Deep fried musssels, wasabi mayo Recipe

Image
I had some nice fat  mussels from the freezer (12 p.p.) but if you have leftover mussels: remove them from their shells and pat dry.  Then make a dip sauce by adding some wasabi , shichimi togarashi and a few drops of lemon juice to sugar free  mayonaise. Dredge the mussels trough flour , beaten egg white and panko (Japanese breadcrumbs). Deep fry 5 or 6 at the time, a matter of seconds to see them turning nice and brown. Set apart on kitchen paper.  Serve as shown, in my case with avocado from simple food, looking good Deep fried musssels, wasabi mayo Recipe from Sweet Cake Deep fried musssels, wasabi mayo Recipe https://sweetteabiscuits.blogspot.com/2019/08/deep-fried-musssels-wasabi-mayo-recipe.html

My daughter who is a big fan of limes and lemon always asks for a key lime pie whenever we go to eat out. For the summer vacations, she was asking me to make one and the time went by doing a lot of things other than this Lime Pie. On the first day of school, I want to surprise her and so I made this easy, simple pie which can be done within no time. The best key lime pie ever. A bit tart, a bit sweet and an incredibly easy dish which will be your family's favorite.

Squeeze in the juice of  1/4 lime , add 2 tbsp olive oil and a dollop of  jalapeño relish . Season with salt and pepper. Stir into a nice chunky mix. Make the Mexican aguachile by blending a  bunch of coriander , the juice of a  lime , a tbsp of mild  jalapeño relish , a  garlic clove , half a  shallot  and 10 ml  fishsauce .  together in a food processor,  it should be spicy, fresh, herbaceous and citric. If it’s too thick, loosen with a little water. Season with salt if the fish sauce hasn’t already added the necessary balance from simple food, looking good Chimichurri/aquac...
