Vieiras A La Gallega - Scallops In Mustard-Olive Sauce

1 teaspoon olive oil

4 large sea scallops

1 teaspoon minced garlic

5 green olives stuffed, chopped

1 teaspoon small capers, drained

1 teaspoon dijon-style mustard

1 cup whipping cream

1 teaspoon unsalted butter

1 1/2 teaspoon seasoned fresh bread crumbs

Cook's notes: Green olives stuffed with anchovies are available at stores

that specialize in imported foods, Cost Plus.

Preliminaries: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Procedure: Heat olive oil in

medium skillet. Add garlic and scallops and cook on medium heat for 5

minutes. Add chopped olives (and anchovies if using them separately),

capers, mustard, cream and butter. Cook over medium heat for 8 to10

minutesor until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. Spoon scallops into

scallop shells or onto small ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with bread

crumbs andbake in a preheated 350-degree oven until top is nicely browned,

about 2 to3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

White Clam Sauce

1/4 cup olive oil

10 oz whole baby clams

2 garlic cloves,minced

1/3 cup dry white wine

4 teaspoon all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

16 oz minced clams

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoon chopped parsley

Drain and reserve juice in the cans of minced and whole baby clams. In

medium saucepan heat oil. Add garlic & saute for 2 min. Stir in flour. Add

reserved clam juices, wine, red pepper flakes and salt. Bring to boil &

simmer for 10 min. Add minced clams, baby clams and parsley. Return to

boil, then keep warm while preparing linguine. When linguine is done, pour

sauce over top and toss gently and serve. I forget how many this will

serve. Probably at least 4.

Whole Salmon With Dill Sauce

1 whole salmon (about 6 lb)

2 quart court bouillon

2 cup cumbers

2 lemons

1 pint sour cream

1 cup mayonnaise

1/3 cup grated onion

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

1 salt and pepper to taste

----~For decoration: ~For the dil--

POACH THE SALMON: To time the poaching, measure the fish and allow 10

minutes for each inch of thickness; begin timing when the liquid starts to

simmer. To check for doneness, insert a metal skewer into the thick flesh

behind the gill. It should slide in easily. A six-pound salmon needs

eithera fish poacher or a roasting pan fitted with a rack at the bottom for

easy fish lifting. I use a roaster. It usually means the fish has been

curved tofit in, and the benefit of this is that it retains this jaunty

pose once cooked so it fits more easily onto a platter. Chill it

carefully, then unwrap it, and gently pull off the skin. If the fat

underneath the skin is gray, scrape it away with a knife to reveal the

orange flesh. Cut down the center of the fish to the backbone, and then

ease one half of the fillet from the bones. Gently pull off the flesh,

then remove the backbone and replace the fish. This way it is easier to

serve at a buffet. Peel and halve the cucumbers. Scrape out the seeds,

and then thinly slice them. Arrange cucumber on top of the salmon in a

pattern resembling fish scales. Slice a lemon, and arrange around the fish.

Chill well. For the sauce, combine the sour cream with the mayonnaise,

and whisk until smooth. Add theonion, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper.

Serves 10 to 12, or more if there are other entrees. Note: The fish can

be cooked up to a day in advance and refrigerated, tightly covered.

The sauce can be made up to two days in advance and refrigerated.

heat to boil; add fish and cabbage when liquid boils; cover pan. Fish and

cabbage are cooked in about 3 to 5 minutes - cabbage leaves will be

bright lime green.

Ladle fish, cabbage and beancurd into warm

shallow serving bowl; add soup. Garnish with cooked oil, minced scallion

Anchovy-Grilled Salmon Steaks

4 salmon steaks

incorporated this classic vegetable into their cuisine. The

Vietnamese word for asparagus is "Western bamboo," due to its

resemblance to bamboo shoots. asparagus is universally popular

throughout Vietnam, this light, tasty dish will delight your family

as well.

Bring water to a boil and put the pork bones in. Remove the scum,

then cover and continue to boil the bones for 1 hour. Remove the

bones from the stock and discard. Add the salt and the fish sauce to

the stock.

