Home cured Salmon

Outside catering Lytham St Annes, Blackpool and the fylde area One of our most popular starters on the christmas menu this year is a home cured salmon with fennel shavings, beetroot, capers and a dill mayonnaise.

To cure the salmon you will need:-
500g of rock salt
500g of sugar
Parsley
Dill
pink peppercorns
lemon zest
To cure the salmon spread the mix onto a prepared side of salmon on the flesh side with and sprinkle of whisky and lemon juice, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours in a container that will hold water. Turn over and use the any left over mix and cover the skin side of the salmon, cover and again refrigerate for another 24 hours. If you have a tail end of salmon, cut this off and add more mix the the thicker side for another 24 hours to make sure the salmon is fully cooked. Then thinly slice and serve as with have or just simply with lemon juice. #home-cured-salmon #smokedsalmonstarter #christmasstarters #christmasinthefylde

Crab bisque with ricotta tortellini

One of our specials from last week that sold really well and our chef thought he would let you into the secret of how it is made. First you roast crab shells at 180 degree c for untill they are slightly brown and crispy.

Next you brown roughly chopped vegetables in butter with rosemary, parsley, garlic and roasted tomatoes.

 



Add the shells to the vegetables and add white wine and brandy, cover with water and gently simmer for 20 minutes. Add a little cream and thicken with equal amounts of flour and butter mixed together, put a small amount at a time and stir, cook for 10 minutes to thicken.

Season with salt and pepper, add lemon juice to taste and then pass through a fine sieve. It's great with some warm crunchy bread or as we have been serving it at Tiggis with fresh tortellini, tiger prawns and creme fraiche

Mallard with mixed vegetables and a red wine sauce

There are a few stages to this dish so as before we have listed them with the pictures to match.At Tiggis we try to buy as much as we can from local suppliers so our birds from Lanigans of #Lytham, a good size with little shot damage. Take the breast and legs from the bird, yo can ask your butcher / fishmonger to do this for you.

Brown your mire - poix of cekery, onions, carrots, thyme, rosemary, juniper and garlic. Roast your duck carcasses untill brown then add to the mire-poix, add the red wine and chicken stock and gently simmer for 2 hours.

Brown the mallard legs in a little oil with seasoning, add rosemary and thyme and cover with goose or duck fat, cook until tender, 2 hours approx.




Prepare your vegetables, we are serving dauphinaise potatoes, sprouting brocoli, swede, spinach, carrots and spanish asparagus.

 

 

When your stock is flavoursome, thicken with equal parts of flour and butter and pass through a fine chinoire.

 




When you are ready to serve, your potatoes are hot as are your vegetables, legs and sauce. In a hot pan, saute each breast depending on size for 3-5 minutes, until medium rare, rest for at least 3 minutes in a warm place, then carve and then assemble the dish.
