Good Things Small Parcels

March 17th - Home alone - again - with the pressure on to stick to my resolution because I've not tried a new recipe for a week (been away).  I am in 'body is my temple mode' (well, since yesterday, having avoided cake, sweets (bar a few smarties!), wine and bagels thus far.....and I even went for a swim) so I was in the mood for something light and healthy.  I had lots of lurking vegetables in the fridge and had bought myself some fish before looking in the recipe books for an idea.  The picture for Fillet of Sole en Papillote with carrot, ginger and leek looked perfect and the list of ingredients was not too long.  I had no leeks or white wine but did not let that put me off.  I quickly 'sweated' the carrot (julienne-ish), ginger and broccoli and added some pak choi.....great I thought, but then I had to turn to page 149 for the teriyaki marinade.  Ingredient disaster.... so I took huge artistic liberties with the recipe and combined soy sauce, sesame oil, a bit of honey, red chilli and some hoi sin sauce instead.  I couldn't wait till the veg cooled so put everything in the parcel and stuck it in the oven.  It was ready in 12 minutes.

My mum is a big fan of cooking in parcels so this one's for you mum!
