimal, and in my opinion they went well together!  Try it sometime!
