N is for nectarine, a gorgeously juicy, sweet fruit that is simply delicious when ripe. A great and tasty recipe that is so easy to prepare is seared scallops with nectarine and chilli.
How to cook seared scallops with nectarine and chilli?
➡ Simply fry one chopped nectarine and two finely chopped chillis in a little hot olive oil for 2 to 3 minutes, then add 4 scallops and cook for one minute on each side. Serve on a small bed of salad leaves with chopped parsley mixed with them. It’s a delicious starter or double the ingredients for a lunchtime snack with crusty bread.
N is also for noodles, a simple to prepare and filling addition to your meat and vegetable dishes.
‘N’ words not immediately thought of in food and eating terms include:
nigella, not Nigella Lawson (a great UK chef), but a black seed used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking as a spice,
noggin, but not Noggin The Nog, a popular UK children’s programme in the 60′s (yes, I am old enough to remember it!), but a measure, mainly for alcohol,
nun’s beads, walnut sized balls of blended cheese, egg yolk and breadcrumbs, wrapped in puff pastry and deep fried.
