Pan-fried John Dory with Norfolk mussels, celeriac, apple and chives Recipe

Cut the John Dory fillets (St Pierre, zonnevis) straight down the centre so you have 4 pieces, then score the centre of each piece

Chop the bones, remove the gills from the head and wash the bones and head under running water for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside 

Place 100g butter into a pan and melt gently. Sweat down 2 sliced shallots, 2 cloves of garlic and 2 celery sticks until soft but not coloured. Add the bones and sweat for a couple of minutes

Add 200ml cider and enough water just to cover the bones. Bring to the boil and cook very slowly for 15 minutes

Strain through a sieve into a pan. Reduce the stock over a medium high heat to 250ml. Add 100 ml double cream, re-boil and set to one side

Cut some celeriac into 5mm dice and cook in boiling salted water. Refresh in iced water then drain and set to one side

Heat a pan with a lid and add 20 cleaned mussels. Pour in 50 ml cider and cover with the lid so that the mussels steam open very quickly

When the shells have opened, tip them into a colander set in a bowl to retain the liquid

Remove the mussels from the shells and put to one side. Pass the liquid through a sieve and set aside 

To cook the fish, get a large non-stick pan and add 1 tbsp olive oil. Place the fish into the hot oil skin side down and pan fry gently until half cooked

Turn the fish over and remove the pan from the stove, the fish will cook through in the residual heat

Wilt 250 g spinach in 15 g butter and season with salt

Bring the sauce up to the boil and add some of the mussel stock to taste. Add the diced celeriac, a diced Granny Smith apple and mussels, bring back to the boil then add 2 tbsp chives

Divide the spinach between two big bowls, arranging it in mounds in the centre of each bowl

Pour the sauce around and arrange the apple, celeriac and mussels around the bowls

Place two fillets of John Dory per portion on the spinach and 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
