BEST RESTAURANT IN WELLINGTON


BB's kitchen was declared the best place to eat in Welly tonight. The diners where a wee bit biased - The kids were here. We had whitebait fritters, pan fried brill fillets, our amazing new potatoes, the fantastic zucchini salad, and a green salad of our lettuces and herbs.Followed by summer berries tossed with meringues and honey laced sour cream dribbled all over.
Brill is one of my favourite fish, it looks like a flounder that has run into the back of a whale and has a very light pinkish flesh- and we bought it on the bone from Moore Wilsons and filleted it .
Its was all moisty and melty - just how good fish should be.

Zucchini salad


Well our garden has been taken over by the triffid aka the zucchini. So what to do with them?
Well here is our favourite recipe to date

Ribbon cut the zucchini - as many as you want
sprinkle over lemon juice.
then slurp on some good olive oil
then add garlic and herbs to taste ( our garlic isnt ready so we cheated by using masterfoods garlic and herb seasoning, )
Then add chopped parsely, tomatoes, spring onions. and toss thru.

and salt and pepper to taste but go easy on the salt if you used the cheats garlic and herb salt.

this is a very wet juicy salad, the zucchini leach their juice and its bloody delicious!

If you are left with any juice - chuck it over the nearest lettuce..
