    prepare catfish.
    The Hawaiian-style sauce is complimented by the mild fish and the sweetness of the pineapple.
    Ingredients:
    
        * 3 catfish fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
        * 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
        * 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
        * 1 cup pineapple chunks
        * Marinade:
        * 1/4 cup olive oil
        * 2 cloves garlic, minced
        * 2 tablespoons soy sauce
        * 1 tablespoon lime juice
        * 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
        * 2 green onions, chopped finely
        * 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    
    Preparation:
    Thread fish onto 4-6 bamboo skewers. Place bell pepper, onion, and pineapple alternately between catfish chunks. Set skewers in a pan.
    
    To prepare the marinade, combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Pour mixture over fish skewers, cover, and allow to marinate in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
    
    Preheat grill for high heat. Remove skewers from pan, discard marinade. Place skewers on grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning once. The fish should flake easily when fully cooked. Remove from heat and serve.
    Prep Time: 12 minutes
    Cook Time: 10 minutes
    Total Time: 22 minutes

Maybe you have even cooked with truffles but are still not entirely sure of the origins of this funny-looking, yet ultra gourmet food.
