Scalóipí Turcaí le Gremolata & Spionáiste déanta ag Éamonn Ó Catháin

Tá stéigeanna turcaí an-fhurasta a chócaráil. Ní gá ach iad a ghríoscadh ar an phanna gríosctha agus iad a ithe le beagán mustaird. Is béile simplí gasta é sin. Nó is féidir anlann a dhéanamh le cur leo. Cibé scéal é, is féidir turcaí a ullmhú i bhfad níos gaiste ná sicín agus beidh béile breá cothaitheach agat gan mhoill! Is maith liom a úire agus a éadroime atá stéigeanna turcaí (a laghad a dhéantar cócaráil orthu, is amhlaidh is éadroime agus is fusa a dhíleá iad) agus ní thig liom smaoineamh ar aon rud a bheadh níos fearr lena dtionlacan ná an meascán Iodálach ar a dtugtar gremolata.

䰿ѱÁᴡ

2 stéig turcaí an duine
1 mhála spionáiste
3 ionga gairleoige
1 dos peirsile
Trátaí silín
Ola olóige
1 liomóid
Salann, piobar dubh

MODH

Tá gremolata iontach furasta a dhéanamh. Ní gá ach an pheirsil a mhionghearradh, an ghairleog a bhrú, stiallacha craicinn a bhaint den liomóid agus iad sin a mheascadh le chéile le beagán ola olóige. Cuir sin i mbabhla le pinse salainn agus croitheadh den phiobar dubh agus fág sa chuisneoir é go ceann 30 bomaite ar a laghad. Is iondúil gremolata a ithe le Osso Bucco agus ba chóir é a dhéanamh úr i gcónaí, rud nach nglacann ach 5 bhomaite. Bíonn sé iontach maith le hiasc de gach cineál agus bíonn sé thar a bheith maith le scalóipí turcaí fosta!
Leis an turcaí a ghiollacht, cuir an panna gríosctha ar an teas, caith na stéigeanna turcaí go léir i mbeagán ola olóige, blaistigh le salann agus le piobar dubh agus ansin déan iad a ghríoscadh ar an phanna. Le cuma dheas a chur air, bain feidhm as an mhodh ar a dtugtar “deich go dtí a dó”. Ciallaíonn sé sin go gcuirtear an scalóip trasna ar an phanna mar a bheadh lámh ar chlog agus é dírithe ar an deich. Ansin leagtar an bealach eile é, dírithe ar an áit a mbeadh a dó ar chlog. Is mar sin a dhéantar an patrún deas cliathach ar an fheoil. Déan an rud céanna ar an taobh eile.
Déan an spionáiste a chócaráil i bpota go ceann roinnt bomaití le stealladh beag uisce agus beagán ola olóige.
Cuir an spionáiste ar phláta leis na scalóipí gríosctha. Steall gremolata go fial ar na scalóipí agus maisigh an bia le trátaí silín rósta san oigheann le salann mara agus le hola olóige.

Turkey steaks are simple to cook. At their most basic, you can simply grill them on that griddle pan and eat with a little mustard for a quick and plain meal, or you can make a sauce to go with them. In any case, they cook much faster than chicken and provide you with a nutritious meal in no time. I like the freshness and lightness of them (the less you cook them the lighter and more easy to digest they will be) and can think of no better accompaniment to them than the Italian mix called gremolata.

INDGREDIENTS

2 turkey steaks per person
1 bag of spinach
3 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of parsley
Cherry tomatoes
Olive oil
1 lemon
Salt, black pepper

METHOD

Gremolata is a cinch: you just need to finely chop all the parsley, crush the garlic, zest the lemon and mix all together with a little olive oil. Place in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a twist of black pepper and leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Gremolata is traditionally served with Osso Buco and should always be made fresh, though it only takes 5 minutes. It combines extremely well with fish of all sorts and is equally at home with grilled turkey escalopes.
To cook the turkey, simply heat your griddle pan, toss all the turkey steaks in a little olive oil, season with salt and black pepper and then grill them on the pan. To do this nicely, use the method called “ten to two” where the escalope is placed at an angle corresponding to ten on one side of the clock and then is angled to the two position. This is how you achieve that nice criss-cross effect. Repeat on the other side.
Cook the spinach in a saucepan for a few minutes with the smallest amount of water & a little olive oil.
Place the spinach on a plate, along with the grilled escalopes. Sprinkle the escalopes generously with the gremolata & garnish with some cherry tomatoes which have been oven roasted with sea salt & olive oil.
