TODAY AT “CHEZ BELLA” – Sauteed Seabass & Potato Salat

:

Ma´ Girl……….

:
:
Today, I satisfied my craving for fresh fish by sharing 2 lbs of fillet with Bella.
Normally, this amount of fish fillet would easily serve four, but since we only had a small amount of potato salad with it, and we both only have one meal per day, the portion was not really that excessive…….. and of course, Bella agreed 🙂

Remove skin and bones from 2,5 lbs sea bass.
That should leave you with 2 lbs of clean fillet, wich serves four generous portions.
Season the fillets with kosher salt, sriracha, lemon juice and garlic paste to taste.
Dredge in a a/p flour and bread crumb mixture of 50/50 %, shake off excess flour.
Saute in 2 tblsp olive oil until golden on both sides, discard oil, add 2 oz of butter, saute another minute.
To serve, plate the fish, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, drizzle with the hot butter.
Serve with potato salad or side dish of your choice.

Breakfast Of Champions # 72 Fried Eggs And Bacon With Currywurst Sauce

:
:
Now that I am back living in Germany again, there is always a jar with currywurst sauce in my fridge. I use this wonder sauce not only for traditional currywurst, but also on sandwiches instead of mustard and on other dishes, veggies, BBQ, eggs, etc.
I admit that this looks a bit messy on the plate, but when it tastes so good, who gives a ……….
And if the portion seems excessive ???, pls understand that I share all my food with Bella, and breakfast was the only meal we had before a late dinner on that day. Otherwise, this would probably serve 3 to 4 “normal” people.  🙂

Currywurst Sauce Recipe:
There are a million and one currywurst sauce recipes out there, and most are pretty good. Yet, this one is so tremendously simple I don’t even consider it to be a recipe, but it is perfect for me and it is my go-to CW sauce:
Simmer a 1 cup of water, add 2 tblsp curry powder, a dash of worcester sauce, one tsp of garlic paste and 2 cup best quality ketchup.
Simmer for a few minutes, cool down. When serving, alway sprinkle more curry powder over the sauce. Done !

Confession Of An PT Addict

>
I confess !
I am a lifelong PT addict, ever since I was a child and my mother fed me my first dose of PT ………
I will eat PT (pig’s tails) with gusto, in whatever guise you set them before me – braised in soy sauce, salted, fried, in stews, souse, soups, or just by themselves with bread and condiments, as shown here.
For today’s lunch, one bucket of 5 lbs was the exact right amount for Bella and me to pig out (pun intended). Of course, there are a lot of bones, so the actual amount of meat is not really that excessive (well, maybe a little……).
One might call this a case of “PT Overdose” 🙂

Excerpt from an article by  Chichi Wang  on  Serious Eats :
” I want to make the case that pigs’ tails contain everything desirable in the pig, and in exactly the right proportions. Unlike ox tail, the tails of pigs come with the skin intact so that each segment is a perfect cross-section of skin, fat, tendon, and meat.
Fried or roasted, the skin of the tail is chewy and crisp, with a gelatinous layer underneath. Tail flesh is fork-tender like that of the neck bones, but meatier than trotters. There’s a modest amount of tendon around each bony hub–just enough to make the gnawing enjoyable, but not so much as to distract from the whole. All in all, a Pigs tail is a little porky universe unto itself. “

– Looks like I am not the only “PT Addict” 🙂
