ITALIAN SEAFOOD ONE POT:
Here's a super blend of Mediterranean seafood that our ancestors made in just one pot. We can do it the same way today, which still means lots of flavor and little cleanup!
Serves: 8
Cooking Time: 20 min
What You'll Need:
•3 tablespoons olive oil
•3/4 to 1 pound fresh or frozen skinless whiting, cod or haddock fillets, thawed if frozen, cut into 2-inch pieces
•1/2 cup dry white wine
•1 (12 ounce) bag frozen okra
•2 large tomatoes, chopped
•1 cup chopped onion
•1 large clove garlic, chopped
•1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1 pound cooked shrimp
•1 pound cleaned fresh mussels
•2 (6- ounce) cans chopped clams with juice
What To Do:
1.In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add fish pieces and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add wine, okra, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley, salt, and shrimp.
2.Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Add mussels and chopped clams with their juice. Cook an additional 4 minutes, or just until mussels open. Do not overcook mussels. Discard any mussels that do not open by themselves.
Notes
Make sure you have a loaf of crusty bread for dunking. You wouldn't want to waste any of the sauce!
PASTO'S GRILLED SARDINES / SARDINHA ASSADA: [Added by prebelo]
The cornerstone of Portuguese coastal lifestyle. The smell of sardines grilling outdoors flavours any recollections of walks trough Bairro Alto in Lisbon, Ribeira in Porto or a small town on the coast of Alentejo. This is one of those incredibly simple dishes which can very easily go wrong. The two main elements are the sardines themselves and the “assador” the person who grills them. In restaurants specialising in grilled fish this is a specific person, different from the chef. The traditional season for Sardines in Portugal is July during the religious festivals. Sardines feature in everything from large banquets to fast food stalls where you eat one on a piece of bread while standing and drinking a glass of wine or sangria. Sardines for grilling need to be absolutely fresh, medium size and pre-salted for at least 30 minutes.
INGREDIENTS:
FRESH SARDINES
Lots of course sea salt
Method
1. Salt the sardines generously with sea salt and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Sardines for grilling are not gutted. In the meantime get the charcoal going.
2. Place the sardines on a griddle and put on the bbq as low down as possible. Sardines is a fatty fish and as fat drops into the charcoal, unwanted flame appears. Putting the griddle directly on the charcoal avoids this (you need to make sure the charcoal isn’t too hot though). Through water over the charcoal if flames emerge (remove sardines first though!)
3. Grill roughly 5 minutes on each side. Sardines should have a nice char-grilled finish but not be overcooked. You can always try one on a piece of bread as you go!
4. Serve with grilled pepper salad and good bread.

SPICY ONE-BITE GRILLED SHRIMPS:
These are spicy little shrimp appetizers I found in a magazine a couple years ago and I've made them several times to rave reviews.
It's as easy as threading red onion, spicy Chorizo sausage and jumbo shrimp on a small skewer, season lightly, grill and enjoy.
This is also one of my favorite chorizo sausage recipes, actually it's my only one.
Chorizo sausage and shrimp sound like an odd combination but once you try these spicy little guys you'll be hooked.
These make easy party appetizers for a crowd or just a nice stand alone spicy appetizer for those lazy Sunday afternoons.

VALENTINE SUSHI: [SPAR RECIPES]
Prep Time: 65 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
If you lack confidence to prepare Sushi yourself, try an easier deconstructed version, presented here as a Valentine starter. It is bound to get your special meal off to a good start.
INGREDIENTS: [SERVES 2]
•125 ml Sushi rice (uncooked measure)
•15 ml sugar
•30 ml rice vinegar
•½ Nori/seaweed sheet
• SPAR wasabi paste
•2 SPAR Norwegian smoked salmon slices, thawed
•Optional: bottled pickled ginger
HERE'S HOW:
1.Soak, drain and rinse, then boil the rice in a small pot according to the on-pack instructions.
2.Heat the sugar and rice vinegar together and set aside.
3.Cover the cooked rice with a dish towel and pot lid and set aside for 20 minutes.
4.Turn the rice into a shallow bowl and gradually add in the cooled vinegar mix, using a spatula with a slicing action to cut it into the rice and assist cooling and separate the grains.
5.Place a heart-shaped cookie cutter on a side-plate and spoon the rice into this, pressing it in firmly to take the cutter shape. Lift away the cutter from the rice and repeat this process for as many hearts as you require.
6.Cut the nori into several +- 2 cm width x 6-8 cm long strips. Place a doubled-over length of salmon over each of these strips, and firmly roll each of them up from one short side to the other, like a Swiss-roll.
7.Arrange two or more rolls alongside each heart, with a squeeze of Wasabi paste and slivers of pickled ginger.
8.Cover with plastic film, and chill until ready to serve.
HINTS AND TIPS:
•Do not refrigerate the rice before moulding it, or it will be too sticky and difficult to handle. Use the rice immediately after mixing in the vinegar to the cooling rice.
•Being an unconstructed version of Sushi, chopsticks are not easy to use. Rather choose dainty cocktail forks or teaspoons.
•If you really want to prepare this recipe, but don’t have immediate access to all the Japanese culinary ingredients, improvise with over-cooked plain white rice (Sushi rice) white wine vinegar (rice vinegar), horseradish sauce (Wasabi), blanched spinach leaves (nori).
•Use up the remaining salmon soon and do not re-freeze.
•For other times of the year, use alternative but appropriate cookie cutter shapes eg star, bell or heart.
MY WENK:
Net vir interessantheid, 'n mens kry nou volledige Sushi stelletjies te koop, asook klaargekookte Sushirys. Om Sushi te maak word nou al hoe makliker en dis heerlik om dit saam met die gesin te maak, elkeen help met 'n proses. Ek vrek oor Sushi.

