Using Costco Horned Turbot and Tilapia: Various Recipes Made with Seasonal Ingredients

If you have always cooked the ingredients purchased from Costco in the same way, you can compose your dining table through new combinations. According to the Salimman video, several recipes are introduced that can be enjoyed by utilizing various items such as Costco's seasonal horned turbot, tilapia, and figs.

Dishes Using Seasonal Horned Turbot and Barbecue Sauce

The 1.6kg capacity horned turbot sold at Costco (16,900 won) is a high-protein, low-calorie food rich in taurine and arginine. The peak season for horned turbot is from June to August. In the video, a method to make it in the style of the French dish 'Escargot' using this horned turbot was suggested. First, wash the horned turbot in cold water and boil it for about 15 minutes. After boiling, cool the turbot, remove the entrails, and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Complete the dish by mixing butter, 2.5 spoons of minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper to make a sauce, and cook it in an air fryer for 10 minutes. If you stir-fry the remaining turbot with pasta noodles, you can also enjoy it as horned turbot pasta.

Additionally, a pork belly barbecue recipe using 'Stubb's Legendary Bar-B-Q Sauce', which can be purchased for 18,990 won (on sale for 3,000 won until May 10), was introduced. This sauce, which started in Texas in 1986, has a tomato puree base, and is characterized by increasing acidity while providing a subtle barbecue aroma and a sweetness that is not excessive, enhancing the flavor of the meat. Season a whole piece of pork belly with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional paprika powder. After cooking the meat in an air fryer, cut it into bite-sized pieces, coat it with the sauce, and finally heat it in the air fryer for about 5 more minutes to complete.

Ways to Use Veggie Bread, Marinara Sauce, and Tilapia

Costco's 'Veggie Bread' (8,990 won for 10 pieces) is a vegetable-centered bread with a Spanish rye sourdough base containing lentils, tomatoes, ginger, and oregano. The video introduces ways to use this bread as a substitute for baguettes or sliced bread, or to use it for sandwiches. It is also suitable to eat with an olive oil-based sauce or with pasta.

A recipe for 'Organic Marinara Sauce' (14,990 won for 3 bottles) using overseas SNS recipes was also introduced. Spread the marinara sauce on the bottom, place a container of feta cheese and tomatoes on top, season with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake in an air fryer for 10 minutes. The flavor of the feta cheese and the acidity of the tomato sauce harmonize, and the finished dish goes well with pasta.

'Kirkland Tilapia' (25,990 won for 9 pieces), which is rich in protein, is a white-fleshed fish of the tilapia species originating from Africa and the Middle East. It is sold in fillet form, where humans directly clean and remove the bones. If cooked using the 'en papillote' method, where ingredients are wrapped in parchment paper and cooked like steaming, it can be enjoyed healthily while maintaining moisture. Adding 'bagel seasoning' along with olive oil during cooking can add more flavor.

Fig Salad and Potato Chip Honey Combination

A salad recipe using seasonal figs (9,290 won for 1kg) was also revealed. Spread the figs on the bottom of a plate, cover with wrap and press lightly, then layer arugula, jamon, ricotta cheese, olive oil, honey, and pistachios on top. The sweetness of the figs blends with the saltiness of the jamon, and the making process is fun, making it good to make with children.

The last snack combination introduced is the meeting of 'La Buera Potato Chips' (23,990 won for 6 packs) and 'Prosciutto' (14,490 won for 3 packs). Pairing prosciutto with La Buera Potato Chips completes a snack with enhanced flavor.