Heat the oil and add the chopped garlic and shallots; add the crab

meat and fry for 5 minutes over high heat. Sprinkle with 1/8

teaspoon of black pepper, stirring constantly, then add the crab meat

mixture to the soup and bring to a boil. Add the

cornstarch-and-water mixture and stir for a few minutes.

Break the egg open and drop it into the actively boiling soup while

stirring. Cook, still stirring, for about 2 minutes, then drop in the

asparagus, along with the liquid from the can and the rest of the

black pepper. Continue to cook until the asparagus is heated through.

Sprinkle the coriander and scallion green over the soup before

serving.

Baked Trout With Yoghurt & Herbs

6 6-8 oz trouts

7 1/2 fl oz greek strained yoghurt

2 1/2 fl oz whipping cream

2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley

2 tablespoon chopped chives

2 tablespoon chopped fennel

1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme

1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano

1 teaspoon fresh chopped tarragon

1 clarified or unsalted butter

Choose a baking dish or other shallow oven-proof dish suitable for

bringing to table, which is just large enough to take the trout in a

single layer when they are arranged head to tail. Thoroughly dry the

fish with plenty of kitchen paper. Make a frying pan very hot,

barely smear it with fat and fry the fish briefly, one or two at a

time, just long enough to brown their skins well on both sides.

Transfer the fish to the ovenproof dish, arranging them neatly. Cover

and store in a cool place.

Chop the herbs and mix them gently in a small saucepan. Measure the

yoghurt and cream and pour them over the herbs. Add plenty of pepper

and some salt and stir to mix well. Cover and leave to infuse.

Everything up to this stage can be done in advance, but be sure to

bring both the pan of sauce and the dish of trout back to room

temperature about 1 hour before they are to be put back into the oven

for cooking. (Foods that are transferred straight from the fridge to

cooker take a very long time to heat through properly.)

About 1/2 hour before you plan to serve the trout, bring the

yoghurt-and- herb mixture very slowly to simmering point, stirring

all the while. Pour the aromatic mixture over the fish, cover the

dish and bake at 350 F (180 C) gas mark 4 for 20-25 minutes until the

fish are piping hot and cooked through. (To check a trout for

readiness, insert the tip of a knife into its flesh just behind the

head.) Serve with steamed new potatoes and other young summer

vegetables such as carrots and peas.

Baked Tuna Pie

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup enriched corn meal - (aunt jemima o; r quaker)

3/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/3 cup vegetable shortening or- margarine

1/4 cup cold water

10 oz frozen chopped broccoli - thawed

13 oz evaporated milk

1 can tuna (6-1/2 or 7-oz. size) - drain; e, d, flaked

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon dillweed

Heat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, corn meal and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, 1

tablespoon at a time, stirring lightly with fork until mixture forms

a ball. On lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to form 12-inch

circle. Fit loosely into 9-inch glass pie plate; trim. Turn edges

under; flute.

Place broccoli between layers of paper towels. Pat gently to absorb

excess water. Combine broccoli, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and

remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour mixture into pastry shell. Bake

50 to 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges, if

desired.

Blackened Redfish

6 each 8-10oz redfish fillets

3/4 lb unsalted butter, melted

----SEASONING MIX----

1 tablespoon sweet paprika

2 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

3/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

NOTE: Fish fillets (preferably redfish, pompano or

tilefish) cut about 1/2 inch thick. Redfish and

pompano are ideal for this method of cooking. If

tilefish is used, you may have to split the fillets in

half horizontally to have proper thickness. If you

can't get any of these fish, salmon steaks or red

snapper fillets can be substituted. In any case, the

fillets or steaks must not be more than 3/4 inch thick.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat

until it is beyond the smoking stage and you see white

ash in the skillet bottom (the skillet cannot be too

hot for this dish), at least 10 minutes. (FT - this

recipe is *NOT* for the faint of heart) Meanwhile,

pour 2 Tablespoons melted butter in each of 6 small

ramekins; set aside and keep warm. Reserve the

remaining butter in its skillet. Heat the serving

plates in a 250F oven. Thoroughly combine the

seasoning mix ingredients in a small bowl. Dip each

fillet in the reserved melted butter so that both

sides are well coated; then sprinkle seasoning mix

generously and evenly on both sides of the fillets,

patting by hand. Place in the hot skillet and pour 1

teaspoon melted butter on top of each fillet (be

careful, as the butter may flame up). Cook,

uncovered, over the same high heat until the underside

looks charred, about 2 minutes (the time will vary

according to the fillet's thickness and the heat of

the skillet). Turn the fish over and again pour 1

teaspoon butter on top; cook until fish is done, about

2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fillets. Serve

each fillet while piping hot.

