Seafood, Chorizo & Spinach Lasagne


Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes

INGREDIENTS
  • 300g spinach
  • 6 lasagne sheets
  • 650ml white parsley sauce (click here for our home recipe which only takes 10 minutes)
  • 200g poached salmon fillets, skinned and boned, broken into chunks (cooking time not included above)
  • 150g raw, peeled king prawns
  • Spicy Chorizo (we used the pre-sliced kind as it was easier to shred)
  • 25g parmesan, grated
  • 25g mozzarella (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C (fan). 
  2. Place the spinach in a large colander, pour over a kettle of boiling water, then run the cold tap through it to cool it down. When cooled squeeze the spinach to completely remove any excess water.
  3. Place the lasagne sheets in a pan of boiling water and simmer for 2 minutes.
  4. Rub a layer of butter around the bottom of your oven dish then pour a third of the parsley sauce into a small buttered oven dish and spread evenly covering the bottom. Top with half of the spinach, salmon, prawns and chorizo, then cover with 3 lasagne sheets (or whatever covers your dish). Gently press the sheets down to compress.
  5. Pour half of the remaining sauce over, then repeat with the rest of the spinach, salmon, prawns and chorizo. Top with 3 more lasagne sheets then pour the rest of the sauce over. 
  6. Sprinkle the parmesan and mozzarella evenly over the top.
  7. Place the lasagne in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is browning.

Smokey Sweet Potato Fries

Prep time: 7 minutes Cooking time:   6-8 minutes per batch INGREDIENTS 2 lbs sweet potatoes cut into thin fries 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1 cup cornstarch 3/4 cup water. Vegetable oil for your deep fat fryer INSTRUCTION Heat your deep fat fryer to 190C. Cut your potatoes into thin fries. Mix the salt, garlic powder, paprika and sugar in a bowl and set aside. Mix the cornstarch and water . Dip the fries into the cornstarch/water mix to thoroughly coat then allow the residue to drip off them. Move them to the fryer, you may need to do this in two batches as you don't want to overfill the fryer in case they all stick together. Fry each batch for 6-8 minutes until crispy, stirring them when needed to avoid them sticking together. After each batch is done, place them on kitchen towel and dust them with the paprika mix. Enjoy!! :) 

Cayenne Buttered Prawns

Prep time: 4 minutes Cooking time: 4 minutes INGREDIENTS 150g raw king prawns 3 TBSP butter 2 Cloves garlic (mince) 1/2 Lemon (juice) 1 TBSP Cayenne pepper  2 TBSP Parsley (finely chopped) INSTRUCTIONS Chop the parsley and mince the garlic. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Add the garlic, parsley and lemon juice. Cook for 1 minute then add the prawns on a medium to high heat. Turn the prawns after 30 seconds. After a minute remove the prawns and butterfly them. If you are unsure how to butterfly, simply hold then prawn in one hand, back facing upwards, then slice down the spine of the prawn as close as you can get without halving it. Then fold out the sides like a butterfly. Return the prawns to the pan and cook for a further 3 minutes making sure all area is coated in the butter mixture. During the last minute lightly dust each side of the prawns with the cayenne pepper. Voila :)