10 MINUTE SHRIMPS:

Serves: 2
Cooking Time: 10 min
INGREDIENTS:
•1kg shrimp, shelled and deveined
•1/8 cup olive oil or less
•1 big clove garlic, chopped
•Salt and pepper
•½ box whole wheat pasta
WHAT TO DO:
1.Before making sauce, start the pasta boiling. Once it starts,heat oil and garlic over low heat. Try to keep it from browning excessively.
2.When the pasta is almost al dente, throw shrimp into pan with oil, and turn heat up. Stir often. When cooked, add salt and pepper. Toss drained pasta with the sauce in the pan and serve.

HOTTENTOTS FISH OVER THE COALS: [CAPE COOK]
INGREDIENTS:
Hottentots Fish
Salt
Pepper
½ lemon per fish
Fresh lemons to serve.
WHAT TO DO:
Salt and pepper the fish to taste, do this when you start the fire, I like to salt my fish some time before I braai it. Just before you braai the fish, brush the skin with olive oil, or spray your grid with non-stick spray.
Once the coals are ready, put the fish in a basket type grid, with the flesh side facing down in the basket part, the skin facing the “lid” part of the grid.
Put the fish over the coals with the flesh side facing the coals, braai it until the colour of the flesh changes slightly, turn it to the skin side and braai for a couple of minutes until the skin starts firming up. Press the juice of a ½ lemon over each fish (the flesh side should be facing up now) I do turn the fish a couple of times while braaing it, but I braai it mostly on the skin side, the skin have a lot of natural oil in it, and it protects the flesh from drying out.
Do not overcook the fish, If you are not sure what a cooked fish look like, take a knife and insert it in the thickest part of the fish (from the flesh side) pull a segment of the flesh away and see what the colour looks like. If it is all white (not sort of transparent) the fish is cooked, remove it immediately, and serve it immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
What to drink with Hottentots fish? Hopefully it was a nice fat one you just braaied, if that was the case, try a unwooded chardonnay, or a lighter style cooled pinotage, but that is just a suggestion, drink what you enjoy, as the saying goes “The best wine, is the one in your glass”.
HARDERS IN VINE LEAVES: [CAPE COOK]
INGREDIENTS:
6 fat harders, de-scaled and gutted
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
Vine leaves in brine
Salt
Black pepper
WHAT TO DO:
Rinse the vine leaves in fresh water. Salt and pepper the fish inside and outside and pour the lemon juice over the fish. Wrap the fish in the vine leaves, so that only their heads and tails are visible.
Put the fish in a basket type grid and braai over moderate coals, the leaves will dry out because of the heat of the coals, but the flesh of the fish will stay nice and moist. Turn the fish a couple of times, depending on the heat of your coals it will take between 10 and 15 minutes for the fish to cook.
Now add some wood to the fire, pour yourself another glass of Signal Gun Sauvignon Blanc, sit back and enjoy.
Bon appetite!

‘n VINNIGE VARS FOREL: [TROUT] [WAT KOOK JY - deur griffin]
Vis moenie een vaan daai intimidating disse wees om gaar te maak nie, veral nie vars vis nie. Dis eintlik maklik, veral as dit by varswater forel (trout) kom. Ons het hierdie outjie vir die eerste keer ooit probeer en hy’t hemels lekker uitgekom..
BENODIG:
‘n vriend met ‘n visstok wat kan visvang
‘n forel wat bogenoemde vriend gevang het
botter
rooi peper
thyme
sout
foelie
suurlemoen of ‘n lime
sout
swart peper
MAAK DAN SO:
Hopelik het jou tjommie wat die vis gevang het reeds die binnegoed uitgehaal, andersins moet jy dit self doen. Kap die vis se kop en stert af en gooi dit weg. Andersins kan jy dit in ‘n klein potjie kook en deur ‘n sif uitgooi en die ekstrak oor jou Rottweilers se pellets gooi vir aandete.
Sny ‘n hele paar blokkies botter op, plaas die vis op ‘n vel foelie en pak die botter eweredig uit in die vis se pens.
Strooi so bietjie swart peper en sout oor dit uit en squeeze ‘n halwe suurlemoen uit bo-oor dit Jy moes eintlik die oond aangesit het om te pre-heat op 180. Doen dit ook gou.
Vou die vis toe en sit nog so paar blokkies botter op die buitekant ook.
Looi hom met so bietjie rooi peper na smaak en sprinkel thyme ook oor.
Draai jou vissie nou soos ‘n babatjie toe in die foelie en druk hom in die oond vir 15 minute
Niemand like vis wat droog is nie, so moet hom nie vir langer as 15 minute in die oond los nie.
Sondra jy jy hom uithaal en los vir so 5 minute, sal hy nog verder gaarder stoom in sy eie juices.
Die vis se ruggraat kan nou ook maklik met een smooth move uitgetrek word.
Tand dit saam met rys, of eet hom op ‘n stukkie toast of twee.
Een trout behoort 4 mense te voer, andersins een ongeskikte vraat. Try hom en laat ons weet. Onthou om sout by te gooi ook. Eerder aan die einde op elke porsie as aan die begin.