To serve, place one fillet and a ramekin of butter

on each heated serving plate.

I had this in K Pauls Restaurant in New Orleans. It

is a taste experience you will never forgive yourself

for missing should you ever be lucky enough to find

yourself in N'awlins and you don't go to K Paul's and

dish. From Chef Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen,

stir, and chill for 2 hours before serving.

Quantities on the spices are left to you.

Btw, if you have never tried cream cheese and chopped olive

sandwiches, let me recommend them. Soften a package of cream cheese,

add small can chopped olives and a teaspoon or so of lemon juice.

Stir well and spread. Gutsy eaters add turkey.

tail. Scrape away any brown flesh, leaving head and tail intact. Drain

liquid from the foil, and using the foil as a guide, invert the fish onto a

platter. Remove foil and skin and prepare the other side of the salmon in

the same manner. Chillthe fish, covered, overnight. Peel turnip and cut

into thin slices. Trim each slice to ressemble a flower or cut with a

flower cutter. Place in a bowl of ice water to hold until ready for use.

1 cup dry white wine

1 shallot, minced

1 cup whipping cream

8 oz unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

----GARNISH----

1 chopped tomato

1 cilantro sprigs

1. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large skillet; cook red and green

peppers in the oil until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from skillet

with a slotted spoon. Cool.

2. Mix crab meat, eggs, cooked peppers and 2 tablespoons of the bread

crumbs in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Using wet hands,

shape crab mixture into 8 equal-size cakes. Place on a wax

paper-lined plate and chill up to several hours.

3. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Coat crab cakes in bread crumbs on all

sides. Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large, ovenproof skillet. Add

crab cakes in a single layer. Cook until nicely browned on bottom,

about 2 minutes. Carefully turn cakes over and then place in oven.

Bake until golden on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, for sauce, boil wine with shallot in a medium

non-reactive saucepan until reduced to 1/3 cup. Stir in cream and

boil until reduced by about half. Working over very low heat, whisk

in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce is light and

thick. Do not allow sauce to boil at any time or it will separate.

Strain sauce through a fine wire mesh strainer into a warm bowl. Stir

in cilantro, salt and pepper. Keep warm by covering tightly with

plastic wrap and then placing bowl in a pan of warm water.

5. To serve, pour a few tablespoons of the sauce onto a warm serving

plate. Top with a crab cake. Garnish with chopped tomato and cilantro

sprig. Serve immediately.

Crab Casserole In A Clay Pot

1 1/2 lb fresh whole crab, preferably live

2 tablespoon peanut oil

5 unpeeled garlic cloves, crushed

2 unpeeled fresh ginger slices, 1/4 i; nch thick

3 whole scallions, cut into 2-inch pi; eces

3 tablespoon fermented black beans

2 fresh red chili peppers, seeded and; shredded

3 tablespoon rice wine

2 tablespoon light soy sauce

1/2 cup rich chicken stock

Well here it is, in all its glory. I've included Hom's method for

making stock both because it's good and to give more of a feel for

the book. Honk Kong is an extremely, almost excessively dynamic city

and this is reflected in the food. The book is interesting because

he has a finger on the development of the "new" Hong Kong cuisine and

notes traditional recipes from which the ones in the book spring.

