I found this recipe for Tuna in ” Lobster & Chips” by Trish Hilferty, one of my go to fish cookbooks. She inherited it from Tom Norrington Davis and they both worked at the renowned Eagle in London. You need to use really fesh tuna and waxy potatoes such as Charlotte. The tuna could be replaced with swordfish or other robust meaty fish. The tuna will be medium rare which is the best way to eat it, but if you prefer cook it for a little longer.
A spicy, creamy, comforting soup from Egypt which I found in ” Med” by Claudia Roden. If you like you can serve with a caramalised onion garnish. Instructions for this are at the end of the recipe.
A recipe from ” The Hidden Hut” by Simon Stallard. Its good to make this in winter in the UK when crabs are usually both cheaper to buy and richer in the brown meat which makes this dish rich and flavoursome. Two whole crabs will give you about the right amount of crabmeat for this dish.
This salad is served in many ways in Israel- perhaps alongside an omelette for breakfast, on flatbread with a lamb shawarma or as a main course in its own right scattered with crumbled white cheese. There are dozens of versions- this is from ” Cherish” by Anne Shooter.
An easy chicken recipe from Hawaii which i found in ” Cook Simple ” by Diana Henry. Serve this with rice and stir fried greens, or in warmer weather a mixed salad. The second Marinade is for a Spanish Catalan chicken, cooked in the same way but good with roast potatoes and a green salad.
