Delia's menu for July
What a glorious summer menu this is: the starter and main course are perfect for hot weather - Camargue red rice salad and monkfish with a red pepper relish, while the dessert, pecan shortbreads with raspberry will make an impressive ending to a lovely meal.
Starter (recipe x 2)
Camargue Red Rice Salad with Feta Cheese
This is a lovely salad for outdoor eating on a warm, sunny summer's day.
Main course (recipe x 2)
Pepper-crusted Monkfish with Red Pepper Relish
This particular recipe would be a superb choice for someone who wants to cook something quite special but has very little time. The pieces of fish are coated with crushed mixed peppercorns and this simplest of sauces not only tastes divine but looks amazingly colourful in contrast to the fish.
Dessert
Pecan Shortbreads with Raspberries and Raspberry Puree
Use a combination of ready-made custard and crème fraîche to sandwich together crisp, wafer-thin pecan shortbreads, raspberries and raspberry purée and you have a real winner for summer entertaining. But don't be tempted to prepare these too far in advance, because once the filling goes in, the shortbreads begin to lose their crunchiness.
