A recipe for lightly seared Tuna from Turkey which i found in Claudia Roden’s ” Arabesque”. Serve with a salad or Mashed Potatoes with Olive Oil and Spring Onions.
This recipe from Diana Henry makes a delicious vegetarian or vegan supper for 2, or will feed more if served as a side vegetable. I like to serve it with a fried egg, or some burrata cheese to accompany, but these are optional.
I recently visited the north of Italy where i returned to the same restaurant in Stresa on Lake Maggiore three times . Their seasonal special, home made sausages with chestnuts and polenta, was so tasty I had it twice. I haven’t been able to find a recipe for that dish, but this dish from ” Rick Stein’s Food Heroes” is a good second best. If you cannot get hold of Luganega sausages in your local Italian deli then any Italian sausages flavoured with garlic and fennel will do.
If you are somewhere in the world where you can still get fresh white crab meat at an affordable price this is a favourite from Rick Stein’s ” Seafood Odyssey”.
This is from ” A Celebration of Soup” by Lindsay Bareham(1993), A great recipe for late summer when you may have a glut of courgettes (if you grow your own) or they are cheap in the shops.
