Seafood Sides, Starters & Secrets Roasted Lemon Pre-heat your oven to 180 celcius, then take three lemons, cut them in half through the middle (not lengthways). scrunch up some aluminium foil into the bottom of a muffin tin. Place the lemon halves flesh side up in the muffin tin. Roast in to oven for around 30mins. Remove from oven and serve with seafood with warm or cooled in place of the traditional 'slice of lemon.' The flavour of roasted lemons is 100 times more amazing than you could imaginge.
Roasted Garlic Take a whole head of garlic and slice off the base. Place in the muffing tin descrided above... that is put the whole head in the place one muffin would go. The flavour is different to any other way you have tasted garlic. It is significantly milder and can be used in several different ways with seafood. Taste it on a small corner of bread to understand the taste then get creative and use it where your imagination takes you. Always taste your creations before you serve them!
Seafood Sauce The basis of seafood sauce is mayonaise 90% and tomato sauce 10% - Anything over and above this is usually only a dash of tobasco or woster sauce. Knowing how simple it is to make - you won't ever need to buy it again.

Parsley & Raw Anchovy with Bread Stick Ingredients:

Smoked Salmon & Goats Cheese Rolls Smoked salmon has a strong flavour, so pairing it with a gentle flavour like goats cheese is ideal. Simply spread the cheese over the smoked salmon, roll the salmon up and secure with a tooth pick (you may want to cut the rolls into smaller servings). Make sure you taste your first one, so you can adjust the thickness of the cheese layer to suit your taste.
Yellow Rice (Saffron Rice / Turmeric Rice) Go with Turmeric - it's inexpensive and better for you than saffron. But.... you must put another spice alongside turmeric for it to be digested impactfuly for your health. Here is how I do it: Ingredients:
Mehod: Cook the rice the way you normally would, but add the turmeric and cinnamon at the start to the water. Note: If you want to use saffron, check online how to make roasted saffron, then grind it and use in place of the spices mentioned above.
