Wild boar!

30/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Here is how the wild boar ended up. I braised it in wine, garlic, fennel, herbs for several hours. Then shredded it.
I saved the cooking liquor/juices along with the onions from the roasting tray. Crushed them with some chopped tomatoes and added some green peppercorns  and some basil to make the sauce.
Thus creating my ragu of wild boar. Very meaty. Very delicious. Finished with flat leaf parsley and Pecorino cheese.

Inspired by last week's live chat from @soignefood & @brokedinner I've sourced some Wild Boar. I'll be slamming this beautiful shoulder in the over with garlic, onions, fennel, white wine, celery, thyme and more garlic for several hours. Then it'll be either fresh pasta or gnocchi. And sundried tomato ragu sauce. . . No tweezers required □ . . #Pubchef #chef #ipswich #suffolk #gastropub #chef #soignefood #wildboar

Smoked salmon scotch eggs

23/1/2018

I will update this with a recipe as soon as I get a bit more time. If you want to have a go at making these, then I can tell you that I started with my Salmon Burger mix, which is Salmon, egg whites, chopped shallots, dill, black pepper and lemon zest.  I added some smoked salmon trimmings to this.
I then pulsed it all together in a robo-coupe (Food processor). This mix is then wrapped around a coddled egg (Boiled for 2 minutes, rest in the water for 8 minutes).
Finally I rolled them in flour, whisked egg and then breadcrumbs. 

To cook, they were deep fried for 4 minutes at 180 degrees. Then into an oven for another 4 minutes. Although these timings are not 100% accurate just a guide. 

I hope to have these on the menu at the weekend as part of the Burn's night menu.

rose harissa roasted cauliflower

22/1/2018

Here is a new vegan classic which was inspired by those news headlines about the Cauliflower Steaks. Although it was quite amusing to watch how this all played out in the media. I was curious to know how difficult it was to be able to slice a cauliflower into a steak. Turns out, it was not difficult at all. You just need a quality, sharp knife and a very fresh vegetable.
I did need to slice the cauliflower quite think. Once cut, I brushed it with some Harissa paste and a little extra sea salt. Then laid it on some parchment paper and roasted it in a hot oven 200 degrees Celsius, until tender.  Should take 5 to 6 minutes.
This was served at the pub with Israeli giant couscous which had been cooked in a light vegetable stock, drained, seasoned and mixed with some roasted carrot, peppers and sun-blushed tomatoes.
You can see on my Instagram post that I also served it with a roasted red onion.  This dish had no sauce, but the onion brought a little moisture to the dish. 
​

Back to cooking. Last night's #Vegan dish was this Rose Harissa cauliflower with roasted vegetable Israeli couscous. I was happy with how It turned out and It went down well. With M&S getting bad press this week about their cauliflower steaks, I thought I'd see how tricky it was to slice this vegetable yourself. It's not. I'll put full recipe on my website in the next 24 hours. . . My cookery workshop will be back soon. I just need to finish my self assessment tax return. All that grown-up stuff needs to be taken care of first. □ . . . #chef #ipswich #suffolk #gastropub #learntocook #Kobsuffolk #KobAtelier

Tandoori skate wing

22/1/2018

Here is a dish which I am very proud of. It always goes down well at the pub and  is very simple to prepare.
The Skate wing is marinated in a mix of Turmeric, fennel seeds, garam masala, garlic, fresh chilli, fresh ginger, dried corainder, cumin seeds and fresh coriander.
Now, I know not every home will have all these spices and ingredients, or maybe you do, but have never used them. I can say that just using a general curry powder seasoning will work as well.
  • Trim the skate wings to your preference. rub them with the spices and a little olive oil. 
  • Leave to marinade in a fridge for a couple of hours
  • When you are ready to cook the wings, I start by searing them quite aggressively in a pan with some butter/ghee. Then transferring then to an ovenproof dish and roasting them 
  • the oven should be set to 200c. A 300g wing will take around 5 minutes.
  • This is a dish which will go great with salad, Bombay potatoes or just some plain rice.
  • Once you remove it from the oven, you can check that its cooked by how easily the middle joint bone comes away.
  • Skate does not keep very well, so it's always a good idea to cook it on the day of purchase.
  • Any questions, please get in touch. Leave a comment below and i'll get back to you.
