Chef's Column
Olivia Casson, our executive head chef, has put together a couple of
'felicini inspired' dishes for you to try at home!
Char Grilled Swordfish with Chunky Gazpacho Salsa & Lemon Oil
Ingredients - serves 4
- 4 x sword fish steaks - skinless, boneless
- 2 pinches of salt / 2 pinches of black pepper
- 2/4 tables spoons vegetable oil
- 100ml lemon infused olive oil
- 1/2 cucumber - sliced, deseeded and cut into cubes
- 1 x red & 1x yellow pepper - halved, deseeded and cut into squares
- 4 x medium tomatoes - cut into cubes
- 1 x shallot - peeled and finely sliced
- 8 x torn basil leaves
- 1 x sprig of tarragon leaves
- 2/3 splashes of Tabasco
- 2 x lemon wedges
Method
- To make the salsa put the red and yellow peppers, tomato, shallots,
basil, tarragon leaves and Tabasco into a bowl, mix together and season to
taste
- Add the lemon oil, a little at a time, to bind the ingredients. Only
use as much as you like
- Season the swordfish and brush generously with vegetable oil. Get your
griddle pan smoking, place the fish on it and leave them to cook for 4
minutes. Turn the fish over and cook for another 2 minutes (depending on the
thickness)
- Squeeze over the lemon juice and re season if necessary. Spoon the
salsa over half the fish and serve
The dish is great with wild rocket or a new potato salad
Oven Baked Figs Wrapped in Prosciutto with Goat's Cheese & Lavender Honey
Ingredients - serves 4
- 8 slices of prosciutto ham
- 8 figs, scored across the top
- 8 spoons of soft goat's cheese
- 8 spoons of lavender honey
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 4 spoons of olive oil
Method
- Heat the oven to about 180/200c
- Wrap the ham around the figs and spoon over the cheese
- Season the figs, drizzle with olive oil, spoon over the honey and then
place on a baking tray
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until hot - the honey must be caramelised and
the cheese softened
- Serve 2 per portion as a starter and remember to drizzle over any
remaining caramelised honey!!
For a more decadent option, the dish is also the ideal accompaniment to a duck main course.
