Crayfish with a sparkling wine sauce

Although I love crayfish, I don’t frequently serve it – it does however feature on my menu from time-to-time for special occasions. I usually prefer serving crayfish as a starter.

On this occasion I served crayfish with a sparkling wine sauce. The sparkling wine sauce is delicious and provides that extra sophistication to the crayfish. Prepare half a grayfish per person when serving as a starter and a whole one as a main dish.

This crayfish was cooked on the Weber, but can also be done on any other braai over medium coals. It can also be cooked in the oven at 180⁰C.

Although crayfish is currently on SASSI’s green list, it is under revision in terms of its WWF-SASSI sustainability rating.

So what are you waiting for, light the coals, open a bottle of sparkling wine, use some for the marinade and pour yourself a glass, whilst preparing this delicious meal?

I love summer and since it is weekend, it is also braaitime. Not that we only braai over weekends … My husband would braai every night if I would allow that! We have been cooking a lot on our Weber lately and look out for posts soon on cooking a leg of lamb, pork belly and more on the Weber.

I bought a lot of frozen yellowtails recently at our local Fruit and Veg for R29.99 per kilo! This is a real bargain and since yellowtail is also on SASSI’s green list you can eat this with a clear conscience and with the knowledge that you are not further depleting our endangered fish species.

The first time around I cooked the yellowtail following a recipe for curry fish that is featured in the latest copy of House and Leisure’s food magazine.

After this I cooked the yellowtail with mushrooms, peppercorns and lime and this was also a winner!

New Year’s Food resolution number one was done by me! I have decided to cook more things that I have never tried before. I always thought it was impossible to cook duck successful and that it is only something a professional chef can do! It was surprisingly easy and a wonderful dish that I will cook again and again!

We roasted the duck in the Weber with potatoes in the dripping pan! It was a heavenly meal. For the recipe go to PinkPolkaDotFood!

Most of the regular visitors to my blog, know that all my recipes posted on my blog are food that I have prepared for my family. I mostly cook supper and since the sun is setting so early at the moment in Cape Town, I am really battling to take good quality photos, because there is almost never enough daylight. Please excuse the quality of the photos.

I am also changing from http://pinkpolkadotfood.wordpress.com/ to http://www.pinkpolkadotfood.com/. I will terminate my other blog on 10 July 2012, and I can unfortunately not keep my subscribers, so please subscribe at my new blog, if you still want to get updates on my posts.

Norwegian salmon is another type of fish that I really enjoy. I don’t buy it often because it is on SASSI’s orange list and it is also quite expensive. Last weekend I could not resist and bought some.

Once home, hubs insisted that he wanted to do it on the braai, so we agreed to cook it on the Weber on indirect heat. To see how to prepare an indirect fire on the Weber, please visit ilovemyweber. The fish can also be cooked in a pre-heated 180º oven.

The salmon was first marinated.

Rack of lamb with lemon and garlic

Meat is very expensive at the moment. You can easily pay R129.99/kg for lamb chops or steak. Even mince costs approximately R70/kg. It is far more affordable to buy meat in bulk, if you have freezing capacity. Our local Checkers recently sold lamb at R49.99/kg and I am already sorry that I did not buy two lambs.

I will however never buy pre-cut lamb since I prefer my lamb to be cut in specific cuts as follows:

The leg of lamb – both whole (with the shanks removed);

All 4 shanks whole (not sliced into knuckles);

The rib whole with the flap attached;

2 whole racks;

1 whole shoulder;

the neck, sliced and

the rest sliced into chops.

This illustration from www.supermarket.com shows it well:

I crave citrus fruit at the moment. As you will see in recent posts, Mushroom and lemon risotto and Aubergine and bocconcini salad, lemon are my favourite ingredient at the moment, after ~~salt~~, ~~onions~~, ~~olive oil~~, ~~butter~~, ~~basil~~….. Ok I can not make up my mind!

This lambrack was cooked on the Weber, using the indirect method, but it can also be done in an oven pre-heated to 160ºC. To see how to prepare the Weber for indirect heat please go to Ilovemyweber.