BUTTERFLIED CHILLI PRAWNS: [Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman]
Serves 6 as part of a fish buffet.
This is the best way to prepare prawns in my book!
INGREDIENTS:
16-20 large black tiger prawns (± 1 kg)
Ina Paarman's Chilli and Garlic Seasoning
olive oil
1 lime or lemon
kebab sticks
WHAT TO DO:
If frozen, leave the prawns in a sink half filled with cold tap water until beginning to thaw. Separate from each other and remove the heads. Cut through the hard shell, along the backs, with a pair of kitchen scissors and then slice each prawn almost completely through the flesh, with a sharp knife, to butterfly them open. Remove the black vein and rinse in clean water.
Skewer the prawns on wooden kebab sticks to keep them flat, as illustrated. Season each prawn on both sides and brush generously with olive oil. Leave covered in the fridge with an ice brick on top until ready to cook.
Prepare a hot griddle pan or braai fire and cook the prawns, meaty side down, until well marked. Turn over and cook on the shell side for 3 minutes. Squeeze lime or lemon juice over and serve with a chilli and garlic dipping sauce if desired.
CHILLI AND GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE:
½ red chilli, finely sliced
1 T (15 ml) lime or lemon juice
1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman's Chilli and Garlic Seasoning
¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
2-3 cloves of crushed garlic
Place all the ingredients into a screw-top jar and shake vigorously. Leave to stand for at least 15 minutes for the flavours to develop. Shake again and pour a little into individual dipping bowls for each guest. The sauce will keep in the fridge for a week.
CHEF'S TIP :
Sosatie Sticks are sturdy wooden sticks best suited to larger cuts.
Kebab Sticks are made out of bamboo and are thinner and more fragile than sosatie sticks. Best suited to smaller portions such as prawns and cubes of fish.
Both can be made less flammable by soaking them in warm water for 20-30 minutes, before use.
CAJUN STYLE CALAMARIE STEAK STRIPS IN TORTILLA CONES: [ INA PAARMAN RECIPES]
Serves 6
It is best to buy the pre-tenderized frozen calamari steaks. Thaw them out covered with a little buttermilk or plain yoghurt - this assists in further tenderizing and whitening the calamari.
6 frozen calamari steaks (about 150-200g each)
CAJUN MIX:
2 t (10ml) Ina Paarman's Chilli and Garlic Seasoning
2 t (10ml) Ina Paarman's Garlic and Herb Seasoning
2 t (10ml) flour
olive oil
2 limes or lemons
6 soft flour tortillas (cut in half)
1 punnet rocket leaves
WHAT TO DO:
Defrost the steaks as suggested above and pat them dry with paper towels. Mix the two Seasonings and flour together. Rub it into the steaks. Brush steaks generously with olive oil.
Cook for about 5 minutes on each side on a very hot griddle pan or braai grid until well marked on both sides. Place on a wooden chopping board and with a very sharp knife, slice the steaks into ½ cm wide strips. Squeeze a little lime or lemon juice over. Warm the tortillas according to packet instructions. Roll tortilla halves into cone shapes and stuff with rocket and strips of cooked calamari. Serve with lime wedges.
INA CHEF'S TIP:
Instead of tortillas use pancakes cut in half, or stuff into halved pita breads.
CRAYFISH AND SALMON STEAKS OVER THE COALS: [INA PAARMAN RECIPES]
Serves 4 as part of a fish buffet
With the exorbitant price of crayfish, one almost feels guilty to indulge in this delicacy. All the more reason to make sure you use the best possible preparation and cooking techniques. Keeping it simple is the best policy.
INGREDIENTS:
2 whole crayfish or 4 tails
2-4 salmon steaks
Ina Paarman's Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning
or Chilli & Garlic Seasoning
olive oil
Splitting Crayfish or Lobster:
1.Grip back firmly. Pierce sharply at central point where head meets body. Halve head.
2.Split in half lengthways. Remove the vein. Rinse under cold running water.
WHAT TO DO:
Season the cut crayfish halves and salmon steaks with the seasoning of your choice. Brush with a generous amount of olive oil.
Prepare a medium/hot fire. Make sure that your braai grid is spotlessly clean. Rub it with the cut side of a raw onion or a little oil to prevent food from sticking to the grid. Place the crayfish, meaty side down, and cook for 3-5 minutes. When nicely marked, turn the tails over and cook on the shell for about 7 minutes. Cook the salmon steaks for the same length of time.
Serve as is - a sauce is really not needed, but pickled Japanese ginger is an excellent accompaniment!
MUSSELS IN FRESH TAMATO SAUCE: [Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman]
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
3 T (45 ml) olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
4 large very ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
2 T (30 ml) Ina Paarman's Tomato Pesto
Ina Paarman's Lemon & Black Pepper seasoning
Pinch of sugar
1 cup (250 ml) boiling water
1 T (15 ml) Ina Paarman's Chicken or Vegetable stock powder
1 kg fresh mussels, scrubbed and bearded or 1 kg of frozen mussels on the half shell
WHAT TO DO:
In a big pan, sautè the onion in the olive oil, when soft add the garlic - sauté for a little longer to develop the flavour. Add tomatoes, tomato pesto, seasoning to taste and a pinch of sugar. Add the water and stock powder. Simmer for 5 minutes only. Add the mussels, cover with a lid and shake the pan back and forth while holding the lid down to cook the mussels evenly. It only takes a few minutes for the mussels to open. Serve immediately (sprinkled with fresh basil). Delicious with French bread to mop up the divine sauce.
PEPPERED SALMON ON THE BRAAI: [ Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman.]
HIERDIE IS BAIE LEKKER HET DIT NOU DIE AAND VIR MY GEMAAK!
Serves 4
I know Norwegian Salmon costs an arm and a leg, but it is so good on the braai and such a healthy choice. See suggestions for alternatives below.
INGREDIENTS:
400-500 g side of Norwegian Salmon, skin on
2 t (10 ml) Ina Paarman's Garlic Pepper Seasoning
olive oil
WHAT TO DO:
Place the salmon on a longish plate. Season it generously with Garlic Pepper Seasoning on the meaty side only. Drizzle olive oil over and spread the oil lightly over the fish with your fingers. Leave for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Place salmon on a medium fire with the meaty side down and the skin side up. Cook until nicely browned.
Carefully flip the fish over using two egg lifters and cook on the skin side - you may get flare-ups as there is a lot of oil in, and just under, the skin. Do not overcook. The flesh must just start to flake when you test it with a fork.
Serve straight away.
VARIATIONS:
Also delicious when basted on the braai with our Lemon Marinade. In the unlikely event of leftovers, outstanding with pasta the next day. Instead of Norwegian Salmon use Cape Salmon, Yellowtail or Salmon Trout.
SEARED YELLOWTAIL - ORIENTAL STYLE: [ Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman]
Serves 6-8
Tuna or salmon are also good to use if yellowtail is not available. The trick is not to overcook the fish so it is still slightly pink inside.
250-300 g yellowtail - select a long thin piece
INGREDIENTS:
Ina Paarman's Fish Spice
2 T (30 ml) canola oil
2 T (30 ml) Wasabi paste
¼ cup (60 ml) lemon thyme leaves
heavy duty foil
50 g salmon or rainbow trout roe
1 punnet salad leaves (best choice is a mixture of rocket, watercress and baby spinach)
1 x 200 ml Ina Paarman's Honey & Soy Coat & Cook Sauce
WHAT TO DO:
Season the fish with Fish Spice and brush with oil. Preheat a ribbed griddle pan until smoky hot and sear the fish on both sides until nicely marked but not cooked through. Remove the fish from the pan and spread all round with wasabi paste. Sprinkle with lemon thyme. When cold wrap in foil and refrigerate overnight to firm.
TO SERVE:
Unwrap the fish and slice on the diagonal with a very sharp knife into 5 cm thick slices.
Divide the salad leaves between the plates. Top with sliced fish, 2 slices per plate. Spoon a little rainbow trout roe on each slice. Cut the tiniest hole in one of the top corners of the Honey & Soy sauce.
Drizzle the sauce generously back and forth over the salads.

