Fish, Chips, Peas and Caper Sauce

Fish, Chips, Peas and Caper Sauce

OK it’s not quite conventional, but what exactly did you expect from us? Sue’s not a fan of flaky fish generally. But we’ve discovered that we are both very keen on Ray Wings. So when they appear with a Yellow Sticker, all is good!

Nobody needs a recipe for flouring and frying fish I hope? Chips? A but the sauce was something else!

Caper Sauce Ingredients:-

2 Spring Onion whites, finely chopped
½ Tsp of Crispy Cuttlefish and Chilli Paste
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tsp of Capers, slightly crushed
Juice of 1 & ½ Lemons
1 Tsp Dried Parsley
1 Tsp Dijon Mustard
Butter
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Gently fry the Spring Onions in Butter until translucent.
(2) Add the Garlic and fry gently for a couple more minutes.
(3) Reserve a little Butter and add the remaining ingredients except the Parsley.
(4) Simmer over a low heat for a couple of minutes.
(5) Stir in the remaining Butter and Parsley  and drizzle over the fish.

The Crispy Cuttlefish and Chilli Paste was an impulse buy from a Chinese Supermarket at (We seem to recall) £0.99 But it really packs a punch. We will be buying more when needed. But you only need ½ a teaspoon and this jar has lived in the fridge door for months now…...

Battered Stuffed Squid

This was supposed to be another version of “Surf & Turf” but it ended up with the Squid being a cross between Stuffed Squid and battered Calamari. The prepared Squid were 0.64p with a yellow sticker when they should have been over £6 – They had very little chance of staying at the supermarket at that price!

Filling Ingredients:-

40g of Rice, boiled until fluffy, drained and cooled
6 Anchovies
1 Tbsp of Capers, drained
6 Sliced of Chorizo, chopped

Batter Ingredients:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Cornflour
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Hot Chilli Powder
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Once the Rice is cool mix all the filling ingredients in a bowl
(2) Remove the ‘Head’ from the body and stuff the filling into the cavity.
(3) Shove the ‘Head’ part in with the ‘Legs’ hanging out.
(4) Mix the batter ingredients in a bowl.
(5) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(6) Dredge the stuff Squid in a little Flour.
(7) Dunk in the batter to evenly coat.
(7) Fry individually until the batter is golden brown.
(8) Drain on kitchen paper.

As always the small plate is for Smooh the Cat! She’s certainly extended her taste pallet over the last 9 months with us…….
