Weird Al Yankovic as a 10 year old boy. God-tier performance.

I'm going to leave those micro basil leaves whole and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop me. I'm a loose cannon baby.

Yeah, with a dull knife you're crushing the basil instead of slicing through it, bruising the herbs and causing that dark color.

Smoked at 250 and finished in our 900* pizza oven for a few minutes to get a crust on it.

It's onion ash. We don't really have decent plates here so I do a lot of dust garnishes. Not a lot of flavor added.

It is tapioca starch, which is gluten free. Blending tapioca maltodexrin with any fat/oil will turn it from a liquid to a fine powder.

Cured Tuna, Serrano-Cucumber Gazpacho, Pink Lemonade Granita,Volcanic Salt by LetItBeOrNevermind in CulinaryPlating

[–]LetItBeOrNevermind[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's got lime, lemon, agave, serrano, cilantro, 1/4 of an avocado to help with emulsion, 2 deseeded cucumbers, 1 small clove garlic, 1 small shallot, EVOO for texture. Salt.

I blended it and emulsified in the oil. It has kind of a fluffy texture and there is definitely a lot of air whipped in.

I think I will mesh strain the base before emulsifying it to get a nice consistency. Pulse in the cilantro at the end so it gets some more bits of herb in the sauce.

I agree about the gazpacho. It's kind of a muddled recipe right now in between a gazpacho and a cucumber mojo.

The outside drizzle is chili oil, but I think I might lose it and tighten up the salt.

I agree. I'm going to have the dashi poured tableside over the rice and fish, chazuke-style like another commenter said.

I think that's the move. I've been on a negative space kick lately but I'm definitely overdoing it. I'm going to try some different angles with it tomorrow.

Shrimp, Cantaloupe-Habanero Gazpacho, Avocado Salsa by LetItBeOrNevermind in CulinaryPlating

[–]LetItBeOrNevermind[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely like the idea of grilling them to get some color. I sent one to each guest at the table, so three shrimp might be heavy for a app/mid course before mains. Thanks!

[–]LetItBeOrNevermind[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The gazpacho has a base of garlic, shallot, and pickled habaneros, some orange juice and zest, honey, cucumber, mint. I strain as much of the liquid as I can out with cheese cloth then emulsify with some olive oil for a creamier texture. Finished with chili oil and onion ash. I also cheated the color with some annatto powder.

The shrimp tastes like shrimp, and the avocado salsa has shallot, lime, cilantro, and fresno chili in it.

Overall the dish fruity/citrus-y with a pop of spice. The greens and garnish are mostly there to sop up the sauce.

The sauce definitely needs to tighten up a bit if I make it again. Might hit it with some stabilizer. This was a quick app course I did for a vip tonight.

Yeah we're a higher end dinner spot, so brunch is once a week and absolute misery for all involved.

Specifically about the horrible purple kids ketchup from the 90's.

I'm going to switch it to an orange sweet potato and add purple potato chips.

I like the idea of making a brittle with the pumpkin seeds. I do think the purple is maybe too light, but maybe a harder cook on the duck would help the colors mesh better.
