Little man’s lazy Friday supper. Boxed Kraft Dinner & fruit/veg
Crispy skin pan-seared salmon, on a bed of butter beans, tomato lemon and garlic, with local wild caught tiger prawns and local seared scallops. ( Trigger Warning: delicious)
That looks phenomenal. Salmon is perfect.
Omg those scallops! Did you cook in cast iron? Mine never turn out so beautiful. Tell me your secret! That meal is worthy of me licking my phone screen
CAN I COME LIVE WITH YOU POR FAVOR AMIGO!
(yes dammit this is a complete sentence)
Gotta have bread though. If not just to get that sauce
Scallops are not done in cast iron, but it is a heavy base old pan i have that handles even high heat well.
I dry the scallops well and then put in fridge uncovered for about an hour to let them dry further. I toss them in a little oil just to coat, then pop one at a time in a very hot pan.
I think of the pan as a clock face and put them in one by one, starting at the 12 position and going clockwise on outside then inside.
I give them 1 minute (for these thinner ones) before taking out in the same order I put them in - they all get the same cook time this way.
I only cook one side - i don’t flip them. They are so tender and wonderful, with that concentrated scallop flavour in the crust.
Serve cooked side facing up.
If you have any of the caramelised scallop juice on the pan then deglaze it with a touch of water and add this to any sauce you may have. That stuff is so amazingly flavourful.
Fantastic! Thank you
Give me a drum roll roll @Olivia
Started with Oysters from Bahston (Boston MA)
And for the main I got the Cajun Shrimp & Grits
With bacon collard greens.
It was a very nice evening out.
Very nice, fancy
Whoop whoop!!! Looks really nice! I hope the taste was good too, along with ambience and company
(Btw, that plate would have been the death of me, I’m allergic to crayfish, ugh.)
Grazing plates? You’re clearly having a party
What a spread! Looks delicious
Fridge/produce clean out. Ground beef, macaroni, tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms & onions, pasta sauce, cheese… and a side romaine salad
Yes. 78th, my dads. I’m so excited to see him, he’s been nearly a year in hospital so quite a big feat to be out for the day and get to see our new house. He’s been wanting to see it but has been to sick.Lots of food and booze free.
that salad looks amazing
Looks delicious, bon apetit! What is the red food in the front of the front platter?
