I got the recipe below from a member here yesterday - It calls for 5 pounds -I am only going to be using 1 1/2 - 2 1/4 pounds what is the best way to modify this The Best Tasting Mahi Mahi 5 pounds skinned, deboned mahi mahi, cut into chunks 3/4 (4.5 ounce) jar bottled minced garlic 1/2 cup butter, diced 1 large onion, diced 1 1/2 lemons, juiced 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 1/2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chile peppers salt and pepper to taste 8 ounces shredded pepperjack cheese DIRECTIONSPreheat grill for high heatPlace mahi mahi in an aluminum foil pan, and toss with the garlic to coatDistribute butter evenly throughout panSpread onions over fishPour the lemon juice, wine, and diced tomatoes with green chile peppers over the fishSeason with salt and pepperTightly cover pan with aluminum foilPlace pan on the grill grate, and cook fish 35 minutes, or until easily flaked with a forkSprinkle with cheese before serving.
This is just a case of reducing everything proportionately and following the same methodIt is unlikely to matter if you're not absolutely exact For 2lbs of fish, use about one third of a 4.5oz jar of minced garlic quarter cup butter or a bit less 1/2 a medium onion 1/2 a large lemon, juiced 3 fl oz dry white wine (a cup is 8 fluid oz) 1/2-3/4 can of tomatoes 3 oz cheese Enjoy it!
usually ceramic or glass, or at least a bowl with some such type of coatingCast iron, say, would not be considered non-reactive for many ingredientsI will be honest, though, and say that i have never seen a recipe talk about using a non-reactive bowlI imagine that you are dealing with something that has acidity from vinegar or fruit juice, tomato sauce perhaps, or something like that, in which case some metals would not be recommended (the acidity could leach metal and give metallic flavor to the mixture)Stainless steel would probably be non-reactive, depending on what you haveAluminum would be reactiveCooking does not usually involve chemical conditions where there is any issue apart from flavor degradationNot like the stuff will explode.
