I went with Clementine and Leonardo to the fish market this morning, and they helped me choose what sea food to prepare for todays lunch!

• we had ‘mangia tutti’
• I dusted them in chick pea flower( as Leonardo is gluten intolerant)
• and quickly fried them in sunflower oil

• they were so crunchy and light!

• we had to have baby octopus, as they are the children’s favourite
• I boiled them in water, a little vinegar and bay leaf, for about 20 minutes
• let them cool in the water

• Leonardo helped me pull apart the legs of the octopus

• we made a very simple dressing of olive oil, lemon, salt and parsley

• these scallops we just dotted with little butter
• salt and pepper and put them under he grill for a few minutes

• I used finger limes

• bend asparagus until they snap
• add salt and oil

• put them for a few minutes on a hot griddle

• et voilá

• I also made a red cabbage salad with Italian parsley (Clementines favourite)

• I think this was a success !
