Gös i senapskaprisgrädde
söndag 25 oktober 2020
Vilken tur att vi äntligen fick ut näten i går ... för i dag belönades vi med 2 gösar och lite abborrar. Ingenting slår färsk fisk till middag! Hälften av abborrfiléerna fick bli en ceviche, som nu står i kylen med chili, citronsaft, salt, vitlök och lök fram till kvällen. Resten av abborrfiléerna stekte jag i brynt smör och gjorde en smörsalviasås till. Gudomligt gott! Gösrätten jag gjorde, som blev en riktig höjdare, får du recept på här nedan.
Ingredienser:
4 gösfiléer, helst med skinn
salt och peppar
smör till stekning
Såsen:
2-3 dl grädde (jag tog havregrädde)
1-2 msk Dijonsenap
1-2 msk vanlig god senap
kapris och tunna citronskivor
Krydda fisken lätt. Stek filéerna gyllenbruna i smöret, först skinnsidan tills skinnet är knaprigt. Ta upp filéerna och håll dem varma. Strö lite flingsalt över.
Koka ihop grädde och senap och smaka av. Lägg till kapris enligt smak och tycke.
Servera fisken med såsen och citronskivor att pressa över och extra kapris vid sidan om.
Kokt potatis och rosenkål är gott till. Vilken brakmiddag!
My version of "fried green tomatoes"
torsdag 22 oktober 2020
Ingredients (light lunch 2-3 persons):
5 medium-sized green tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 dl all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 dl crushed small pretzels/salted crackers/wasabi nuts/salted peanuts
2-3 eggs, beaten
butter/oil for frying
1. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper (and other dry spices that you want to use). Place the crushed pretzels/crackers/nuts in another bowl. Beat the eggs slightly in a third bowl.
2. Melt the butter (or oil) in a large pan over medium heat. Dip each tomato slice first in the beaten egg, then in the flour mixture. Dip the floured tomato slice once more in the egg and then into the crushed pretzels/crackers/nuts.
3. Place the coated tomato slices in the hot pan and fry until golden brown on each side. It takes about 3-5 minutes/side. Add more butter/oil to the pan if necessary. SERVE IMMEDIATELY, THE TOMATOES DON'T TASTE AS DELICIOUS LATER WHEN COLD.
Note: I coated half the batch in crumbs made of salted peanuts and wasabi nuts and the other half in salted pretzel crumbs. They were both delicious, but as we like spicy I must admit that the wasabi-peanut version was the winning concept, both texture- and tastewise.

Halloumi, courgette and herb cakes (Gordon Ramsay)
torsdag 1 oktober 2020
I have lost count of the immense amount of squash/zucchini/courgette recipes that have come my way and been put to the test ... and this one belongs to the top three. It's really easy to make if you have the opportunity to use a food processor to grate the halloumi, squash and carrot. Of course you can grate the ingredients by hand but then it takes more time. The result is the same, provided that you don't grate your fingertips. The patties were easy to fry because of the short rest in the fridge. A winning concept if you like halloumi as much as I do!
Ingredients for 8 large or 16 small patties:
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 courgette/zucchini/squash, grated (I took a middle-sized one)
500 g halloumi cheese, grated (this sounded a lot, so I only used 400 g, which was enough)
2-4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves
2 free-range eggs, lightly beaten
2-4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
olive oil, for frying
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
