Salad Trial
I steamed leek tops in bamboo steamers to tenderize this part of the vegetable. Turned out a little yellowish. Might hit it with baking soda and or lemon to keep its color. Julienne cucumber and zucchini crisped in ice water. Turnip leaves. Artichoke hearts. Lemon Zest. Minced Garlic. Parmesan. Some shaved fresno pepper.
Ok. Probably a little too busy visually or too many ingredients.
Root Vegetable Soup
Mirepoix and leek sweated then potato, yam and acorn squash. Finished with parmesan tuille and fried spring onion. Also dollops of garlic/cauliflower puree.
Had some beef tenderloin leftover from work. Sliced thin and garnished with enoki mushrooms.
Made a consomme from beef stock and enriched it with some aromatics and beef trimming and seaweed. I would like to try whole coffee beans sometime. Clarified with egg white raft.
Poured over beef and mushroom. Garnished with nori and fried onion roots. The roots might need to be blanched first before fried to make more tender.
yes.
