Frriday fave......

is a movie called "Retreat".




A couple attempt  to salvage their relationship by heading to a remote Scottish island.  Sounds rather bland, doesn't it?  It starts off a little slow but well worth sticking to as it has plenty of twists and turns along the way.  You're not sure what's going on until the very end.  Loved it.

Friday fave.......Salmon Tartare

 I surprised Mr. Moey with this last Saturday night as an appetizer.  It was followed by Veal Piccata as a main dish.  However I may have shot myself in the foot because according to him there's no need to ever go out to a restaurant again.  He said it was that good.  Note to self : hamburgers all of next week.  It's time to re-adjust his expectations.

Salmon Tartare

Ingredients

200 grams fresh sushi grade salmon (chopped)
1 tsp fresh dill
1 tsp finely chopped red onion
1 tsp finely chopped green onion
1 tsp finely chopped jalapeno pepper
zest of 1 small lime (finely chopped)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
pinch of salt & pepper

Method

Mix all the ingredients together in a glass bowl.  Taste for seasoning and add salt & pepper if necessary.  Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours,.  This recipe serves four, you can divide it into four plates and serve it on a bed of baby arugula garnished with a twist of lime.  I served mine with homemade toasted baguette rounds, seasoned with a little olive oil, sea salt and pepper.

Friday fave.......

These are outstanding.



Available at Loblaws
Serve with cheese or just for munching on au natural, these are a must have.  Moey gives them two thumbs way up.

Friday favorite.......

Love this!



This is a great marinade for lamb and pork chops.  I put the chops in a large bowl, pour this over the meat (coating both sides) and let it sit for a couple of hours in the fridge. 

Fire up the BBQ and pour yourself a glass of wine.  Grill over medium heat until desired doneness. 

Enjoy!
