Powerful combination of mushrooms and seafood

From seafood pasta to casseroles, the combination of mushroom and seafood is healthy and heavenly.

Find out all the healthy benefits of mushroom on the 'POWER OF MUSHROOMS' website
Did you know, that...

• Mushrooms contain fewer kilojoules per 100g than almost any other food, making them ideal for anyone looking after their waistline.
• A single serve (three button mushrooms) has only 103 kJ.
• A single serve of mushrooms delivers 20% of your daily needs of a range of B group vitamins including riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and biotin.
• Mushrooms naturally have vitamin D. They are the only non-animal food to have natural vitamin D, generated automatically when they are exposed to light.
• The mushroom is ideally suited for weight control because it is low in fat and low in kilojoules making it suitable for everyone, including those who have heart disease or diabetes.
• Australian research suggests that women eating 10g mushrooms or more daily have a 50-65% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those women who don’t eat mushrooms. There are unique compounds in mushrooms that may protect us from both breast and prostate cancer.
• The mushroom has all the attributes of a superfood – nutrient-rich, flavour-rich, low in kilojoules, high in bioactive compounds, antioxidants, convenient and affordable.

King prawn salad with fresh peas

Created by Dennis Leslie

INGREDIENTS

3 red onions, cut into wedges
100ml balsamic vinegar
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch asparagus
400g fresh peas, shelled
6 tbsp almond paste
800g King Prawns
6 blood oranges, peeled, segmented
200g fresh rocket leaf
Extra virgin olive oil, for tossing

PREPARATION: 

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Place the red onion in a bowl. Toss in the balsamic and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast, in pre-heated oven, for 10 minutes, stirring midway through cooking. Remove from oven and set aside to cool in the juices.
3. Bend one asparagus spear until it snaps. This will tell you where to cut the rest of the bunch, discard the woody ends. Toss the spears in olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus until it starts to blacken slightly. Set aside.
4. Blanch the peas in a saucepan of hot water for 30 seconds. Refresh under cold running water, and set aside.
5. To make the dressing, in a bowl, combine the almond paste, about ¼ cup of olive oil, salt and pepper. Whisk until emulsified.
6. Toss the prawns in olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill for 1 minute on each side and place into a mixing bowl.
7. Place all the ingredients, plus the rocket, together in a bowl. Drizzle over the almond dressing. Garnish with blood orange to serve.

We love this article! Chef Tony Harts leaves his restaurant kitchen behind to cook on a limited budget… and buys his seafood at Cappo Seafood Parkside...

''The $15 Challenge was designed as a reminder that cooking good, healthy food is possible on a limited budget. It's especially timely with a recent South Australian Council of Social Service report finding that rising food costs mean low-income families are struggling to eat well.''

''From there, the noodles can easily be made with chicken or seafood or be kept vegetarian. Tony buys a single chicken leg fillet from Poultry Cuisine and then 100g of small shelled prawns from Cappo Seafood. Realising there is still plenty in the bank, he makes a second visit to Cappo for a whole squid. ''