CHEESY CRUMBED MUSSELS: [INA PAARMAN RECIPES]
Serves 4
Delicious as a starter or as part of an outdoor fish buffet.
INGREDIENTS:
1kg fresh or 500 g frozen black mussels on the half shell
1 x 200 ml Ina Paarman's Ready to Serve Cheese Sauce

4 cloves of crushed garlic

If using fresh mussels, steam them open in their own juices in a large saucepan with a light fitting lid. Shake the pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Discard any unopened mussels. Remove the top shell-half. No need to steam if using frozen mussels - just thaw. Snip a small hole in the top corner of the Cheese Sauce doypack and squeeze generously over each mussel. Place in a single layer in an oven pan.
Sauté the garlic in the oil for a few seconds and then add the crumbs to the pan, season and toss until lightly coated and just beginning to turn golden.

ITALIAN SEAFOOD ONE POT:
Here's a super blend of Mediterranean seafood that our ancestors made in just one pot. We can do it the same way today, which still means lots of flavor and little cleanup!
Serves: 8
Cooking Time: 20 min
What You'll Need:
•3 tablespoons olive oil
•3/4 to 1 pound fresh or frozen skinless whiting, cod or haddock fillets, thawed if frozen, cut into 2-inch pieces
•1/2 cup dry white wine
•1 (12 ounce) bag frozen okra
•2 large tomatoes, chopped
•1 cup chopped onion
•1 large clove garlic, chopped
•1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1 pound cooked shrimp
•1 pound cleaned fresh mussels
•2 (6- ounce) cans chopped clams with juice
What To Do:
1.In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add fish pieces and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add wine, okra, tomatoes, onions, garlic, parsley, salt, and shrimp.
2.Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Add mussels and chopped clams with their juice. Cook an additional 4 minutes, or just until mussels open. Do not overcook mussels. Discard any mussels that do not open by themselves.
Notes
Make sure you have a loaf of crusty bread for dunking. You wouldn't want to waste any of the sauce!
PASTO'S GRILLED SARDINES / SARDINHA ASSADA: [Added by prebelo]
The cornerstone of Portuguese coastal lifestyle. The smell of sardines grilling outdoors flavours any recollections of walks trough Bairro Alto in Lisbon, Ribeira in Porto or a small town on the coast of Alentejo. This is one of those incredibly simple dishes which can very easily go wrong. The two main elements are the sardines themselves and the “assador” the person who grills them. In restaurants specialising in grilled fish this is a specific person, different from the chef. The traditional season for Sardines in Portugal is July during the religious festivals. Sardines feature in everything from large banquets to fast food stalls where you eat one on a piece of bread while standing and drinking a glass of wine or sangria. Sardines for grilling need to be absolutely fresh, medium size and pre-salted for at least 30 minutes.
INGREDIENTS:
FRESH SARDINES
Lots of course sea salt
Method
1. Salt the sardines generously with sea salt and keep in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Sardines for grilling are not gutted. In the meantime get the charcoal going.
2. Place the sardines on a griddle and put on the bbq as low down as possible. Sardines is a fatty fish and as fat drops into the charcoal, unwanted flame appears. Putting the griddle directly on the charcoal avoids this (you need to make sure the charcoal isn’t too hot though). Through water over the charcoal if flames emerge (remove sardines first though!)
3. Grill roughly 5 minutes on each side. Sardines should have a nice char-grilled finish but not be overcooked. You can always try one on a piece of bread as you go!
4. Serve with grilled pepper salad and good bread.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cook pasta until almost ready.
2. Warm olive oil and Nando`s peri-peri sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
3. Add courgettes and cook for 1 minute.
4. Add prawns and heat through ± 30 seconds.
5. Finally, add dill and season to taste.
6. Drain pasta and add prawn mixture.
7. Toss well and serve immediately.

SPICY ONE-BITE GRILLED SHRIMPS:
These are spicy little shrimp appetizers I found in a magazine a couple years ago and I've made them several times to rave reviews.
It's as easy as threading red onion, spicy Chorizo sausage and jumbo shrimp on a small skewer, season lightly, grill and enjoy.
This is also one of my favorite chorizo sausage recipes, actually it's my only one.
Chorizo sausage and shrimp sound like an odd combination but once you try these spicy little guys you'll be hooked.
These make easy party appetizers for a crowd or just a nice stand alone spicy appetizer for those lazy Sunday afternoons.

STUFFED CALAMARI TUBES with SWEET CHILLI: [FABULOUS FOOD]
INGREDIENTS FOR THE STUFFING:
2 Tbls (15ml) oil
1 Onion
1 tsp (5ml) crushed garlic
1 small red chilli pepper, chopped finely
1 cup rice
1 cup white wine
1 cup vegetable stock
1 Tbls (15ml) tomato paste
1 tin (400g) diced tomato
1 tsp (5ml) mixed dried herbs
Pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp (2.5ml) Turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
INGREDIENTS FOR THE TUBES:
1kg small calamari tubes
Olive oil
60ml sweet chilli sauce
METHOD FOR STUFFING:
- Fry onions in oil until translucent,
- add garlic and chilli
- Stir in rice
- slowly add the white wine, and vegetable stock, stirring gradually from time to time for about 10 minutes.
- add in the rest of the ingredients.
- cook over low heat until the moisture has been absorbed by the rice. (about another 10 minutes)
- allow to cool
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:
- Carefully spoon the rice mixture into the calamari tubes (I find a knife works well for this)
- Close the top of the calamari tube by 'threading'a toothpick through the tube.
- pour over a healthy amount of sweet chilli sauce
- heat some olive in a frying pan
- fry in small batches over a hot pan for a few minutes at a time (about 5 minutes), until the calamari is cooked (no longer translucent)
TIPS:
- Just add the broken tubes and tentacles to the mix, they can get fried up with the rest of the "perfect'tubes.
- Wonderful as a classy finger snack at a braai - done on a flat plate over the coals.

•SPAR Garlic Puree with Ginger
•100ml SPAR Olive Oil
GARNISH WITH:

3.Pan fry defrosted salmon in a very hot skillet brushed with a little olive oil for 2 - 3 minutes on each side for medium rare and a few more minutes for well done.

