ROASTED TOMATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize. Serve warm or at room temperature.
CRISPIEST EVER POTATOES
Somewhere between oven-roasted potatoes and crispy hash, these little creamer potatoes are boiled in water with baking soda before being smashed. The alkaline in the baking soda helps the skins crisp up quickly. Smashing increases their surface area and contact with the pan. The result is the crunchiest-ever crust.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
- Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
- Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.
SOUS VIDE ESCOLAR WITH SALSIFY PUREE, MARBLE POTATO, HEIRLOOM TOMATO AND FENNEL
Steps:
- For the salsify puree: Combine the cream, wine, salt, pepper, salsify, onions and potatoes in a saucepot. Wrap the thyme tightly in cheesecloth and add. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer and cook until the mixture is reduced by one-third and the vegetables are tender, 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Carefully remove the thyme pouch and discard. Puree the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- For the escolar: Meanwhile, if using the sous vide, heat water to 140 degrees F. Drizzle each portion of fish with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top each piece with 3 to 4 fresh tarragon leaves and place the fish into individual bags and vacuum seal. Cook the escolar pouches for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the bags and pat dry. Saute the fish in olive oil over high heat just long enough to lightly brown the outside.
- If not using the sous vide, saute the fish in some olive oil over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- For the vegetables: Saute the blanched potatoes until golden brown in a separate pan. Add the tomatoes and fennel and continue to saute until the tomatoes are warmed through but not cooked.
- To assemble, place a small pool of salsify puree in the center of a plate. Spoon a small pile of the vegetable mixture into the center of the puree. Rest the escolar atop the vegetables. Top with shaved truffles if available.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.
PAN-ROASTED SALSIFY
Salsify root is pan-roasted in ghee to give you an elegant dish to accompany your meal. Salsify may be grungy-looking, but that dirty exterior hides a delightful flavor. The mix of black, green, white, and red peppercorns give the dish a unique dimension of flavor. Use gloves when handling salsify to avoid the sticky juice getting on your hands.

Steps:
- Roughly crush peppercorns in a mortar. Set aside.
- Use rubber gloves at all times during the preparation of salsify. Rinse and scrub salsify under running water to eliminate the dirt. Peel with a vegetable peeler and rinse again. Cut into 3-inch pieces. Cut lengthwise in half or even in quarters, to get 3-inch-long and 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
- Melt ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sea salt and crushed peppercorns. Add salsify pieces and cover. Cook until browned, flipping pieces as needed, about 15 minutes. Place on a serving plate and top with dill before serving.

SPICY OSTRICH ROAST
I bought 800g Ostrich meat the other day and decided to make roast with it. I thought I would try something a little different as I have not done an ostrich in the oven that was not stuffed and then wrapped in bacon, so it still came out super tender as it should be. Ostrich is a very lean meat with virtually no fat on it, so over cooking it is a disaster. Prep time does not include sitting time.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic produce and high-quality meats and seafood.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to use salt and pepper to season your dishes. Salt helps to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients, while pepper adds a bit of spice. You can also use other seasonings, such as herbs, spices, and citrus zest.
- Cook Ostrich Properly: Ostrich is a lean meat, so it's important to cook it properly to avoid drying it out. Pan-roasting is a great way to cook ostrich, as it allows you to sear the outside of the meat while keeping the inside moist and tender.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that your ostrich is cooked to the proper temperature, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature of ostrich should be 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 140 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 150 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- Make a Flavorful Sauce: A flavorful sauce can really elevate a dish. For this recipe, the glace des Medoc adds a rich, complex flavor to the ostrich and vegetables.
Conclusion:
This pan-roasted ostrich recipe is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The ostrich is cooked to perfection, and the crispy sweetbreads, salsify puree, potato puree, oven-dried tomatoes, pencil asparagus, enoki mushrooms, and glace des Medoc add a variety of flavors and textures that make this dish truly unforgettable.
