Seafood Linguine Pasta

Seafood Linguine Pasta

We had a remaining pack of King Prawns in the freezer, so we decided on another Seafood dish.

Ingredients:-

Linguine Pasta (Gluten free for us)
3 Tbsp of Olive Oil
4 Gloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Capers, chopped
½ Tsp of Chilli flakes
200g of King Prawns
500g Octopus
125 Ml of White Wine
1 ½ Tbsp of Tomato Puree
6 Anchovies
6 Cherry Tomatoes, halved
A squeeze of Lemon juice
Salt & Pepper

Batter Ingredients:-

2 Eggs
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Soda Water
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Turmeric

Method for the Pasta & Sauce:-

(1) Roll up your sleeves. It’s Octopus dressing time. Basically cut the tentacles from the head. Cut the attaching membranes so you can turn the body inside out and remove it. You don’t want the innards or the hard beak, but everything else is good.
(2) Reserve four of the legs to batter later. See below.
(3) Boil the Pasta until it is almost cooked. Drain and set aside. If you are using Gluten free be very careful to remove it quite early as the hot sauce tends to effect Gluten free pasta adversely.
(4) Infuse the Garlic in the Oil for a few minutes over a medium heat.
(5) Add the Anchovies, Capers and Chilli Flakes and simmer for a few more minutes making sure that the Anchovies have broken down.
(6) Add the Prawns and Octopus and fry on a high heat for 30 seconds.
(7) Add the Wine, Tomato Puree and season with Salt & Pepper.
(8) Stir until the sauce has thickened and turn the heat down to simmer.
(9) Ad the Pasta and gently combine.
(10) Add the halved Tomatoes.
(11) Serve dressed with a squeeze of lemon and garnish with the battered Octopus, Lemon wedges and fresh Parsley.

Method for the battered Octopus Legs:-

(1) Heat a fryer to 170c.
(2) Mix the batter ingredients to form a smooth reasonably thick batter.
(3) Separate the individual legs and dip in the batter.
(3) Fry until they pop up and the batter is crispy.
(4) Remove and drain over kitchen paper.

The Octopus was a bit on the chewy side to be fair and the Gluten free Linguine didn’t hold too well with the sauce stirred through it. But everything tasted great.

A sort of Carbonara thing, eat well on universal credit

We’re avoiding Lactose at the moment as it’s causing Sue issues. So this recipe is far from traditional. But it was really tasty.

Ingredients:-

475g of Inner Breast fillets, cut in half
1 Small Onion,diced
3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
200ml of Chicken Stock
3 Tbsp of Yogurt
5 Mushrooms, sliced
A handfull of Spinach Leaves
A dish of White Wine
Salt & Pepper
2 Tbsp of Italian style Crated Hard Cheese
Fresh Parsley to garnish
Bacon & Cheese seasoning to garnish
Pasta of your choice (Gluten free for us)
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onion and Garlic until softened.
(2) Add the Chicken and fry until it is cooked through, stirring as required.
(3) Add the Mushrooms and Spinach, season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Boil the Pasta until it still has a little bite, drain and set aside.
(5) Add the Wine & Stock and allow to simmer.
(6) Stir in the Yogurt and half of the grated hard Cheese.
(7) Allow to simmer for a few more minutes.
(8) Stir in the Pasta over a low heat, until it is heated through.
(9) Garnish with the remaining grated hard Cheese, Parsley and Cheese & Bacon Seasoning.

We generally make our own seasoning mixes but the Cheese & Bacon seasoning was really good. The taste of Bacon in a jar!
