Chef Ana's Perspective ## Chef's Notes I would build one meal around Lemon Pistachio-Crusted Halibut and Garlic Butter Cauliflower Steaks, adding Wild Rice Pilaf with Dried Cherries, Pecans and Herbs according to appetite. For another, I would pair Italian Prawns with Tomato, Basil, Kalamata Olives and Sourdough Bread with Low Carb Zucchini & Yellow Squash Gratin. Since the prawns already include bread, I would save the rice for the halibut rather than put every starch on both plates. **Read the full notes** For leftover Lemon Pistachio-Crusted Halibut, I recommend reheating a single portion uncovered at 350°F, checking after 10 minutes and continuing until the center is hot. Garlic Butter Cauliflower Steaks can go alongside it, though thick pieces may need 15–20 minutes. I would refrigerate both within two hours and use them within three to four days, freezing portions intended for later. I flag two separate tree nuts in this menu: pistachios in Lemon Pistachio-Crusted Halibut and pecans in Wild Rice Pilaf with Dried Cherries, Pecans and Herbs. Parmesan Roasted Acorn Squash and Garlic Butter Cauliflower Steaks also make dairy relevant when discussing substitutions. For a nut allergy, I would discuss changing both the halibut crust and the pilaf before cooking; removing a visible garnish would not address either dish.
