Hi all and welcome back to the fortnightly favourites newsletter where we keep you informed as to what's happening out there for the following fortnight and give you recipes to get the taste buds tingling.

Saratoga Fresh fruit as always, is offering a fortnightly discount but this time, with a twist.
They have just introduced a new range of fresh, fresh, seafood and the discount that they are offering to the readers this fortnight is:

What a great offer and sure to please the die hard seafood lovers out there (like me).

So now that you know what the special of the fortnight is, guess what the fortnightly recipes are based on?
Yes, you guessed it. Prawns and oysters!

Once again this fortnight we wish to say thank you to all the new businesses that have been prepared to offer a discount or a value add to all the my Local Card holders.

Oysters with Champagne Sauce

Casanova once said oysters are "a spur to the spirits and to love" - which is why you'll swoon when you taste this decadent starter.

Preparation Time

5 - 10 minutes

Cooking Time

15 minutes

Ingredients (serves 2)

• 125ml (1/2 cup) champagne or sparkling white wine
• 1 French shallot (eschalot), finely chopped
• 125ml (1/2 cup) thickened cream
• Freshly ground white pepper
• Rock salt, to serve
• 12 (1 dozen) natural oysters (such as Sydney rock oysters), in the half shell
• Chopped fresh chives, to serve

Method

1. Place the champagne and shallot in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until reduced by half. Add the cream and season with white pepper. Simmer for 3-4 minutes or until reduced by half and the sauce is thick and creamy.

2. Preheat grill on high. Scatter rock salt over the base of 2 small heatproof serving dishes. Arrange the oysters on the rock salt. Pour the cream mixture evenly among the oysters. Cook under grill for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Set aside for 2 minutes to cool slightly. Sprinkle with chives to serve.

Notes

• Start this recipe 15 minutes before serving.

Hearty Miso soup with prawns and eggplant

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 2.5L miso soup, made with white miso paste* prepared to packet instructions
• 4 baby eggplants, thickly sliced
• 20 cooked prawns, peeled, deveined, tails intact
• 3 cups baby Asian greens*

Method

1. Bring the prepared miso soup to the boil in a large saucepan. When boiling, reduce the heat to medium and add the eggplant. Cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the prawns and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.

2. Remove from the heat and stir in the Asian greens.

3. To serve, divide the soup, vegetables and prawns among bowls.

Notes

• * White (shiro) miso paste is available from Asian food shops and selected supermarkets. Mixed baby Asian greens are available from selected supermarkets and greengrocers.

Prawns with chilli mayo and pistacchio dukkah

Dukkah adds a Middle Eastern flavour to a traditional Aussie dish of prawns served with a lip-smacking tangy lime and chilli mayo.

Preparation Time

15 minutes

Cooking Time

5 minutes

Ingredients (serves 8)

• 40g (1/4 cup) pistachio kernels
• 40g (1/4 cup) sesame seeds
• 1 tbs coriander seeds
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 750g peeled cooked prawns, tails intact
• Lemon wedges, to serve

• Chilli mayo

• 250g (1 cup) good-quality whole egg mayonnaise
• 2 tbs fresh lime juice
• 1 small fresh red chilli, halved, deseeded, finely chopped

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the pistachios on a baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Place in a clean tea towel and rub to remove the skins. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Meanwhile, stir the sesame seeds, coriander seeds and cumin seeds in a frying pan over medium heat for 3 minutes or until aromatic. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Place the pistachios and sesame seeds mixture in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

4. To make the chilli mayo, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice and chilli in a small bowl.

5. Arrange the prawns on a serving platter. Serve with the chilli mayo, dukkah and lemon wedges.

Notes

• Time plan tip: Prepare this recipe to the end of step 4 up to 1 day ahead. Store the dukkah in an airtight container at room temperature. Store the mayonnaise in an airtight container in the fridge. Continue from step 5 just before serving.

• Picnic tip: Place the dukkah in an airtight container in your picnic basket. Transport the chilli mayo, prawns and lemon in your esky.

We hope that you have enjoyed this newsletter and we look forward to bringing you another next fortnight.
Until then, stay safe and happy and Bon Appetit!
