Time 3h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 pound sweetbreads
1 gallon court bouillon
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
1 lemon, juiced
1 lemon, juiced
8 fresh salsify roots
1 cup heavy cream, heated
1/2 pound butter, melted and warm
2 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled
1/4 cup heavy cream, heated
1/4 pound butter, melted and warm
4 Roma tomatoes
2 to 3 extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound butter, divided
3 shallots, sliced
3 cup Medoc wine
1 quart veal stock
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 (8-ounce) ostrich steaks
Cooked spinach, for serving
Blanched asparagus, for serving
Sauteed enoki mushrooms, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring court bouillon to a simmer in a saucepan. Add sweetbreads and poach for approximately 9 minutes. Remove sweetbreads and discard liquid. Press sweetbreads between 2 sheet trays until completely cool. Peel membranes and separate into bite-size
  • pieces.
  • Just before serving, dust sweetbreads with flour, shaking off excess. Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, add sweetbreads, and sear until crispy. Add lemon juice to deglaze the pan. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, bring several inches of water and the lemon juice to a simmer. Peel salsify and add to acidulated water; simmer until very tender. Strain and then transfer salsify to the bowl of a food processor. Add cream and melted butter and puree until smooth. The consistency should be more like a sauce than a puree. Keep warm.
  • In a saucepan, simmer potatoes in water until tender. Strain and then put potatoes through a potato ricer. In a medium bowl, whip potatoes potatoes with hot cream and butter. Keep warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Slice tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a medium bowl, toss tomatoes with olive oil. Arrange tomato slices on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Set aside.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan. Add shallots and saute until beginning to brown. Add wine and stir to deglaze the pan. Cook until wine is reduced to a syrup. Add veal stock and reduce until sauce consistency. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, and swirl to combine. Keep warm.
  • Melt oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season ostrich with salt and pepper. When pan is hot, add ostrich and sear on both sides until cooked to a medium doneness; it will not take long, as ostrich cooks very quickly and is not good when over-cooked. Reserve and keep warm. It may be necessary to sear the ostrich in 2 batches, so as not to over-crowd the pan.
  • To serve, layer potatoes with spinach and tomatoes in a 2-inch ring mold. Place a pretty oval of potato on top with another dried tomato. Spoon a thin line of salsify puree onto the plate. Slice the ostrich on a sharp bias and place it next to the potato stack. Garnish with sweetbreads, asparagus, and enoki mushrooms. Drizzle Medoc reduction around the plate.

KONA K'S BULGOGI WITH ENOKI MUSHROOMS (KOREAN BBQ)



Kona K's Bulgogi With Enoki Mushrooms (Korean BBQ) image

I've tweaked several different bulgogi recipes to come up with this. The enoki mushrooms add a nice touch. You can in/decrease amount of garlic according to personal preference. NOTE -- if you want to halve this recipe, do not change the amount of sugar, vegetable oil, and sesame oil. The flavors become really off if you halve those ingredients.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup dark soy sauce (I use the low sodium version)
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 -2 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lbs sirloin steaks, finely sliced against grain
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
2 cups enoki mushrooms, cleaned

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except enoki mushrooms. Mix well and let marinate overnight in refrigerator (NOTE -- if you're short on time, you can skip this overnight step, but I would recommend marinating for at least 30 minutes).
  • Grill beef over medium-high heat. You might want to add some vegetable oil to the pan to prevent beef from sticking.
  • When beef is almost cooked, add the enoki mushrooms. You only want to cook the mushrooms for about 2 minutes.
  • Serve with white rice.
