in EggHead Forum
Surf IN Turf - Sorry, this page will load slow.

Took some Prosciutto, layered with cold smoked salmon, then ahi tuna.  Added salt, some cucumber, green onions, sesame seeds and Japanese 7-spice.  sprinkled with a binder (thanks CT!), rolled it up and vacu-sucked it, let it rest overnight.  Then cut off a chunk, coated with sesame oil and seared at 500-ish for a few minutes.  Cut it up and ate it. It was really good.  The kitten was in my face (shouldn't have given him a taste.

SWMBO is working all weekend, so just cooked one to try out for a late lunch.

The sauces are soy, ponzu and oyster, chili-garlic, wasabi.

Wanted to do something different. Thanks for looking.   -nola

    Thanks man.  I would have included my drink pairing...but a coozie of Coke zero loaded with a lethal amount of Evan Williams didn't look too sexy.

    That stuff is off the handle!  I was reading up on it, and it basically glues anything together with amino acids - protein - in it.  So you can use it to make everything from veggie burgers to Franken-food.  I was going to plant some pegs in the side like Frankenstein, but I already have about 3 hours and $40 bucks invested in this (but lots of leftover salmon and prosciutto!).  There's absolutely no added taste with that stuff...fish tasted fresh, and the smoked salmon and ham worked.  I was a little worried, but then again, for LS's throwdown, it doesn't matter if it tastes good or not.

    Yep- it's the secret ingredient for stuff like you just did. And you can slice it razor thin and the prosciutto will stay on. That's the downfall with toothpicks. When you slice, it all falls apart. with the secret meat love, it all magically stays together. I'm glad you made something cool with it. I'm all fired up now to do something weird.

    I'm pissed I was too incoherent to get my share. I blame the wife lady for hurrying me.

    @travisstrick I've got a whole DP shaker full of it, I'll send you some.  PM me your mailing address.  Little bit goes a long way.

    I was going to originally glue sea scallops together with duck breast and wrap the whole thing in bacon, then sous vide and sear (I figured sea scallops and duck breast are both done at 130-ish and it would be a weird twist on surf n turf.)

    it bonds any protein to any other protein. it's a naturally occurring enzyme that is in plants, animals and bacteria. You eat it all the time (deli meat, sausage, chicken nuggets etc). It's widely used commercially for many reasons but it's really cool to do high end food preps with too.

    I'll never plate like him.  I tried making a radish flower garnish but completely screwed it up.