BTW, Michael++my roommate++and I were talking about this dish last

night as we were munching up a plain old steamed Dungeness crab. He

said he *really* liked this recipe. I found it too heavy on the black

beans and spices. Here it is. You be da judge... ;-}

Here is an interesting, innovative technique employed by Hong Kong

chefs. The clay pot traditionally is used for the long simmering and

braising of foods; nowadays, however it is as often used to infused

intense flavors over high heat in a short length of time, as in this

recipe. the classic Cantonese dish is given a new twist; the fresh

crab is stir-fired with aromatic seasonings and then quickly finished

over high heat in the covered clay pot. The pungent black beans

permeate the rich crab meat, enhancing it and adding to its subtle

flavors. This delicious casserole is quite easy to prepare and turns

an ordinary dinner into a special occasion.

If you are using a live crab, prepare it according to the technique

on page 77. [Rinse, scrub and steam for ten minutes. S.C.] Cut the

body into quarters and lightly crack the claws and legs.

Heat a wok or large skillet until it is hot and add the oil. Add the

garlic, ginger, and scallions and stir-fry to flavor the oil. Then

add the black beans, chilies, and crab. Stir-fry for2 minutes and add

the chicken stock. Turn the contents of the wok into a clay pot or

casserole, cover, and cook over high heat for 5 more minutes or until

the crab shell turns bright red. Serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.

Crab-A-Leekie Crepes

----LEMON CREPES----

3 eggs

1 teaspoon sugar [optional]

2 egg yolks

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh

1 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil

3/4 cup milk

2 teaspoon lemon rind, grated

1 cup all-purpose flour

----FILLING----

1 lb crab or imitation crab

1 cup dry curd cottage cheese

1 small leek, thinly sliced

1/2 small tomato, finely diced

1 small lime - juice only

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon seafood seasoning

----WHITE WINE SAUCE----

3 tablespoon butter

3 tablespoon flour

1/2 cup chicken stock

1/2 cup sour cream, or heavy cream

1/2 cup white wine

1 salt & white pepper

Ingredient note: Imitation crab, has several commercial names but

generally consists of processed pollack with natural and imitation

flavouring. It is processed so as to resemble crab meat - a white

mean with a red exterior. This product is less expensive than natural

crab and makes an excellent substitute.

Lemon Crepes: Combine eggs, egg yolks, and lemon juice. Beat the

mixture to thoroughly combine ingredients and incorporate air into

the mixture. Add the milk and whisk again.

Sift flour, salt, sugar [if using]together in a separate bowl then

gradually incorporate into egg mixture. Add vegetable oil and blend

thoroughly. Batter should be very smooth and creamy. Do not allow

lumps to form [don't strained out lumps - they should be passed

through a sieve so as to break them down.)

Add grated lemon rind and allow the mixture to rest for one hour. If

mixture thickens during this period, 1-2 Tb of milk may be added. It

is important that the crepes do not become pancakes.

Use a large hot crepe pan [or lg round frying pan]. Add vegetable oil

to pan and swirl to coat. Gently pour in only sufficient batter to

coat the whole surface of the pan swirling to get a thin and even

coating. The crepe should be turned when the top is set and the

bottom is lightly browned. Only cook the other side until the desired

colour is achieved. Remove and set aside to cool.

Filling: Chop the crab, or imitation crab, into bite size chunks and

place in large mixing bowl. Thinly slice the white of 1 small leek.

Slicing should produce thin rounds. Press out the rounds so as to

separate the slice into small rings. Add to mixing bowl along with a

finely dice half of a small tomato.

To the mixture, add approx. 1 c of dry-curd cottage cheese, the

balsamic vinegar and the juice of one small lime. Add seasonings.

[The seafood seasoning is a commercial preparation available at most

stores.] Combine all ingredients in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap

and allow to stand in fridge for up to 2 hrs.

Remove from fridge and toss lightly. Scoop out sufficient filling to

fill the centre of each crepe. Do not overfill. Roll the crepes up

into packages and place in a microwave dish, seam side down. Allow to

stand while making sauce.

Sauce: In top of double-boiler, over medium-high heat, melt butter

and add the flour. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Add

liquids. Whisk while simmering gently; until mixture is the desired

consistency. Reduce heat.

Microwave the stuffed crepes. Time will vary according to quantity.

For eight filled crepes allow approx. 6 minutes. Heat until very warm

throughout. Adjust time if necessary according to microwave

capability.

