Dinner started with a Richard Corrigan recipe for baby squid stuffed with chorizo and feta. The actual stuffing of the squid was a tad fiddly, but well worth it for the end product was a success. I substituted the olive oil for rapeseed oil, and also added some lemon and parsley as dressing. The parsley wasn't necessary but the lemon definitely helped it along. This would make an excellent dinner party starter, as you could stuff the squid in advance, and it looks fancy. I'm a fan of Richard Corrigan's recipes.
For the main V made fish soup containing prawns and gurnard fillets. She made a stock with some fish bones that were a freebie from Moxons, bulked up with some lobster stock that we had in the freezer. This was accompanied by rouille, croutons and gruyere cheese. I don't know whether the cheese is traditional or necessary, but it definitely worked. I'm lucky that V likes to cook, and that she does it so well.
Dessert was a chocolate tart from Tesco. Sweet, gooey unctious, a surprise considering the source.
A pretty damn good Sunday meal.