VALENTINE SUSHI: [SPAR RECIPES]
Prep Time: 65 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
If you lack confidence to prepare Sushi yourself, try an easier deconstructed version, presented here as a Valentine starter. It is bound to get your special meal off to a good start.
INGREDIENTS: [SERVES 2]
•125 ml Sushi rice (uncooked measure)
•15 ml sugar
•30 ml rice vinegar
•½ Nori/seaweed sheet
• SPAR wasabi paste
•2 SPAR Norwegian smoked salmon slices, thawed
•Optional: bottled pickled ginger
HERE'S HOW:
1.Soak, drain and rinse, then boil the rice in a small pot according to the on-pack instructions.
2.Heat the sugar and rice vinegar together and set aside.
3.Cover the cooked rice with a dish towel and pot lid and set aside for 20 minutes.
4.Turn the rice into a shallow bowl and gradually add in the cooled vinegar mix, using a spatula with a slicing action to cut it into the rice and assist cooling and separate the grains.
5.Place a heart-shaped cookie cutter on a side-plate and spoon the rice into this, pressing it in firmly to take the cutter shape. Lift away the cutter from the rice and repeat this process for as many hearts as you require.
6.Cut the nori into several +- 2 cm width x 6-8 cm long strips. Place a doubled-over length of salmon over each of these strips, and firmly roll each of them up from one short side to the other, like a Swiss-roll.
7.Arrange two or more rolls alongside each heart, with a squeeze of Wasabi paste and slivers of pickled ginger.
8.Cover with plastic film, and chill until ready to serve.
HINTS AND TIPS:
•Do not refrigerate the rice before moulding it, or it will be too sticky and difficult to handle. Use the rice immediately after mixing in the vinegar to the cooling rice.
•Being an unconstructed version of Sushi, chopsticks are not easy to use. Rather choose dainty cocktail forks or teaspoons.
•If you really want to prepare this recipe, but don’t have immediate access to all the Japanese culinary ingredients, improvise with over-cooked plain white rice (Sushi rice) white wine vinegar (rice vinegar), horseradish sauce (Wasabi), blanched spinach leaves (nori).
•Use up the remaining salmon soon and do not re-freeze.
•For other times of the year, use alternative but appropriate cookie cutter shapes eg star, bell or heart.

•1/8 cup olive oil or less
•1 big clove garlic, chopped
•Salt and pepper
•½ box whole wheat pasta
WHAT TO DO:
1.Before making sauce, start the pasta boiling. Once it starts,heat oil and garlic over low heat. Try to keep it from browning excessively.
2.When the pasta is almost al dente, throw shrimp into pan with oil, and turn heat up. Stir often. When cooked, add salt and pepper. Toss drained pasta with the sauce in the pan and serve.

HOTTENTOTS FISH OVER THE COALS: [CAPE COOK]
INGREDIENTS:
Hottentots Fish
Salt
Pepper
½ lemon per fish
Fresh lemons to serve.
WHAT TO DO:
Salt and pepper the fish to taste, do this when you start the fire, I like to salt my fish some time before I braai it. Just before you braai the fish, brush the skin with olive oil, or spray your grid with non-stick spray.
Once the coals are ready, put the fish in a basket type grid, with the flesh side facing down in the basket part, the skin facing the “lid” part of the grid.
Put the fish over the coals with the flesh side facing the coals, braai it until the colour of the flesh changes slightly, turn it to the skin side and braai for a couple of minutes until the skin starts firming up. Press the juice of a ½ lemon over each fish (the flesh side should be facing up now) I do turn the fish a couple of times while braaing it, but I braai it mostly on the skin side, the skin have a lot of natural oil in it, and it protects the flesh from drying out.
Do not overcook the fish, If you are not sure what a cooked fish look like, take a knife and insert it in the thickest part of the fish (from the flesh side) pull a segment of the flesh away and see what the colour looks like. If it is all white (not sort of transparent) the fish is cooked, remove it immediately, and serve it immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
What to drink with Hottentots fish? Hopefully it was a nice fat one you just braaied, if that was the case, try a unwooded chardonnay, or a lighter style cooled pinotage, but that is just a suggestion, drink what you enjoy, as the saying goes “The best wine, is the one in your glass”.
HARDERS IN VINE LEAVES: [CAPE COOK]
INGREDIENTS:
6 fat harders, de-scaled and gutted
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
Vine leaves in brine
Salt
Black pepper
WHAT TO DO:
Rinse the vine leaves in fresh water. Salt and pepper the fish inside and outside and pour the lemon juice over the fish. Wrap the fish in the vine leaves, so that only their heads and tails are visible.
Put the fish in a basket type grid and braai over moderate coals, the leaves will dry out because of the heat of the coals, but the flesh of the fish will stay nice and moist. Turn the fish a couple of times, depending on the heat of your coals it will take between 10 and 15 minutes for the fish to cook.
Now add some wood to the fire, pour yourself another glass of Signal Gun Sauvignon Blanc, sit back and enjoy.
Bon appetite!