Allow one crepe per person for entree, two crepes per person if

serving with a garden salad, or three per person in serving alone

with sauce. Pour a generous amount of the hot sauce over the top just

before serving.

Foot-note: the quantity of leek, the balsamic vinegar and the lime

juice should not be eliminated from this recipe [at least not without

trial]. The combination of textures between the crepe, the seafood

and the barely cooked leek are a treat. The subtle flavour variations

created by the short marination of the filling ingredients in the

juice and the vinegar, are quite delightful and work well with this

sauce.

Crawfish Yvonne

1 1/2 cup roux: peanut-butter colored

1 lb butter

4 medium onions -- chopped fine

3 medium bell peppers -- chopped

1 fine

3 celery ribs -- chopped fine

3 lb crawfish tails -- peeled

3 oz crawfish fat

5 cup water

1 tablespoon salt

2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon white pepper

1 teaspoon black pepper

5 drop tabasco sauce -- (5 to 6)

1 cup green onions -- chopped

1 cup parsley -- chopped

3 cup rice -- cooked

In a heavy 6-8 quart pot, melt the butter over high heat. Add the

onions, bell peppers and celery and cook, stirring often, until the

vegetables are very soft, 30-45 minutes. While the vegetables are

cooking, place the crawfish tails in a large bowl and add the water.

Agitate thoroughly with your hands to rinse the crawfish and to

separate any remaining fat from them. Pick out any veins or other

debris. Drain the crawfish, reserving the liquid, and place the tails

in a separate bowl. Lower the heat under the vegetable mixture and

add the roux, salt, peppers and Tabasco sauce. Cook over medium heat,

stirring constantly, until the roux is completely blended in, 3-4

minutes. Stir in the crawfish fat and let the mixture simmer 4-5

minutes more, stirring frequently. If the oil begins to separate out,

just stir it back in until the mixture is smooth. Pour in the

crawfish liquid and bring to a heavy simmer. Cook for 10 minutes,

stirring often to keep the oil from separating. You can prepare ahead

to this point, returning the mixture to a simmer when you are ready

to proceed. Add the crawfish tails and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in

the green onions and parsley and simmer for 1 minute more. Serve over

cooked rice. Festival: New Orleans Wine & Food Experience; June

Discard any dead crayfish in the sack. Wash crayfish in clean, cool water

just before cooking. They do not need to be purged with salt during

washing. Place the live crayfish in boiling water and boil for 10

minutes. (Season the water with one pound of salt per five gallons of

water. Add other seasoning to taste, including cayenne, garlic, onions,

lemons, lemon juice and crab boil.) Don't begin timing cooking until

watterreturns to a buil after adding crayfish. It's usual to add potatoes

and corn on the cob to the boil. Crayfish are easiest to peel when still

warm.

Deep-Fried Crab Balls With Vinegar Dip

1/2 lb fresh cooked crab meat

2 oz pork fat from loin

6 peeled water chestnuts

1 scallion

2 eggs

2 tablespoon dry sherry

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon minced ginger root

2 cup deep-frying oil

1 vinegar dip:

2 tablespoon black chinjiang vinegar

1 tablespoon yellow rice vinegar

2 teaspoon thin soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon sugar

You can serve this dish hot or cold. We prefer the crab balls hot,

when their exterior is crisp and the meat hot and moist. They also go

better with the vinegar dip when hot. If you prefer to serve them

cold or at room temperature, delete the dip, or substitute something

like mustard and catsup.

Preparation: If you're using food processor, crab and pork fat should

be cold. Cut pork fat into cubes. Trim and cut scallion into 1"

sections, including greens. Using steel blade, place water chestnuts

and scallion in bowl; pulse/start to chop vegetables. Add crab meat

and pork fat; pulse/start to mince. Add eggs, sherry, salt, cornstarch

and minced ginger. Pulse/start 3 or 4 times to blend. Don't

overdo it; you don't want a puree.

Deep-frying: In wok or deep-fryer, heat oil until bubbles form around

a bamboo chopstick held upright in oil. Using teaspoon, form small

ball of crab mixture. Test cooking temperature; it should brown and

cook through in about 5 minutes; adjust heat if necessary. Proceed

with deep-frying about 6 balls at a time; avoid crowding them. Drain

on bamboo strainer or towel. If you can't serve them immediately,

refry briefly to crisp skin. Avoid overcooking.

