Cover the pastry with onion and then spinach keeping the border free of topping. Heat oil in a large frying pan and cook onion rings for a few minutes, set aside and then add spinach to the pan and cook until completely wilted
Plus the marinated onion complete with dressing. Zest and Juice of a lemon. I really like Orzo, it cooks quickly and just absorbs flavours better than anything
Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley. To serve, toss warm pasta, bacon, broccoli florets, smoked chicken, tomatoes, onion, oranges and dressing in a large bowl
orzo is a popular pasta in Greek cuisine but is too small for this dish so I used fusilli. It didn't take long before the fish was cooked to perfection - it tasted absolutely gorgeous with the rosemary andlemon flavours coming through
Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Toss until well coated with the dressing. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper
Place the fish on a warmed plate and cover with tin foil to keep moist. The fish is lovely and delicate, yet the brown butter sauce gives it a nutty rich flavor
Serve fish topped withlemon mixture and parsley, withpastaand green beans. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking water to moisten pasta, if necessary
Serve with a green salad. Wash and remove the stalks from the spinach, steam and then squeeze out the water so you are left with a green ball the sized of a tennis ball
As mentioned, I served this with chicken, but it would also make a great partner for fish or lamb, or even on its own with some grilled pita bread for a light lunch
The crayfishand prawns were lightly poached until just cooked through - take care not to overcook them - and the scallops sauteed in a little olive oil
One, they are pretty versatile and two, they are often the result of the great-big-fridge-clear-out. And to honest, they also make for a damn good, healthy lunch
