Wild thing I think you move me

Yeah yeah yeah wild thing

Wild thing...!!!!

... Let's do it

With the pulpo we served poor man potatoes (cooked with pepers and bay leaves) and aubergine caviar.

My ginger and lime scampi are a classic with us by now. Chop lots of garlic, put oil, salt, chili flakes or fresh chili and grated ginger in the frying pan. Sprinkle your scampi with fine cane sugar. Pour contents of pan sizzling hot over your scampi and wait a while before putting them on the grill. Squeeze an entire lime and pour over scampi, - keep an extra lime to squeeze some over your grilled scampi before serving.

There's no way tomatoe spaghetti would've gone with this, - so I tried a fresh, kind of stir fried vegetable sauce to go with the spaghetti for starters instead.

Chop spring onion, celery, garlic, lemon, mint basil, parsley, baby tomatoes. Heat olive oil with a spoon full of tomatoe puree, add the garlic, stir fry the veg in this, add salt and pepper.

For starters we had squid marinated in garlic and olive oil.

Then we had grilled spigole.

a figues and buffala mozzarela salad

and a caponata