‘n VINNIGE VARS FOREL: [TROUT] [WAT KOOK JY - deur griffin]
Vis moenie een vaan daai intimidating disse wees om gaar te maak nie, veral nie vars vis nie. Dis eintlik maklik, veral as dit by varswater forel (trout) kom. Ons het hierdie outjie vir die eerste keer ooit probeer en hy’t hemels lekker uitgekom..
BENODIG:
‘n vriend met ‘n visstok wat kan visvang
‘n forel wat bogenoemde vriend gevang het
botter
rooi peper
thyme
sout
foelie
suurlemoen of ‘n lime
sout
swart peper
MAAK DAN SO:
Hopelik het jou tjommie wat die vis gevang het reeds die binnegoed uitgehaal, andersins moet jy dit self doen. Kap die vis se kop en stert af en gooi dit weg. Andersins kan jy dit in ‘n klein potjie kook en deur ‘n sif uitgooi en die ekstrak oor jou Rottweilers se pellets gooi vir aandete.
Sny ‘n hele paar blokkies botter op, plaas die vis op ‘n vel foelie en pak die botter eweredig uit in die vis se pens.
Strooi so bietjie swart peper en sout oor dit uit en squeeze ‘n halwe suurlemoen uit bo-oor dit Jy moes eintlik die oond aangesit het om te pre-heat op 180. Doen dit ook gou.
Vou die vis toe en sit nog so paar blokkies botter op die buitekant ook.
Looi hom met so bietjie rooi peper na smaak en sprinkel thyme ook oor.
Draai jou vissie nou soos ‘n babatjie toe in die foelie en druk hom in die oond vir 15 minute
Niemand like vis wat droog is nie, so moet hom nie vir langer as 15 minute in die oond los nie.
Sondra jy jy hom uithaal en los vir so 5 minute, sal hy nog verder gaarder stoom in sy eie juices.
Die vis se ruggraat kan nou ook maklik met een smooth move uitgetrek word.
Tand dit saam met rys, of eet hom op ‘n stukkie toast of twee.
Een trout behoort 4 mense te voer, andersins een ongeskikte vraat. Try hom en laat ons weet. Onthou om sout by te gooi ook. Eerder aan die einde op elke porsie as aan die begin.

