Ingredients
- ½ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Salt, sugar, soy sauce, Chinese red vinegar, for the dressing
- 1 sprig curly parsley, finely chopped
- ¼ cup (60 ml) good-quality olive oil
- 6 good-quality anchovies
- 6 large green olives
- 6 pickled guindilla peppers
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds and quartered
- 6 chunks good-quality tuna in olive oil
- Cocktail toothpicks
Cocktail: 50-50 martini
- 45 ml gin
- 45 ml dry vermouth
- 1 dash orange bitters
- 1 lemon twist
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over high heat, until smoking. While the oil is heating, place the spring onion into a heatproof bowl with a pinch of salt and sugar. When the oil is hot, carefully pour over the spring onion (take care, it should sizzle!) Allow to cool, then add enough soy sauce and vinegar to your taste, then stir through the parsley and olive oil.
- To serve, skewer the anchovies, olives, pickled peppers, lemon slices and a chunk of tuna. Transfer the tuna gildas to a serving plate, then spoon over the spring onion dressing.
- Combine gin, vermouth and orange bitters in a mixing glass, fill with ice and stir until well chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Note
- This episode of the Cook Up also includes Rosheen’s method for devilled egg chips. In a medium bowl combine ½ cup kewpie mayonnaise, 1 tbsp sriracha, ¼ tsp Dijon mustard and a generous pinch of black pepper. Stir through 4 hard-boiled eggs (peeled and roughly chopped), and 1 tbsp chives (thinly sliced), 8 coriander leaves (thinly sliced) and then mix well to combine. Spoon the mixture onto salt and vinegar crisps and garnish with sliced bird's eye chilli.