Vinegar dip: Mix ingredients in a shallow bowl; place on serving

platter and surround with crab balls.

Denjang Jiege Keh (Spiced Crab Soup)

2 cup water

2 tablespoon denjang paste

1 soft bean curd; in 1/2 cube

1 teaspoon hot red chili powder; mix with 1 tb water

1 slice ginger; size of a quarter

1 small onion; sliced (1/3 cup)

1 garlic clove; crushed

2 crabs; each in 4 pieces

1/2 cup zucchini; sliced

"The people of Kwangju where this recipe originates like their food

salty and chili-hot. The fermented denjang paste provides the basis

of the seasonings, aided by the chili and ginger. The fresh crabs

absorb the flavors and the entire soup is enormously attractive. I

went to my teacher's house one August in the middle of a three day

pre-typhoon downpour. Sheets of water poured out of the sky as my

taxi wended its way to the edge of town. The rice fields in this

rice-growing region shimmered with an intense green as the rain

engulfed the paddy. It had a wild, wet beauty but I was glad when I

arrived and could concentrate in comfort on the crabs and the soup."

1. Put the water and bean paste (denjang) into a pan and simmer over

low heat, covered, for 10 minutes. Add the bean curd and cook for 5

minutes more.

2. Now add all the other ingredients and cook for 15 minutes more.

Serve in 4 individual bowls with rice and an assortment of side

dishes.

Dried Kingfish

1 stephen ceideburg

1 kingfish, 1 to 1-1/2lb

Snagged an excellent new Thai cookbook yesterday. It's

"The Elegant Taste of Thailand, Cha Am Cuisine" by Sisamon Kongpan and

Pinyo Srisawat. SLG Books, Berkeley and Hong Kong, 1989. ISBN

0-943389-05-4.

This is a big, well-illustrated-with-color=photos book. Mike hauled

it home yesterday with another one, "Keo's Thai Cuisine". (Being no

dummy, he realizes that new cookbooks inspire me to cook so every so

often he'll grab something for me to avoid having to cook himself.)

But it wasn't that simple... He'd bought them both, but intended to

keep one and send one on as a thank-you gift to a fellow that took

him and Laurie sailing a couple of weeks ago.

"You get to choose one to keep."

The dreaded words...

I paled, started to shake. Sweat beaded my brow. I grabbed the

fanciest one--the hard bound "Keo's" book--and paged through it, awed

by the illustrations, impressed by the recipes. Then I grabbed

"Elegant Taste" and started on the first page, intending to skip

through it. Instead I went through the entire book, page by page,

from start to finish. I slammed it shut.

"This one."

"Elegant Taste" explains Thai ingredients (and gives both the Thai

names and spells them out using the Thai alphabet), makes sensible

recommendations for substitutions and has relatively simple but very

good and authentic looking recipes, each of which is illustrated by a

beautiful color photo. This can be really helpful when one is cooking

a new dish and isn't sure of what it should look like and what

garnishes to use. Garnishes are particularly important in Thai

cooking as they're meant to be eaten with the dish but often are not

referred to in the recipe. For instance, in the following recipe the

dish is presented on a platter with a half dozen or so scallion

brushes and tomato slices, neither of which are referred to in the

recipe.

As for this recipe, some of you might remember a while back when I was

raving about a dried, fried fish dish I'd had in a Thai place, but

couldn't find in a cookbook. It was in "Elegant Taste" and here it is.

Wash, clean and butterfly the fish leaving the two sides joined along

the belly. Open the fish out flat so that the skin is downward,

remove the bones, and score the flesh with a knife.

After allowing it to dry, lay the fish opened out flat in strong

sunshine for five to six hours, turning regularly so the sun strikes

both the skin side and the interior.

Pour the oil into a deep frying pan and place on medium heat. When

the oil is hot, place the fish, still opened out, in the oil. When

the lower side becomes crisp and golden, turn the fish and continue

frying until it is done on both sides; then, remove from the pan,

drain, place on a serving dish.

