Kuhaa sinappi- ja kapriskermassa
sunnuntai 25. lokakuuta 2020
Onneksi mieheni älysi laittaa verkot veteen eilen ... tänään meri palkitsi kahdella kuhalla ja muutamilla ahvenilla. Rakastamme tuoretta kalaa! Osasta ahvenfileistä tein cevicheä, joka nyt maustuu chilin, suolan, valkosipulin ja sipulin kanssa iltaan asti. Loput ahvenfileet paistoin ruskistetussa voissa ja niiden seuraksi tein voisalviakastikkeen. Taianomaista! Kuhat syötiin uskomattoman ihanan kastikkeen kera. Helppo resepti tulee tässä!
Ainekset:
4 kuhafilettä, mieluiten nahallisia
suolaa ja pippuria
voita paistamiseen
Kastike:
2-3 dl kermaa (käytin kaurakermaa)
1-2 rkl Dijonsinappia
1-2 rkl tavallista hyvää sinappia
kaprista ja ohuita sitruunanviipaleita
Suolaa ja pippuroi fileet kevyesti. Paista ne kullankeltaisiksi voissa, ensin nahkapuoli rapsakaksi. Ota fileet pannulta ja pidä lämpiminä. Sirottele hieman sormisuolaa niiden päälle.
Keitä nopeasti kokoon kerma ja sinappi ja tarkista maku. Lisää kaprista oman maun mukaan.
Tarjoile kala kastikkeen ja sitruunanviipaleiden kanssa. Purista sitruunaa annoksen päälle ja lisää kaprista jos haluat.
Keitetyt perunat ja ruusukaali ovat mainio lisuke. Aikamoinen herkkupäivällinen!
My version of "fried green tomatoes"
torstai 22. lokakuuta 2020
Ingredients (light lunch 2-3 persons):
5 medium-sized green tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 dl all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 dl crushed small pretzels/salted crackers/wasabi nuts/salted peanuts
2-3 eggs, beaten
butter/oil for frying
1. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper (and other dry spices that you want to use). Place the crushed pretzels/crackers/nuts in another bowl. Beat the eggs slightly in a third bowl.
2. Melt the butter (or oil) in a large pan over medium heat. Dip each tomato slice first in the beaten egg, then in the flour mixture. Dip the floured tomato slice once more in the egg and then into the crushed pretzels/crackers/nuts.
3. Place the coated tomato slices in the hot pan and fry until golden brown on each side. It takes about 3-5 minutes/side. Add more butter/oil to the pan if necessary. SERVE IMMEDIATELY, THE TOMATOES DON'T TASTE AS DELICIOUS LATER WHEN COLD.
Note: I coated half the batch in crumbs made of salted peanuts and wasabi nuts and the other half in salted pretzel crumbs. They were both delicious, but as we like spicy I must admit that the wasabi-peanut version was the winning concept, both texture- and tastewise.

Halloumi, courgette and herb cakes (Gordon Ramsay)
torstai 1. lokakuuta 2020
I have lost count of the immense amount of squash/zucchini/courgette recipes that have come my way and been put to the test ... and this one belongs to the top three. It's really easy to make if you have the opportunity to use a food processor to grate the halloumi, squash and carrot. Of course you can grate the ingredients by hand but then it takes more time. The result is the same, provided that you don't grate your fingertips. The patties were easy to fry because of the short rest in the fridge. A winning concept if you like halloumi as much as I do!
Ingredients for 8 large or 16 small patties:
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 courgette/zucchini/squash, grated (I took a middle-sized one)
500 g halloumi cheese, grated (this sounded a lot, so I only used 400 g, which was enough)
2-4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
2-4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
olive oil, for frying
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
