RECIPE COLLECTION FROM DELICIOUS. ON SUNDAYS
SERVES: 4
WHAT'S IN IT?
500g small kipfler potatoes, scrubbed
750g medium calamari, cleaned, cut into 5mm-thick rings, tentacles, halved
1 lemon, halved
1 tbs olive oil
200g truss cherry tomatoes
1 bunch rocket, trimmed
SALSA VERDE
2 cups mixed herbs (we used parsley, basil and mint), plus extra to serve
½ cup (125ml) olive oil
1 tbs baby capers, drained
1 tbs red wine vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 garlic cloves, crushed
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
1. Place potatoes in a saucepan of salted water, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain, cool and halve or cut into thick slices.
2. For salsa verde, whizz all the ingredients in a food processor until finely chopped, then season.
3. Combine 2 tbs salsa verde with calamari in a bowl and leave to marinate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine potato with half the remaining salsa verde.
4. Heat a barbecue or grill pan to high. Brush cut sides of lemon with ½ tsp olive oil and cook cut-side down for 3 minutes until charred. Brush remaining oil all over tomatoes, season and grill for 3 minutes, turning once, until skin starts to blister. Grill calamari for 2-3 minutes until lightly charred and just cooked through.
5. Arrange potato and rocket on a platter. Top with calamari and tomatoes, scatter with extra herbs and serve with remaining salsa verde and charred lemon.

SEAFOOD?
Moules Marinière. From my travels through France, to my MasterChef days. Here is the secret to my immunity winning recipe…
Clam Pasta - Spaghetti Alle Vongole - Delicious; whatever you want to call it, this dish is a big time hit and one you can whip out and whip up quick quick 🐚
Tequila Kingfish Ceviche, inspired by the memories of travel through Central America (c. 2009)
This dish screams summer. It pops with flavour and freshness that you want on a warm summer day cooking on the BBQ (or in this case the outdoor teppanyaki plate!). Prawns work perfectly here but you could mix it up with large chunks or white fish, squid, baby octopus or even crab or bugs!
My love for fried rice is never ending and the love for Leftover Fried Rice is high on the fried rice list! I love that time of the week where I have a bucket load of rice leftover and then a whole heap over other bits and pieces that will come together perfectly in the wok!
Rich, tasty, packed full of flavour and easy as to make, this Baked Fish dish is so so good, and even better that it is a one pan wonder and can be made for one or made for a 100!
Fish, Pea & Herb Orzo - for those days when it is still hot outside but you feel like something, cosy, comforting and all cooked in one pan! Creamy orzo, zesty fish, it’s bright, balanced and absolute perfection.
