Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)#FishFriday

Dublin Lawyer with (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce) is a simple delicious seafood dish. Have peeled and washed shrimps and it's ready in minutes.

I have used the flambéing method to give additional aroma, flavor to this dish and this moderates the harshness of whiskey. I love this Irish whiskey as it leaves a sweet flavor behind. Serve this on a bed of steamed rice or porter bread. In Ireland this is served with porter bread and salad. Since porter bread is not available here I enjoyed this on a bed of steamed rice.

Serves 2
Ingredients
300 Grans Peeled and Washed Shrimps/Prawns
¼ Cup Salted Butter
⅓ Cup Irish whiskey - I used Bushmills
⅓ Cup Heavy Cream
Chopped Chives or Scallion Greens
Steamed Rice

Method

In a large metal saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add shrimp and season with salt, pepper, cayenne and paprika.
Toss in butter and cook. Should take around 3-4 minutes depending on the size of your seafood. Remove seafood from pan and reserve on a plate.

Gently add whiskey to pan. Using a lighter catch whiskey on fire or tilt the pan and increase the flame to high. Once it catches fire, switch off the flame and wait till fire goes out and alcohol is burned off. This should take just a few minutes. 

Then again switch on the flame add cream and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until starts to thicken. Add seafood back into saucepan and toss to coat.

Spoon rice in bowl and top with a spoonful of seafood.
Top with a sprinkling of chopped chives or scallion greens. 

Enjoy this delicious Irish seafood dish.

Moroccan Rghaif#BreadBakers

Rghaif is a squared flatbread usually eaten in Morocco for breakfast or tea time. You can have them plain or stuffed, sweet or savory, their texture is very soft. It’s richer, but also crispy and super comforting. I have made a vegan version of this bread. This is also made with a meat, caramelized onions filling and there’s many ways to prepare this bread. Traditionally they are individually pan-fried but we can also bake them.

Ingredients

For The Dough
1 Cup Heaped All Purpose Flour
2 Tablespoons Semolina
¼ Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Oil 
For The Stuffing
2 Tablespoons Oil
1 Cup Sliced Onions
Salt to taste
2 Chopped Olives
2 Chopped Jalapenos

Method 
Prepare The Dough

Mix the flour and semolina together. Add oil and mix well, then keep adding little water at a time and knead to a stiff dough. Keep aside covered for at least 15 minutes.
In the meantime let's make the stuffing

In a pan heat oil, add the onions with add a pinch of salt and sauté until light golden brown/caramelized. 
Transfer the onions in bowl add olives, jalapenos and mix well.

Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll each into a round circle about ¼ inch thick. 

Place the filling in the center and now fold it like an envelope to make a square. Lightly roll it to make it slightly thin and to even out the stuffing.

Fold it into a square parcel.

Roll this square rghaif to flatten it a little.

Heat a skillet with oil and fry these on low flame until golden on both sides. 

Serve hot with pickle.
