food, oh food.

Just a collection of food that i made over the months....


Jamie's chargrilled tuna with oregano oil, beans and peas.
No i'm not obsessed with Jamie, but i bought one of his many cook book years ago, and i thought i should start to 'use' it, instead of letting it rot on my bookshelf. Again, this is what i like about Jamie Oliver because everything is so easy to make, and quick, but you have to make sure you have fresh tuna, and don't let it over cooked, or make sure the fish monger cut the right size, and most importantly not too thick.


Summer tagliarini with pine nuts, lemon, pecorino and parmesan cheese
One of Jamie's too. I'm a fan of pine nuts, and thought this might be a good alternative to my home made pesto, but i was rather dissapointed with it, mainly due to i don't like Pecorino cheese, but i do like the chopped parshley and the lemony flavour and thought it was quite refreshing, i'm thinking to make a version with only Parmesan and not Pecorino, will keep you posted about the result.


Recipe from Mum with my own improvisation
I was walking in town one day, and suddenly have this cravings for prawns, so i walked into my expensive local fish monger and bought 450g of prawns(only 10 to be specified), and paid 20 euros for them. Very expensive.....and kind of regret when i walked out of the shop, but decided is worth it once in a while.
So, easy and quick: chopped up some garlic(2-3 cloves for 5 of my BIG/ENORMOUS prawns), and slice up ginger and sauteed together until fragrant, add light and dark soy sauce, wine and sugar last. Done, and i garnish with some coriander....(if you have chilli is even better, cut it really small and add it together with ginger and garlic.
