Preparation:
Appetizer:
Wash and dry the rucola and cut it thin. Settle it on a dish
or a tray. Spread the slices of the smoked sword fish on the bed
of rucola.
Pour 100 cc of olive oil, the juice of lemon, a clove of garlic
to which you will have removed the core, three slices of thinny
cut ginger, salt, pepper, a point of mustard (very little,
please) and the anchovy in the glass of the blender and beat with
all until compost will be dense and uniform.
Season the carpaccio with this sauce, trim it with pink pepper
and spread the chopped parsley upon it.
Course
Prepare the tomato sauce: let boil for a minute the small
tomatoes in hot water, then chop them in a blender with a clove
of garlic without core, onion and a dozen of basil leaves.
Cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes.
Prepare a large pan, better if made of stainless steel, and put
the prawns and the baby lobsters in it (cut the shell with
scissors), the black mussels, the clams and the squids which you
will have cut in rings, cook everything at high flame. When
mussels and clams will open, pour a glass of white wine, a little
of hot chili pepper,two this slices of ginger and the herbs. Add
the olive oil at the end and cook on high flame until the wine
evaporates, then add the tomato sauce that you have priorly
prepared. Go on with the cooking for other 10/15 minutes on the
low flame.
In the meanwhile cook spaghetti and drip them al dente,
then pour them into the large pan, put the flame at its top and sauté
everything for something like 10 seconds, so that they will be
well flavored.
Pour spaghetti on a tray or a warmed dish, paying attention that
seafood will stay on the top in bellavista. Springle
with chopped parsley.
Dessert:
Put the lemon ice cream in the glass of the blender, turn the blender on and add champagne slowly until the sorbet will have the ideal softness. Pour it in two flute glasses.
You will be better to put all the courses on
the table, in order to avoid to stand later. Keep sorbets in the
refrigerator so that it will keep its consistence, once you put
them on the table and will resist until the end of the supper.
You are supposed to shell seafood with fingers, trying to shell
them with cutlery is ridiculous. If seduction is at a good point,
you could shell a prawn and serve it to the mouth of your partner
with your fingers, lingering a short moment over his lips. It is
a very erotic thing to do.
Table dressing is left to your sense of artistic.
