New York Strip Steak with Blue Cheese Bacon Crumble & Panko Onion Rings<\/h4>\n

\"New<\/a>\"Oceania<\/a>If you thought that America\u2019s greatest pleasure was pizza, you\u2019ve probably never tried a NY strip steak, it\u2019s tender and beautifully marbled with fat. We’ve recreated this pastime favourite from Oceania’s classic steakhouse restaurant, Polo Grill, best known for their mouthwatering beef dishes. To replicate the tenderness and flavour of their steak , we\u2019ve kept our preparation simple \u2013 translation, we’ve basted it with lots of butter!\"Polo-Grill_Oceania-Cruises-1x56\"<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t call it American cuisine sans the crispy bacon, so we\u2019ve topped this succulent steak with a bacon and blue cheese crumble.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the ultimate onion rings, we\u2019ve dredged in seasoned flour and egg before coating with panko bread crumbs, which add an unmatched crunchy texture. The sweetness of the onions also complements the pleasantly salty bacon and creamy blue cheese.<\/p>\n

Oven-Baked Triple Decker Croque Monsieur with French Fries<\/h4>\n

\"Oven<\/a>\"Oceania<\/a>When it comes to exceptional food, French cuisine arguably has the finest repertoire \u2013 from laid-back bistro-style dishes to top-notch haute cuisine, they have it all. Oceania\u2019s The Bistro at the Grand Dining Room has a diverse cuisine offering, but their French cuisine is immaculate. Inspired by their menu, we’ve made a classic and coveted French dish \u2014 croque monsieur.<\/p>\n

When Oceania Cruises claim that they have the \u2018Finest Cuisine at Sea\u24c7<\/sup>, they mean it; this is no ordinary sandwich, it\u2019s a triple-decker Eiffel Tower of croque monsieurs!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Oceania<\/p>\n

After cooking a roux<\/a>, we added some milk and Dijon mustard for the perfect, velvety Mornay sauce to create our sandwich. Layering each piece of toast with decadent sauce, wholegrain mustard<\/a> for a mild kick, a generous sprinkling of Gruy\u00e8re cheese and gypsy ham. We\u2019ve then grilled it to golden perfection and garnished with fresh chives, a little fresh watercress rocket and, of course, a side of tasty French fries \u2014 c\u2019est magnifique<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Gnocchi in a Creamy Basil Pesto Sauce<\/h4>\n

\"Gnocchi<\/a>\"Oceania<\/a>Mentally, we\u2019re basking in the Tuscan sun, eating Mediterranean food, physically, we\u2019re in the heart of winter in South Africa \u2014 so, we figured, the next best thing was to head to the kitchen, turn up the volume on \u2018Volare\u2019 and recreate this comforting bowl of Gnocchi di Patate al Pesto. Inspired by Oceania\u2019s Italian restaurant, Toscana \u2014 this dish is influenced by rich Tuscan cuisine and generational recipes from Oceania’s Italian\u00a0famiglia<\/em>.\"Oceania<\/p>\n

Making gnocchi from scratch is actually a lot simpler than you think, the only effort required is the kneading, the hand-rolling is all fun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Once cooked, the gnocchi is toasted in a pan with some butter till golden brown. We\u2019ve topped the pillowy gnocchi with a blended mixture of basil pesto and cr\u00e8me fr\u00e2iche to create a creamy basil pesto sauce \u2013 it\u2019s so simple but the nutty and zesty notes from the pine nuts and lemon zest in the pesto impart heaps of flavour.<\/p>\n

Simply season with sea salt and pepper, add a drizzle of luscious extra virgin olive oil and finish with a couple of Parmigiano Reggiano shavings, belissimo<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Crispy Ginger Calamari with Homemade Sweet Chilli Sauce<\/h4>\n

\"Crispy<\/a>\"Oceania<\/a>It\u2019s no secret that Capetonians can\u2019t get enough of calamari. We\u2019ve decided to put a South-East Asian spin on this favourite \u2014 taking inspiration from Oceania’s Red Ginger restaurant version, which offers an array of classic Asian dishes with a contemporary spin.<\/p>\n

\"Red-Ginger-Oceania-Cruises-1x56.\"<\/p>\n

Instead of grilling it, we\u2019ve given our calamari some texture and made it crispy with a ginger-infused flour coating. The ginger adds a delicious heat and flavour to the meaty yet tender calamari, which we\u2019ve soaked in buttermilk before coating and frying.<\/p>\n

To take this dish to the next level, we\u2019ve fried off some garlic slices, which add a deliciously fragrant note to each bite.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For a hint of acidity and to balance all the flavours, we\u2019ve pickled some thinly sliced shallots in red wine vinegar and garnished our calamari with some chopped coriander for a pop of freshness. And, of course, calamari isn\u2019t complete without a delicious dipping sauce, so we\u2019ve whipped together a homemade sweet chilli sauce \u2014 this dish has every element you want and more.<\/p>\n
