Actually, I think maybe I ate too much at lunch in the gorgeous Brixton Village (saw Tranny on a Bike, that clearly made my mother and Peter's (step father) day...and
whenever I eat too much, I then can't seem to stop. So, I had the urge to try out a new little recipe..,
Not knowing quite how many would be round the kitchen table, I wanted something quick and easy and equally (if not more so) delicious the next day..,
So... salmon, ricotta and spinach filo roll was created..,
Super simple, quick and very tasty ... Here goes...
Fillets of salmon (one per person - and a few more for luck)
Big pot of ricotta
Parmesan, grated
Lemon juice (and zest of at least 2 lemons)
Handful of breadcrumbs
Chives, salt and pepper
1 or 2 egg yolks
Bag of spinach
Filo pastry
Mix all ingredients in one big bowl, making sure salmon is chopped up in little bits and spinach has been pre-cooked in a pan for a few minutes until wilted)
Butter the sheets of pastry with melted butter one by one until you have at least 5 stuck together.
Put the salmon mixture on the lower part of the pastry, and then roll ...
Seal the ends with more melted butter, and then cook at 180 degrees for about 25 minutes...
I served with asparagus and green beans (with a drizzle of hot butter/lemon juice)
Oh so yum.
Swiftly followed by my little Max's (not so little as he's 14 this June) but as he's my baby, he'll always be little to me)
APPLE CRUMBLE and custard (which he made this afternoon while I was clipping the dog, and trying to recover from my vast lunch)
No leftovers sadly, but tomorrow is a whole nother day of thinking about my tum, so will keep you posted....
