Scallops with pea purée

Scallops with pea purée

Did you know that scallops can jump and swim? They swim by quickly opening and closing their shells, propelling themselves forward. That is why their shells are thin and lightweight when compared to oysters. They are the cleanest shellfish available because they do not filter water like clams and mussels. That is probably why their meat is so sweetly delicate and match perfectly with peas! This is such a quick an easy recipe – perfection in simplicity really! There is plenty of pea purée so fry up some fish and enjoy!

Beetroot and tequila cured salmon

Beetroot and tequila cured salmon

Curing salmon is a Nordic dish using a mix of salt, sugar and dill to cure the fish. This version is done with tequila, beetroot and spices giving it a sweet, licorice-like flavour that lends an earthy, sweet taste to the meaty salmon. The wholegrain mustard in the horsey-goat provides a pleasant pop between your teeth! That, added to the crunch of the cucumber ribbons and the saltiness of the capers and the sweet-earthiness of the salmon makes this a party in your mouth! Warning: this dish takes 12-24 hours to make, so don’t think you’re going to serve it immediately. It’s worth the wait, though!
