Seafood Pie with Caper Rosti Topping
This is a very quick and easy recipe to throw together and it tastes great, you can play around with the ingredients to add your favourite seafood. The longest part of this whole thing is grating the potatoes for the rosti. It was a trial recipe and both my hubby and I enjoyed this.

If you have read the earlier post I wrote on the natural cutting boards I brought back from OZ you can find a description with a couple of photos under my natures cutting boards page. I will be uploading more photos once I can get something nice as a backing to make them stand out. I will also let you know the separate web address for them once it is finished.

This is the recipe I made to go with the duck breast with the fig sauce I made the other night both by the same recipezaar chef. It was a lovely way to serve asparagus very light, and refreshing and makes a wonderful side dish. If you want to read more reviews or see more photos of this recipe please click here.
