Pan-fried red mullet on courgette tagliatelle with scallop and basil pesto Recipe



Roast 1/2 bulb of garlic in a 160°C oven for about 45 mins.
In the meantime start with the the basil pesto, place 30 gr of basil, 8 gr Parmesan, 8 gr toasted pine nuts, 20 ml grapeseed oil, 10 ml olive oil and blend until a coarse texture is achieved. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a small bowl and set aside



i
Then prepare the fish velouté, sweat a shallot in a little oil and butter until soft. Add 70 ml white wine as well as a splash of Noilly Prat, bring to the boil and then reduce. Add 200 ml fish stock and reduce by half before adding 125 ml cream

Bring back to the boil and reduce until thickened slightly. Take the garlic from the oven and squeeze the garlic pulp out of the skin and add to the velouté to taste. Blend until smooth and season. 

Up the oven to 170°C. Slice a courgette in half, remove the seeds and then slice into long thin ribbons (or buy readymade courgette tagliatelle in the supermarket). Blanch very quickly, drain well and toss in a little butter, seasoning well

Season 2 mullet fillets and pan fry in a little olive oil, skin side down. Once the skin has started to crisp, transfer to the oven and cook for 2-3 minutes depending on size of fillet. Finish with a little butter, basting well

Season 2 scallops and sauté in a hot pan, finish with butter and a little lemon juice

Place the courgette tagliatelle in the centre of two warmed bowls. Top the courgette with the mullet fillet and seared scallop. Spoon the velouté in the bowls along with a small amount of basil pesto, serve immediately

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
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 simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni

Pani Puri with Homemade Puris

Image
P ani Puri is one of my favorite chaats from childhood. Whenever we go out, we used to thoroughly enjoy the chaat from the roadside street vendors. In every nook and corner, you can see a pani puri stall. We used to have competition, as who will have more puris. Every Indian like pani puri to the core. It is said that this not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the kid in you alive. Once during fasting time, in Bangalore, after breaking the fast I had 30- 35 pani puris without eating anything. I like to have them anytime of the day. After coming to the US it has become very rare to find pani puri. We will get the pani puri kit in all the Indian stores. I started making it from scratch as we don’t find the puris most of the time in stores. My daughter loves it a lot. She won’t eat anything else if pani puri is there for snacks. Pani puris have different names like the puchkas, gol gappas and so on. Pani means water and puri are the fried puffed dough balls. Yesterday was my s
