Hi all. Got lots of time on my hands at the mo so gonna share some recipies with you all. All good and bad crit welcome.
Salmon marinaded in lime and red chilli. Pretty self explanatory this one. Use the larger, less spicy red chillies unless you like it valconic. I use one lime per piece of salmon. Cut into eight segments to get more juice out of them. Marinade for about 15 mins then wrap in foil and bake in oven for about 20-30 mins. I serve it with cous-cous and roasted seasonal veg but have been trying to think of suitable alternatives. Any ideas folks?

For me personally the king of all summer savoury dishes is fresh tuna salad nicoise. Far too tasty. If you know how to make it then always start with the dressing as it takes the most time by far. If not, tescos (SATAN !) do an absolutely blinding basil and pesto dressing in bottles.
The salad itself is pretty straight forward. The classic version is made up of tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, black olives steamed new potatoes and steamed green beans. Put all these together in the salad bowl, add the dressing, toss well and then plate up.
With regard to the tuna steak i always squeeze lemon and grind some black pepper over it before cooking. Heat some olive oil in a suitable pan and then put in the tuna. Cook to personal preference. I always go for slightly pink in the middle. To ensure this then turn about 4 times whilst cooking and cook for no longer than 5 minutes on a medium to high gas. Check this in recipie books to be safe though folks.
When done, place the tuna on salad. Garnish with anchovie fillets, a lemon wedge and a medium-hard boiled egg that is cut into quarters.
All comments welcome. |
