心里就跃跃欲试了

Sea Bass with Red&Yellow Pepper Compote

这块sea bass比我的脸还大

囧

要用很大量的sauce来摆盘

我只好搬出party的餐具来装

很是壮观

接下来说说怎么做吧

Ingredients for the fish
1 pc of Sea Bass

Sea Salt
Thyme (leaves removed from stems)
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Butter

How to:

1) Season sea bass with a little salt and the fresh thyme leaves.

2) Pan fry the seabass in hot olive oil, oneside for 30 seconds first.

3) Flip over to fry the other side, for approximately 30 seconds as well.

4) You’ll see the flesh changing from translucent to white as it cooks.

5) Add some cooking wine to the pan and cover it up, simmer for about 1 minutes.

6) Make sure fish is the throughly cooked so kids can enjoy as well.

7) You can serve the sea bass on a bed of rice or with pepper sauce.

Ingredients for the sauce:
1 Cored And Finely Sliced Red Peppers
1 Cored And Finely Sliced Yellow Peppers
2 Star Anise
2 sprigs Basil
1 tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
200ml Water

How to:

1) Roughly slice the peppers and sweat in a pan of hot olive oil until softened.

2) Season , then add the star anise, basil and vinegar.

3) Pour the vinegar in around the side of the pan so that it gently heats up before reaching the centre.

5) Keep over the heat and allow the mixture to reduce.

6) The vegetables should look rich and glossy.

7) Add the water and leave to reduce again, approx 15 minutes.

8) The water should have reduced enough to make a syrupy sauce.

9) Remove the star anise and basil stalks and transfer to a blender.

10) Blitz until smooth.

11) Taste and season if necessary, blitz again.

12) The consistency should be that of a smooth, thick soup.

好了，ENJOY~

最新出炉的不织布手工

第一个是做给米米房间的纸巾筒

用了粉色，小女孩子的最爱

希望米米不要把纸巾全部抽出来

这是她目前的嗜好

然后给自己的Accessory Tray

为了做这个拼花效果

把不同颜色的不织布剪成小块

然后一一缝起来，还挺费时的，好在效果还不赖呢。
