Flavorful mango salsa complements tilapia in Crisco's winning recipe.
Here at the Tilapia Blog, we’ve known for a long time that families love tilapia. Now the fish gets some serious and well-deserved recognition from a major household name. Tilapia was the key ingredient in the winning recipe of Crisco’s Live Smart, Cook Smarter recipe contest.
On August 4th, 2009 the makers of Crisco announced the grand prize winning recipe: Outrageous Omega-3 DHA Mango Macadamia Tilapia. Susan S. of Fernandina Beach, Florida won the ultimate prize of $25,000 for a kitchen makeover. Four runners-up received $5,000 for kitchen makeovers. (Note: All the runners up created chicken recipes, and they all were beaten by tilapia!)
“We are always excited to offer consumers smarter options to enhance their creative recipes and mealtime routines,” said Maribeth Badertscher, Director, Corporate Communications, The J.M. Smucker Company. “People can incorporate more Omega-3 DHA in their diets, without sacrificing taste, when cooking or baking with Crisco Puritan Canola Oil with Omega-3 DHA.”
The prize-winning recipe pairs our favorite fish with a zesty combination of mango, avocado, black beans and southwestern spices. How could that be anything but delicious?