BUTTERFLIED CHILLI PRAWNS: [Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman]
Serves 6 as part of a fish buffet.
This is the best way to prepare prawns in my book!
INGREDIENTS:
16-20 large black tiger prawns (± 1 kg)
Ina Paarman's Chilli and Garlic Seasoning
olive oil
1 lime or lemon
kebab sticks
WHAT TO DO:
If frozen, leave the prawns in a sink half filled with cold tap water until beginning to thaw. Separate from each other and remove the heads. Cut through the hard shell, along the backs, with a pair of kitchen scissors and then slice each prawn almost completely through the flesh, with a sharp knife, to butterfly them open. Remove the black vein and rinse in clean water.
Skewer the prawns on wooden kebab sticks to keep them flat, as illustrated. Season each prawn on both sides and brush generously with olive oil. Leave covered in the fridge with an ice brick on top until ready to cook.
Prepare a hot griddle pan or braai fire and cook the prawns, meaty side down, until well marked. Turn over and cook on the shell side for 3 minutes. Squeeze lime or lemon juice over and serve with a chilli and garlic dipping sauce if desired.
CHILLI AND GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE:
½ red chilli, finely sliced
1 T (15 ml) lime or lemon juice
1 t (5 ml) Ina Paarman's Chilli and Garlic Seasoning
¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil
2-3 cloves of crushed garlic
Place all the ingredients into a screw-top jar and shake vigorously. Leave to stand for at least 15 minutes for the flavours to develop. Shake again and pour a little into individual dipping bowls for each guest. The sauce will keep in the fridge for a week.
CHEF'S TIP :
Sosatie Sticks are sturdy wooden sticks best suited to larger cuts.
Kebab Sticks are made out of bamboo and are thinner and more fragile than sosatie sticks. Best suited to smaller portions such as prawns and cubes of fish.
Both can be made less flammable by soaking them in warm water for 20-30 minutes, before use.
CAJUN STYLE CALAMARIE STEAK STRIPS IN TORTILLA CONES: [ INA PAARMAN RECIPES]
Serves 6
It is best to buy the pre-tenderized frozen calamari steaks. Thaw them out covered with a little buttermilk or plain yoghurt - this assists in further tenderizing and whitening the calamari.
6 frozen calamari steaks (about 150-200g each)
CAJUN MIX:
2 t (10ml) Ina Paarman's Chilli and Garlic Seasoning
2 t (10ml) Ina Paarman's Garlic and Herb Seasoning
2 t (10ml) flour
olive oil
2 limes or lemons
6 soft flour tortillas (cut in half)
1 punnet rocket leaves
WHAT TO DO:
Defrost the steaks as suggested above and pat them dry with paper towels. Mix the two Seasonings and flour together. Rub it into the steaks. Brush steaks generously with olive oil.
Cook for about 5 minutes on each side on a very hot griddle pan or braai grid until well marked on both sides. Place on a wooden chopping board and with a very sharp knife, slice the steaks into ½ cm wide strips. Squeeze a little lime or lemon juice over. Warm the tortillas according to packet instructions. Roll tortilla halves into cone shapes and stuff with rocket and strips of cooked calamari. Serve with lime wedges.
INA CHEF'S TIP:
Instead of tortillas use pancakes cut in half, or stuff into halved pita breads.
CRAYFISH AND SALMON STEAKS OVER THE COALS: [INA PAARMAN RECIPES]
Serves 4 as part of a fish buffet
With the exorbitant price of crayfish, one almost feels guilty to indulge in this delicacy. All the more reason to make sure you use the best possible preparation and cooking techniques. Keeping it simple is the best policy.
INGREDIENTS:
2 whole crayfish or 4 tails
2-4 salmon steaks
Ina Paarman's Lemon & Black Pepper Seasoning
or Chilli & Garlic Seasoning
olive oil
Splitting Crayfish or Lobster:
1.Grip back firmly. Pierce sharply at central point where head meets body. Halve head.
2.Split in half lengthways. Remove the vein. Rinse under cold running water.
WHAT TO DO:
Season the cut crayfish halves and salmon steaks with the seasoning of your choice. Brush with a generous amount of olive oil.
