Delicious in Dungeon #58: Green Dragon Acqua Pazza

A green dragon! Don't worry, its not a very big one.


Instead of a big roast up this time, we have... a seafood dish?? Yep that's right.
,

The dragon meat is cooked in wyvern's fire and apparantly tastes like a chimney stack.. i wont go that far but ill get some smoked duck breast for the meat. And for nightmares, last time we used clams but I couldn't easily find any so I got mussels, though they come in a garlic sauce... and to round that out we got some squid ink spaghetti and seaweed salt.


This recipe doesn't contain pasta, but i don't feel like eating plain meat with nothing else, so im adding a bit for the base. Plus the whole dish is boiled in sea water, which i'm also not going to do to the pre-cooked meats we have. We're really making do here. Anyway, adding a little too much salt to the pasta water instead, for the sea water. goody.


This dragon breast is already smoked, but I want to sear it a bit so its warm and tasty.


I swear i didn't do anything to this spaghetti! It just seems to be falling apart on its own. Well, unless it was the salt water? It was a really cheap discounted pack though.


While the spaghetti is draining, we can heat the mussels as well. They came in a sauce, which is probably nicer than just salt flavour.


Pouring some of the sauce straight on the pasta and then ill arrange some mussels on the plate.


For a final touch, ill season it with seaweed salt for the seawater flavour (unenthusiastically) and I also have some bonito flakes, those are seafoody and smoky!

Well, at least it doesn't taste like seawater and chimney smoke. It's actually fine, I guess.. It tastes like mussels and smoked meat, two things I don't particularly go out of my way for. I was also disappointed that the spaghetti fell apart into little bits, making it annoying to eat. The duck was nice, but the added salt and overall seafood flavour didnt do much for it. I don't think its bad, but I don't like it.
