Scrambled Eggs - Gordon Ramsay Style

I love watching foul-mouth Scottish Michelin star chef Gordon Ramsay and he's a good inspiration for trying new recipes (but that's for another posting).

I was never big on eggs, but I saw this version of scrambled eggs that he makes here and now I make this all the time. Pretty cheap and it makes a nice light lunch or supper.





Butter adds a nice richness to the eggs, and he uses creme fraiche at the end, but I simply substituted mayonnaise. I love it on toast and spice it up a bit with whatever spice suits my mood (dill or chili powder).

But it was pointed out to me, that the result is basically egg salad.

Baked Whitefish

This is something I do a lot, and it's inspired by the baked cod they make at Portuguese places.



Here I started with some frozen basa fillets. Basa is cheap, but tasty and it's usually sold frozen but it tastes fine.

On the frozen slabs of fish I put
-onions (skinny slivers are best)
-olive oil
-salt
-spices (marjoram in this case)
-lemon juice
-capers (optional)

and simply bake for 20 minutes. The onion should become a bit charred an impart a nice flavour. You can change up the spices for different flavours if you're into it.