Toss the shallots, mango and chilli together, seasoning with fish

sauce, lime juice and palm sugar so that a sour taste is the

predominant one. Spoon into a bowl and serve with the fish.

Serves two to three.

Kongpan and Pinyo Srisawat. SLG Books, Berkeley and Hong Kong, 1989.

This dish is very savoury with a crunchy/chewy texture. The version I

had in the restaurant still had bones but was so well fried that I

just munched up the bones and all.

Incidentally, I'm going to buy the "Keo's" book as well. It looks

quite good too but seems to be tailored more toward Western kitchens.

For instance, it calls for brown sugar rather than palm sugar in most

recipes. Now that's a perfectly adequate substitution, but why bother

when I have palm sugar on hand? (Smug grin.)

8 minutes, stirring often. Stir in 1 tablespoon of

the burgundy and remove from heat. In a small bowl

mix the butter and remaining 1 tablespoon flour until

creamy. Return sauce to low heat; gradually add the

butter mixture to the sauce, whisking until well

blended each time. Return sauce to a simmer and

simmer 10 minutes, stirring often. Add the remaining

1 tablespoon burgundy. Remove from heat and discard

bay leaf. Serve immediately.

NOTES:

* Fish in a hot garlic/pecan sauce -- The Cajun Cafe in

Portland Oregon serves a sauce whose recipe they got under license from

K-Paul's in New Orleans. They devoutly refused to answer all of my

questions about the sauce or its ingredients, so I've tried to formulate

it on my own, at home.This stuff doesn't taste exactly like what the

restaurant serves, but it's delicious in its own right. Maybe it's best to

title the recipe "fish withsomething not entirely unlike hot fanny sauce."

This sauce is best served with a moderately

strong fish: I would recommendsturgeon, swordfish, or tuna.

* If you are cooking more pieces of fish

than will fit in the skillet at once, make the sauce ahead, put it aside

(keep warm) and add it before cooking each piece of fish.

* Serve with a simple rice or pasta

dish. I use saffron rice with snow peas, or linguine with shrimp meat

and pesto.

Fresh Halibut Baked With Smoked Salmon

1/8 lb kippered salmon (soft-smoked) cut; in 1/4

2 tablespoon lemon juice

4 tablespoon sherry

2 lb halibut steak, 1 thick

4 oz butter

2 tablespoon coarsely chopped walnuts (optional; )

1 pepper

Melt butter in skillet over medium flame; when very hot but not

smoking, brown steaks quickly, 2 minutes on each side; add lemon

juice and sherry; season with pepper to taste; heat 1 minute only;

remove from heat. Place halibut in shallow glass dish; pour pan

juices over; garnish with nuts and smoked salmon. Bake at 350 for 10

minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.

Fresh Salmon Pate

1 1/2 lb boned and skinned salmon

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground white pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground mace or nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground bay leaves

1/2 lb butter

1 fresh lemon juice

1 chopped parsley or chives for decor; ation

Check that as many bones as possible really have been removed, then

put the salmon into a large saucepan of cold water with a pinch of

salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Bring it to the boil, then turn the heat down and poach gently for 10

to 15 minutes - one large piece of salmon will take longer than a

couple of smaller pieces.

Turn off the heat and allow to cool in the water for another 10

minutes. If the skin is still on, you will find it lifts away

effortlessly at this point.

Put the salmon into a big bowl and mash it with a fork, or use a food

processor. gently melt the butter in a saucepan and add to it all the

other seasonings - the ground bayleaves, white pepper, cloves, mace

or nutmeg and the salt. Stir thoroughly and pour it into the salmon.

If you are using a food processor, give it another quick whizz,

otherwise stir with a fork until it is thoroughly amalgamated.

If you want to serve the salmon pate in slices, spoon the mixture

into a loaf shaped container lined with cling film, otherwise put it

into a round bowl of souffle dish.

Smooth the top and sprinkle with a little parsley or chives for a

lovely contrasting colour, and chill in the fridge for at least four

hours.

Serve with lots of crusty french bread.
