Recipe of the Week - Balmain Bugs with Ginger and Shallots

Balmain Bugs with Ginger and Shallots

MERRY XMAS and HNY!!

Have had the best time down the South Coast of NSW where we found Balmain Bugs at Lucky's Seafood in Ulladulla, and at great prices - as delicious as lobster and came already halved ready for the BBQ.

We cooked them with Truffle Butter made with Tetsuya's Black Truffle Salsa, and they were amazing!

For an Asian twist straight from an old Chinese colleague, try Balmain Bugs with Ginger and Shallots.

New Recipe! Sri Lankan Sweet Potato and Snapper Curry

Sri Lankan Sweet Potato and Snapper Curry

Based on a dish from the Flying Fish restaurant by Sri Lankan owner Peter Kuruvita, this is a version for the home cook.

It has a great serving approach where the fish is pan-fried separately therefore the curry can be served on it's own for vegetarians or with grilled chicken for those who prefer it. Is a great dinner party main for being so versatile with tastebuds.

Here it is as requested by my brother Gareth.
