Squid and fennel Recipe






























I found this recipe years ago in Delicious magazine, and that is what it is...delicious. 
Simple too. So I make it regularly

For 2 persons you need:
Squid: 6
Fennel bulb(s): 1 or 2
Star anise: 2
Coriander seeds: a tablespoon
Mint: 2 sprigs
Lemon: 1
Olive oil

Start with cleaning the squid: look here for a video:

Then the fennel. Mine was big, so I cut it into 3 mm thick slices. Smaller ones you can cut in halves, remove the tough heart and finally cut both halves in 4 wedges.

Heat some oil in a griddle pan, add star anise and coriander seeds and finally the fennel. Fry for about 3 mins per side.

When nicely browned transfer them to a plate and add some more oil, lemon juice and shredded mint, to marinate for 1 hour.

Finally grill the squid in the same griddle pan, till nicely brown and soft, this will take about 3-4 minutes. Add the fennel to warm. Put in a nice way on warmed plates. Enjoy!

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simm...
