Stuffed baby squid Recipe


       Begin by making the tomato sauce. Put 150g very finely sliced      onion into a           saucepan with 1 tbsp olive oil and let it sweat     slowly over a low-medium heat for around 15 minutes until it's soft (do not allow it to colour). If it looks as though it might catch, add a splash of water to the pan

Add 500g large, ripe tomatoes, 1tbsp tomato paste and season with salt. Leave to simmer over a low heat for about 45 minutes, until the tomatoes are thick and rich, adding a little water if the level of the liquid gets too low. Remove from the heat

Put 1/2 tbsp oil oil in another pan with 1 chopped clove of garlic and cook over a low-medium heat. When it's almost golden brown, add 10g basil leaves and stir. Pass the oil through a sieve into the cooked tomato sauce

Whisk the sauce to break up the tomatoes. If it's too thick, thin it with a little water, ideally some pasta cooking water. Pass the sauce through a wide-holed sieve resting over a bowl, and use the back of a ladle to extract the smooth mixture. I added 1tbsp homemade red pesto.

Check the seasoning and add more salt if necessary 

Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6

Blanch 60g frozen peas in boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain well

Put 2 baby squid (keep the tentacles) and 1 (boiled) egg white into a food processor and pulse until they are roughly chopped. Add 100g diced romano peppers, the blanched peas and 5g chives and continue to pulse until you have a coarse mixture

Use this mixture to stuff 4 baby squid, keeping some space free at the top. Place a piece of the tentacles at the end of the filling and close the calamari with a rosemary sprig or a toothpick

Trim the other end of each calamari to create a tiny hole and keep the filling from bursting out when cooking

Heat a large heatproof baking dish over a medium heat and fry a garlic clove in 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the calamari and fry for a couple of minutes until browned, then pour in 50ml white wine and let it evaporate over a medium-high heat

Add 200ml of the tomato sauce and 100ml fish stock, then transfer to the oven for 20 minutes. You can check the filling is cooked through by sticking a toothpick in the centre of the filling; it should feel hot when you touch your lips. 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
