Fish Friday -1

Fish Friday -1, sea bass and razor clams

(OK we actually had this on Thursday, but if you don’t tell anybody we should be fine!)

The foundations of this dish were yellow sticker Sea Bass fillets at £1 each and a yellow sticker tub of sliced sweet Chorizo at £0.20. Great ingredients which in the case of the Sea Bass would generally be beyond ‘Budget’ on their own, deserved a great recipes. We still broke budget by a pound or so, but we’re no going to beat ourselves up about that. A lot of dishes we’ve created recently have been under budget and fed us for two days…..

I wonder how much we would have paid in a fish restaurant for the following:-

Razor Clams with Chorizo, Garlic and Shallots, dressed with fresh home grown Pea micro greens.
Seared Sea Bass in Caper and Lemon Butter sauce, dressed with home grown Parsley.
Mini Hassleback Potatoes dressed with Garlic Butter
Accompanied by Garden Peas

Yes, yes we went a bit restauranty. Sorry, not sorry!

A++ Superior Stuffing Balls

OK so these Stuffing Balls might be a bit conceited, they can’t help it I guess….. There are some recipes and sides which Sue continues to revisit and improve, these are usually better replacements for their Gluten containing counterparts. Stuffing balls are on the list.

When we had our Seafood Fest a couple of nights ago we soaked too many Chickpeas so in the food processor they went!

Ingredients:-

3 Sliced of Gluten free bread, wuzzed up
1 Cup (Mug) of Chickpeas, soaked, boiled and drained
1 Onion, finely diced
The Zest of a Lemon
Margarine
1 Egg
Dried Parsley
Dried Sage
Dried Rosemary
Dried Thyme
Salt & Petter

Method:-

(1) Sautee the Onions in a little Margarine.
(2) Add the dried Herbs.
(3) Simmer for 10 minutes
(3) Wuzz the Chickpeas and Bread together.
(4) Mix the Onions, Lemon Zest in with the Bread crumbs and Chickpeas in a mixing bowl.
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper and mix well.
(6) Allow to cool and then mix in the Egg.
(7) Form into balls and pop in the oven with your roast spuds etc.
(8) After 10 minutes brush with the remaining Margarine from the pan and cook for a further 10 minutes to brown.

This made quite a large batch of Stuffing Balls some of which we had with our roast Chicken dinner. The remaining ones are in the fridge, but they won’t last long as they are really good cold…..
