NEW ORLEANS COLESLAW



New Orleans Coleslaw image

This is my accompaniment of choice for the buttermilk chicken. Indeed, I have even converted fiercely committed anti-coleslawers with it. I can't remember why I call it my New Orleans Coleslaw now (I've been making it, or a version of it, for so long) but I think it has something to do with all the wonderful pecan trees I saw when I was there. Do serve a potato salad alongside if you want: you see, in the picture, some baby new potatoes doused in olive oil, salt and a little lime juice, shaken about in a mustard jar.

Categories     Steak

Time 14m

Yield 1 steak, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus some for oiling)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon table salt (or just under 1 teaspoon of Kosher Salt)
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
12 ounces New York strip steaks (1 Steak)
8 ounces cherries (halved) or 8 ounces grape tomatoes (halved)
3 sprigs fresh oregano (to serve) (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan, or cast-iron or heavy non-stick frying pan.
  • In a small dish that can take the steak snugly later, combine the extra-virgin olive oil, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, salt, and red wine vinegar. Oil the steak lightly and put it in the hot pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side, then remove it to the dish of spicy marinade and sit the cooked steak for 2 minutes a side in the dish. Your steak will be rare, but that's the way it's meant to be.
  • Remove the steeped steak to a board, ready for slicing, and while it sits there, arrange the cherry tomatoes, cut-side down, in the marinade dish. Cut the steak into thin slices on the diagonal and arrange on a serving dish or 2 dinner plates.
  • Smoosh the tomatoes around in the marinade, then pour them, and the marinade, over the ribbons of meat. Add a few leaves of fresh oregano, if you can get them, and serve immediately.

PRAWNS/SHRIMP WITH MARYAM ZAIRA SAUCE - NIGELLA LAWSON



Prawns/Shrimp With Maryam Zaira Sauce - Nigella Lawson image

OK, so this is the idea: sauce Marie Rose goes Moroccan. Instead of the usual tomato ketchup (well, be honest) I dollop in some good bought harissa. It works wonderfully, and the honey makes up for the sugar you lack by giving up the ketchup. Be careful when you buy harissa though, as not only does it vary enormously in strength but also some jars that bear the name are not really harissa but some paste made red with beetroot and carrot. Check the back of the tub for ingredients. I used a gorgeously mild harissa here, a rose harissa, that I find poetically desirable. But start with a small amount of the harissa before working up to the amount I have stipulated below. I love prawns/shrimp with their shell still on; a bit of DIY at the table always seems to help the atmosphere. But if you hate mess and can't bear the sight of seeing people dropping shells all over the place and haven't got time for treatment, then simply buy peeled prawns/shrimp instead.
