Mussels

First welcome back, glad to be still cooking in 2012. The seasoning is starting to change so I wanted to work with some ingredients that would be fun and simple. Our first choice was Mussels,PEI blue mussels. White wine,garlic,tomato,Cayenne and fresh parsley. I made a fresh pasta dough and decided to use Annatto. A spice that can be used to color food. The results from my taste testers were FANTASTIC!  Send me any requests or questions to info@chefsed.com

CHEF PLATES!

This is a dish I put together real quick, it is pork with marinated peaches with a few green peas,  rum raisins and a little sauce. I made this because someone challenged me to plate something in a french style.It's called a Napoleon I marinated the peaches sous vide with a little vanilla and cinnamon with red pepper.

Enjoy!

SHRIMP and GRITS

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!!!!

GRILLED APPLES and PORK

So I made some food for a friend of mine. They requested something good, so you can't go wrong with APPLES and PORK, with a little crispy shallots. I am sorry I missed the month of April with no blogs.

CARNITAS!!!

Yeah I said it! I made this just because I saw Rick Bayless do it on TV and I thought it was kind of cool. Of course it is pulled pork that I made into a Terrine. I put a little GUAC and Black Beans with it, but i am working on a better plating idea for next time, but for now the technique worked out great.

A LITTLE R&R/ ROCKFISH and RISOTTO

Rockfish and Risotto! This was fun to make. I pan seared the skin to make it crispy. the Rissotto was mushroom and served with a pepper coulis and beurre blanc. A few mixed Micro greens on top to finish it off and it was FANTASTIC!
Enjoy!