Prepare a medium/hot fire. Make sure that your braai grid is spotlessly clean. Rub it with the cut side of a raw onion or a little oil to prevent food from sticking to the grid. Place the crayfish, meaty side down, and cook for 3-5 minutes. When nicely marked, turn the tails over and cook on the shell for about 7 minutes. Cook the salmon steaks for the same length of time.
Serve as is - a sauce is really not needed, but pickled Japanese ginger is an excellent accompaniment!
MUSSELS IN FRESH TAMATO SAUCE: [Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman]
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
3 T (45 ml) olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
4 large very ripe tomatoes, skinned and chopped
2 T (30 ml) Ina Paarman's Tomato Pesto
Ina Paarman's Lemon & Black Pepper seasoning
Pinch of sugar
1 cup (250 ml) boiling water
1 T (15 ml) Ina Paarman's Chicken or Vegetable stock powder
1 kg fresh mussels, scrubbed and bearded or 1 kg of frozen mussels on the half shell
WHAT TO DO:
In a big pan, sautè the onion in the olive oil, when soft add the garlic - sauté for a little longer to develop the flavour. Add tomatoes, tomato pesto, seasoning to taste and a pinch of sugar. Add the water and stock powder. Simmer for 5 minutes only. Add the mussels, cover with a lid and shake the pan back and forth while holding the lid down to cook the mussels evenly. It only takes a few minutes for the mussels to open. Serve immediately (sprinkled with fresh basil). Delicious with French bread to mop up the divine sauce.
PEPPERED SALMON ON THE BRAAI: [ Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman.]
HIERDIE IS BAIE LEKKER HET DIT NOU DIE AAND VIR MY GEMAAK!
Serves 4
I know Norwegian Salmon costs an arm and a leg, but it is so good on the braai and such a healthy choice. See suggestions for alternatives below.
INGREDIENTS:
400-500 g side of Norwegian Salmon, skin on
2 t (10 ml) Ina Paarman's Garlic Pepper Seasoning
olive oil
WHAT TO DO:
Place the salmon on a longish plate. Season it generously with Garlic Pepper Seasoning on the meaty side only. Drizzle olive oil over and spread the oil lightly over the fish with your fingers. Leave for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Place salmon on a medium fire with the meaty side down and the skin side up. Cook until nicely browned.
Carefully flip the fish over using two egg lifters and cook on the skin side - you may get flare-ups as there is a lot of oil in, and just under, the skin. Do not overcook. The flesh must just start to flake when you test it with a fork.
Serve straight away.
VARIATIONS:
Also delicious when basted on the braai with our Lemon Marinade. In the unlikely event of leftovers, outstanding with pasta the next day. Instead of Norwegian Salmon use Cape Salmon, Yellowtail or Salmon Trout.
SEARED YELLOWTAIL - ORIENTAL STYLE: [ Recipe courtesy of Ina Paarman]
Serves 6-8
Tuna or salmon are also good to use if yellowtail is not available. The trick is not to overcook the fish so it is still slightly pink inside.
250-300 g yellowtail - select a long thin piece
INGREDIENTS:
Ina Paarman's Fish Spice
2 T (30 ml) canola oil
2 T (30 ml) Wasabi paste
¼ cup (60 ml) lemon thyme leaves
heavy duty foil
50 g salmon or rainbow trout roe
1 punnet salad leaves (best choice is a mixture of rocket, watercress and baby spinach)
1 x 200 ml Ina Paarman's Honey & Soy Coat & Cook Sauce
WHAT TO DO:
Season the fish with Fish Spice and brush with oil. Preheat a ribbed griddle pan until smoky hot and sear the fish on both sides until nicely marked but not cooked through. Remove the fish from the pan and spread all round with wasabi paste. Sprinkle with lemon thyme. When cold wrap in foil and refrigerate overnight to firm.
TO SERVE:
Unwrap the fish and slice on the diagonal with a very sharp knife into 5 cm thick slices.
Divide the salad leaves between the plates. Top with sliced fish, 2 slices per plate. Spoon a little rainbow trout roe on each slice. Cut the tiniest hole in one of the top corners of the Honey & Soy sauce.
Drizzle the sauce generously back and forth over the salads.

CHEESY CRUMBED MUSSELS: [INA PAARMAN RECIPES]

1kg fresh or 500 g frozen black mussels on the half shell
1 x 200 ml Ina Paarman's Ready to Serve Cheese Sauce

4 cloves of crushed garlic
