Fish and shellfish gain a high importance to my diet only recently. The starting point was as always Weight Watchers that push and reward people when eating them, but I had to find new ways of cooking them because as a Mediterranean girl, and more precisely a Greek girl, fish was grilled in the oven with a bit of lemon and oregano (with the exemption of salmon)! So I started looking at French recipes but there was a lot of butter in them and this was not possible for me, it was even unthinkable. And then a miracle happened, I visited a couple of years ago a region in France call the Sud-Ouest (South-West), and I discovered a lot of new different kind of fish and new ways to cook it. Since then, I prefer to eat fish and shellfish whenever I can :)
Baby cuttlefish with onions and red wine (soupies krassates)
These baby cuttlefish are cooked into red wine and have a tomato sauce as well as candied onions! It’s really good and the secret is the use of peppercorns which brings sweetness to the dish and the use of allspice which brings its special character! It’s really good and you should not miss the opportunity to make it!
Red Mullets with Thyme
These red mullets are simply wonderful just with a little bit of olive oil and some thyme and they are ready to go! It’s true there is a lot of thyme in this recipe but it goes very well with the red mullets and it’s easy to make and very quick! So why aren’t you making them yet?
Salad with pasta, tuna, rosemary and red peppers
This a fine pasta salad that is very easy to make and quick! You only need to cook the pasta and then add the tuna, the onion and the red peppers along with a vinaigrette with rosemary that dresses the salad in a wonderful manner!
Salmon with lemon juice and wasabi
This salmon is simply amazing! So moist and tasteful! The sauce is made with a little bit of wasabi, lemon and Worcester sauce! It’s simple but delicious! It’s a recipe coming from the Great British Chef Gordon Ramsay! Enjoy!
