Pescatarian Seafood Piadina (Flatbread)

in Recipes on 04/18/20

I’ve been having fun these last few weeks taking virtual trips to places that were on my travel list for this spring and summer as part of a pescatarian food tour! Writing these fun virtual trips feels like the live version of a lucid dream. Thank you for indulging me!

This recipe is inspired by a trip to Capri, Italy. With its gorgeous blue oceans and the scent of lemon in the air, this beautiful island makes for a good two-day trip.

The restaurants are plentiful here but I’m in the mood to do a little cooking with local ingredients. With limited food supplies due to the current state of things, I got my hands on a few pounds of shrimp, tinned mussels in olive oil, local cheese, a handful of fresh arugula greens, tomatoes and a package of piadina. 

I plan to make a seafood pizza.

Piadia is a simple yeast-free Italian flatbread that is straightforward to make. An Italian In My Kitchen blog has a great recipe if you’re interested in making it from scratch. Naan bread or a Greek style pita would also work for this recipe. 

In addition to what I bought at the market, my rental loft has some good stuff – olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flake – Italian pantry essentials.

Ingredients:

Serves 2

  • 2 flatbreads
  • ½ shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 tin of blue mussels in olive oil, drained, oil reserved
  • ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 1 handful of black olives, sliced
  • 1 large tomato, sliced thin
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ cup arugula leaves
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flake

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.Add the tablespoon of olive oil along with the reserved tinned mussel oil to a medium sized skillet.

When the oil is hot, add the shrimp, garlic, lemon juice to the pan along with a little freshly cracked black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until the shrimp just start to turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside, reserve the olive oil sauce in a separate container. 

Lay the flatbread out on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a pastry brush to spread on the reserved olive oil sauce from the pan.

Next, layer on your ingredients. My formula is cheese, tomato, shrimp, mussels, cheese, olives and red pepper flake. 

Add the baking sheet to the oven and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven, top with fresh arugula, slice as desired and serve immediately.

Enjoy!

After a weekend of indulgence, I was in the mood for something simple today. Not to mention that I received such sweet birthday phone calls from my two chicken tortilla soup loving nieces, Briana and Courtney! With these two in mind and a bunch of halibut cheeks and bones on hand I went to work.

Halibut bone broth is the base of this soup. The recipe is in the forthcoming book.

It's such a beautiful day!! I couldn't resist spending my morning at the beach. It's usually raining on my birthday, so sunshine is a real treat and is a testament to the bright and beautiful year that I've had personally.

I've been instructed by friends and colleagues to eat lots of cake (hubby will see you that), and my mom & dad gifted me a beautiful bunch of chocolate dipped fruit, to help balance out the cake 😋!

Wild halibut cheeks are on deck for supper! I bought them during my last trip to Morrow Bay from @giovannis_fish_market and have them well preserved in the freezer.

I appreciate all of your support and really enjoy our fun banter!

I took a break from clam dishes to triple test my recipe for Baja inspired seafood enchiladas for the book - crab and shrimp are featured. Most of you know that I'm crazy about Mexican food and ingredients, grew up enjoying both.
.
.
.
As I researched the dish, I learned that enchiladas have roots in royal Aztec cuisine. 
.

I cooked up a batch of black beans and made cilantro rice to boot!

This recipe wil be in the forthcoming book... something to look forward to 😋.

I planned on filming a full video recipe on geoducks but it fell off my list of priorities since I owe my editor book updates. However, I was able to get this bit in. My husband had a hard time watching this, which I found hilarious!!

To remove the shell I dropped the whole clam in boiling water for 10 seconds, then blanched it in ice water.

This is a geoduck, (pronounced "gooey-duck"), which is a clam with an oversized siphon (sometimes called the neck). The siphon and body are so large that the shell can't close tightly. It bears an unfortunate resemblance to a certain part of the male anatomy that gives some of us the giggles!
.
.
.
Geoduck can be expensive at restaurants, but it's simple enough to prepare at home. I plan to serve this as sushi for New Years Day!

Similar to the Pacific razor clams, the geoduck is common in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. I found mine at a local market.

I couldn't wait to crack open my suitcase which I stuffed with a bunch of frozen seafood from local markets, mostly wild salmon and Pacific razor clams. Thanks to @alaskaair for overlooking a slight bag overage 😉.

I've been obsessed with clams lately (including geoducks) so brace yourself and prepare to be inspired over the next couple of weeks.

I made a batch of Pacific razor clams for Christmas Eve supper at the Lakehouse using a basic flour and egg wash. This approach gave the clams a southern "chicken fried" texture. They turned out great and got hubby's attention. He wanted more...so, I bought more!
.
.
Today I defrosted a 1lb package made up of 7 whole cleaned clams and used Panko breadcrumb + egg wash to coat them before a quick pan fry.

This is a really gorgeous spot where the Methow and Chewuch rivers meet. There is a #Chinook #coho and #steelhead fish hatchery just across the water, behind the trees. I passed it on my fat bike ride. The goal of the hatchery is to restore and replinish fish stocks. Once the fish are released into the Methow River they swim more than 500 miles to the Pacific Ocean. @usfws

The views are spectacular and inspiring - sipping coffee while looking out this window coaxed me to  into editing another chapter of the forthcoming book.
