Best 7 Flash Marinated Tuna On Fennel Salad And Tangerine Tomato Coulis Recipes

MONTE'S HAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300 degrees. Cut off the ham's tough outer skin and excess fat, and discard. Put ham in a large roasting pan. With a long, sharp knife score it, making crosshatch incisions all over the ham about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart.
• Roast the ham on the lower middle level of the oven for two hours. Remove it from oven, and increase heat to 350 degrees.
• For the glaze, stir together the orange marmalade, mustard and brown sugar in a medium-size bowl. Stud ham with cloves, inserting one at the intersection of each crosshatch. Brush entire surface of ham generously with glaze, and return to the oven. Reserve some of the glaze.
• Cook ham 1 1/2 hours more, brushing with glaze at least three times. Transfer ham to a cutting board or platter, and allow it to rest for about 30 minutes. Carve and serve warm or at room temperature.

FLASH-MARINATED TUNA ON FENNEL SALAD AND TANGERINE TOMATO COULIS

Steps:

• Put the fish slices in a large bowl. Pull off and discard the two tough outer layers of the fennel bulb. Cut off and discard the stalks. Cut out the tough core; cut the bulb in half and then across in paper-thin slices. Add the fennel and the scallion slices to the fish. In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons olive oil with the lemon juice, the chopped mint and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix gently with the fish. Cover and set in a chilled place for 10 minutes, no longer.
• Set aside 36 of the tiny currant tomatoes. Put the rest, along with the pieces of Tangerine tomatoes, through a food mill set over a 2-quart stainless-steel bowl. In a small bowl, mix the sherry vinegar, 1/8 teaspoon of cumin and minced garlic. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil until emulsified. Whisk into the liquefied tomatoes. Add more cumin if needed and sea salt to taste.
• To assemble, divide the Tangerine tomato coulis among six 10-inch dinner plates, making a neat pool on the bottom of each plate. Mix the mesclun with the marinated tuna, adding 3 tablespoons of the sherry vinegar or to taste.
• Divide the tuna salad among the plates, putting a mound in the center of each. Near the edge of each plate, make a border of 6 evenly spaced currant tomatoes.

TOMATO FENNEL SALAD

Steps:

• Core the tomatoes and cut into wedges. Remove the top of the fennel (save some fronds for garnish) and slice the bulb very thinly crosswise with a knife or on a mandoline.
• Toss the tomatoes and fennel in a bowl with the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds, season to taste, and serve.

AVGOLEMONO

Steps:

• In a stainless steel bowl, whip the egg yolks with a pinch of salt.
• In a separate stainless steel bowl fitted for a double boiler, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy. Fold the yolks into the whites, blending well.
• Bring a saucepan or the bottom of a double boiler filled with water to a simmer.
• In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch into the lemon juice and whisk into the egg mixture. Put the bowl over the pot of simmering water, whisking constantly. In about 4 minutes, the mixture will lighten in color and the sauce will thicken. Gradually add the reserved cup of hot chicken stock to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Continue cooking and whisking 2 minutes longer, until the avgolemono thickens. Keep warm if necessary in the double boiler, off the heat. Add to the chicken soup right before serving.

30-VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Rinse the beans in a colander, and transfer to a large, nonreactive bowl. Cover with water by 2 inches, and let soak in a cool place overnight uncovered. Drain, and transfer to a 9- to-10-quart heavy pot. Add 8 cups of water and the fresh or dried herbs. Cook at a gentle boil for about 60 minutes, or until tender. Add the plum tomatoes, and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, and cool slightly.
• Puree the beans, tomatoes and all liquid in batches in a food processor. Return to the pot, and add all the vegetables except the spinach, Swiss chard and red chard. Season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add small amounts of water just to cover the vegetables. Cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adding more water if necessary. Add the spinach, Swiss chard and red chard. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, stirring.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and red pepper to taste. Accompany with a cruet of olive oil for drizzling into the soup and, if desired, croutons.
