Posted by Claudia Moser on 7:06 PM in , , , ,


Ingredients

• 2 naan breads
• 1 fresh red chilli
• ½ a cucumber
• 1 lemon
• 4 tablespoons natural yoghurt
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• a few sprigs of fresh coriander
• 2 x 200g salmon fillets, skin on,scaled and bones removed
• 1 heaped tablespoon Patak’s tandoori curry paste
• olive oil


Directions

• Preheat your oven to 110°C/225°F/gas ¼
• Pop your naan breads into the oven to warm through
• Halve, deseed and finely chop your chilli
• Peel and halve your cucumber lengthways, then use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds
• Roughly chop the cucumber and put most of it into a bowl
• Halve your lemon and squeeze the juice from one half into the bowl
• Add the yoghurt, a pinch of salt and pepper and half the chopped chilli
• Pick the coriander leaves and put to one side
• Slice each salmon fillet across lengthways into three 1.5cm wide slices
• Spoon the heaped tablespoon of tandoori paste into a small dish, then use a pastry brush or the back of a spoon to smear the tandoori paste all over each piece (don’t dip your pastry brush into the jar!)
• Heat a large frying pan over a high heat
• Once hot, add a lug of olive oil, put the salmon into the pan and cook for about 1½ minutes on each side, until cooked through
• Place a warmed naan bread on each plate
• Top each one with a good dollop of cucumber yoghurt and 3 pieces of salmon
• Scatter over a little of the reserved cucumber, chilli and coriander leaves and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice

A recipe from Jamie of course :)

Tasty Tuesday - Salmon pasta

Posted by Claudia Moser on 9:00 AM in , ,
One of our favourite meals at home, very fast and so yummy. What you need?

300gr pasta (for two) - you could use penne, fusili or whatever you think would be nice!
200 gr salmon (you can either use fresh one or smoked)
some 12 cherry tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic
1 chili
1 glass of white wine
a bit of cream parmigiana
olive oil
salt
pepper

Add the garlic in the hot oil, then small pieces of salmon, the chili and let it cook for a while. Then add the halves of the cherry tomatoes, the wine and simmer. At the end the cream joins the mixture. Boil your pasta of choice then add the sauce and the parmigiana and then? Simply enjoy the pasta with a nice glass of white wine.

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
