Cooking Instructions
- 1
Place the squid ink packet in a bowl and cut it open with the tip of a knife. Use your fingers to squeeze out the gelatinous contents, wearing rubber gloves for protection. Add a little hot water and dissolve well, then strain and discard the empty packet. In a pan, sauté the minced garlic in oil, add the squid cut into small cubes, and when it heats up and is well browned, deglaze with the wine.

When the alcohol has evaporated, add the tomato sauce or alternatively half a tablespoon of tomato paste. Cook for a few moments, then remove from heat and add the squid ink to create a sauce.
- 3
For the shrimp butter: In a saucepan, brown the heads and shells with a little oil, the unpeeled garlic, and the peeled and thinly sliced shallot.
- 4
Add the tomato paste, thyme, bay leaf, parsley stems, and melted butter. Cook on low heat for about 30 minutes. Then remove from heat, add the peppercorns, tarragon, and basil. Let it infuse for about 10 minutes and strain.
- 5
For the gremolata: Finely chop all the ingredients (parsley, garlic, grated lemon zest, and anchovy) with a knife or mixer.
- 6
For the sea urchin cream: Place everything in an immersion blender cup, the tomatoes previously blanched and peeled. Blend and emulsify with olive oil. Adjust the salt.
- 7
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of salted water and cook them 5 minutes less than the package instructions, then toss them in a pan with the squid ink sauce. Finish cooking by adding cooking water if necessary, turn off the heat and mix with the shrimp butter. Plate by making a nest of spaghetti, pour the sea urchin cream and gremolata cold.

Brad's halfshell kumamoto oysters with parsley gremolata Brad's halfshell kumamoto oysters with parsley gremolata
Kumamoto oysters are originally from Japan. But are grown here in Washington. They are smaller in size with a milder and sweeter flavor than the pacific oyster. This combined with a firmer texture and briny flavor make these the perfect oysters for shooting or on a half shell. wingmaster835 -
Lemon, caper, and olive fish with almond gremolata Lemon, caper, and olive fish with almond gremolata
As far as Hump Days go, today was pretty great. We finally caught a bit of a break and saw some sunshine after days and days of rain, and I received some good news at work that'll help me sleep a little better at night. So what better way to celebrate both, as well as the arrival of spring, than to whip up a fun, light meal full of bright flavours? This dish was the star, and made for the perfect exclamation point to the best day of 2022 so far. Robert Gonzal -

Roast pork with blueberry balsamic sauce and pistachio gremolata Roast pork with blueberry balsamic sauce and pistachio gremolata
Sunday dinner was pork roast, but I didn't feel like making just any ol' pork roast. My wife recently brought home a jar of chunky blueberry jam, and it occured to me that it, along with a bit of aged sweet balsamic, would make a wonderful sauce that'd not only be tasty, but a nice break from the usual apple. To jazz things up even more, I whipped up a super-easy gremolata with a handful of roasty pistachios mixed in. It was crunchy and bright and fresh, and worked perfectly with the meaty pork and tangy sauce. All-in-all, with only minimal extra effort, it turned out to be a pretty great Sunday dinner.
