A favourite recipe from ” Simple Food” by Jill Dupleix. Really its a posh salad Niciose by another name, but she suggests variations using chicken, beans and tomato or aspagagus, avocado and ham.

Tuna with Sicilian Potato Salad (4)
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.
Wild Salmon with Jersey Royals and Watercress (4)
An early summer favourite from ” Lobster and Chips” by Trish Hilferty. The first wild salmon usually becomes available in early June, briefly overlapping with the time of year when smaller Jersey Royals are still available. Sea Trout or organic salmon can be used as an alternative, but I urge you not to use farmed salmon.

A delicious recipe for a family meal from ” The Weekend Cook” by Angela Hartnett. If you like you can add some diced potatoes to the roasting tin 40 minutes before the end of the cooking time, letting them roast in the lamb fat and juices. You could make a ratatouille to serve alongside, or cauliflower cheese or a simple fresh green salad.
