Latholemono Recipes

Steps:

• In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt and pepper. Seal, and shake until well blended. Use to brush onto chicken or fish when cooking, and set aside some for serving with the meal. Shake or stir before using, as the oil will separate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Cut slits into the branzino skin 1 inch apart, being careful not to cut through the spine. Stuff each slit with the garlic then drizzle the fish with oil. Season heavily with salt and pepper. Stuff the fish cavity with the lemon slices and the thyme sprigs. Transfer the fish to the wire rack and roast in the oven until the flesh is flaky and cooked through, about 14 minutes.
• Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Brush fish with olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle with salt and oregano. Let sit at room temperature while you light up the grill.
• Grill fish 4-5 minutes on each side, or until done to your liking. I prefer to leave tuna somewhat rare inside, so it takes less time than other varieties.
• Prepare latholemono by placing all ingredients in a blender, and blending until smooth and creamy. It will separate eventually, so make it immediately before serving. There will probably be leftovers. It can be whisked back together and used as a salad dressing or sauce for vegetables or other meats.
• Drizzle a little sauce on fish, and enjoy.

Steps:

• Whisk together lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Whisk in kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, lemon juice and oregano in a small glass bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir well again, just before serving or using.

Steps:

• Soak bread crumbs in milk in a large bowl.
• Toast fennel seeds in a dry small skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Chop fennel seeds and add to bread-crumb mixture along with pork, garlic, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Gently mix with your hands until well blended. Using a small spoon, loosely stuff squid with fennel sausage, leaving a 1/2-inch space at top (you may have some stuffing left over). Seal tops using wooden picks.
• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
• Coat stuffed squid and tentacles with oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Oil grill rack, then grill stuffed squid, turning frequently, until golden in spots and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of filling registers 150 to 155°F, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Grill tentacles until opaque and curled, about 1 minute, then add to platter. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with parsley.
