Crevettes/Gamba's

Cleaning

Cut

Cleaned

Remove intestine

 For medium appetite use 8 gamba's per person.

What do we need ?

Gamba's either from frozen (like we had) or fresh
Little bit of fresh ginger (1 table spoon)
Olive oil
1 Glass of white wine
Salt (to taste)
Tomato sauce, 2 sachets *

Turning from grey into pink

Final result

With the sauce

How do we prepare them ?

Wash the gamba's
Peel them, but leave the tail on because it's looking better and if you want to eat with your hands it's easier.
Cut the gamba's across but not through to remove the intestine (looks like a black thread).

Chop the ginger very fine

How do we cook them ?

The wok needs to become very hot
Add the ginger
Add the olive oil
Add the gamba's
Add 1 glass of white wine
Salt (to taste)
Tomato sauce *

*Since the tomato sauce comes from a sachet that we cannot buy in the country side, but in Paris, I think the best thing is to make chilli jam.

My recipe of home made chilli jam


Tip:
 If you use fresh gamba's then you don't need the
 chilli jam sauce. You can add garlic, white wine and chives.

Satay from Beef

Well this has nothing to do with the satay we know, 
with chicken or pork or goat as a brochette.

What do we need for 4 persons:

-A generous filet de boeuf
-Salt
-Satay marinade*
-White wine, whisky or Cognac (NO red wine)
-White pepper
-Bicarbonate or baking powder

*Marinade:

Since marinade is not available in regular shops, I had to list 
ingredients from the package coming from a special shop in Paris. 
Also I wouldn’t know about quantities unfortunately, so if you make this it’s down 
to common sense ;-) 
But there is hope: I have found the website so you can order this with other 
goods on-line (see bottom of this page for the address).

The Marinade:
Chilli, garlic, sesame , peanuts, sugar, oil, crayfish, exotic spices, salt, flavor enhancers.

How do we make it:

Cut the beef in opposite direction to the fibres and in very thin slices.
Salt the beef
Marinade the beef in white wine, whisky or cognac, white pepper.
Tenderize with bicarbonate or baking powder
Add some water
Mix it and cover with clingfilm
Put in the fridge for as long as possible, 1 hour at least.

The wok needs to be really hot
Put the meat in
Then add sunflower
Add the satay marinade
It doesn’t need long, so do this last minute otherwise you end up with a cold meat dish.

Special knife but a normal one is fine as well
