Sauces to Die For: Spanish Green (Parsley) Sauce 1
Переглядів 7621 годину тому
This lesson is Spanish Green Sauce, which is parsley based. This sauce is commonly served in Spain with seafood but it’s really versatile, so it can be served with almost anything. This version uses chicken stock because I plan to use it with pork. If I were making it for use with fish, I would use fish stock or clam juice, or a combination, instead of chicken stock. - John Hornick Preparation ...

Spain On A Small Plate: Roasted Red Bell Pepper Ventresca Tuna Rolls
Переглядів 6221 день тому
This is my take on a recipe from a book called “Tapas” published by Paragon Books. My version modifies the marinade or dressing and I use Ventresca. What is Ventresca you ask? Well, Ventresca, which hails from Basque country in Spain, is the epitome of canned tuna. To make Ventresca, tuna belly, which is the prime cut of the fish, is gently poached in olive oil, making it rich, creamy, and melt...
Spain On A Small Plate: Manchego & Jamon Croquette

This lesson is Manchego and Serrano Jamon Croquettes. Manchego is a great Spanish cheese and Serrano ham, or Jamon, is found hanging from shop and restaurant ceilings all over Spain. The batter for these croquettes is basically a thick bechamel sauce. Together, these components make decadently gooey ham and cheese croquettes. I use a small dollop of my Okonomiyaki sauce from my Japanese Faves s...
Spain On A Small Plate: Iberico Pork Pluma with Spanish Green Sauce 1

Iberico pork comes from black pigs bred to have a higher fat content, which makes it tender, juicy, and guaranteed to impress pork lovers everywhere. It’s kind of like the Wagyu of the pork world (see my Wagyu Beef lesson in my Japanese Faves series. The Pluma is a highly marbled cut from the neck end of the loin. It’s very tender and has great flavor. It’s actually my favorite cut. I provide s...

    Hmmm…. Any Japanese person, chef or not, will have some misgivings about your techniques. You are missing about 10 key techniques that most Japanese people would consider key for this recipe. I’ll just list the most important ones. 1. You overcooked your pork and overstirfried your veggies. This dish would typically call for most of the cooking to happen in the broth not in the oil. 2. Please don’t boil your miso. You will notice a big penalty on the flavor. 3. Most Japanese would skim the foam and fat off the soup. Yours didn’t form much because you spent too much time frying. So a glaze formed between the starches in the pan and the fat, and this emulsified into the stock like a roux. If you prefer your way, I think that’s fine. It’s more like Italian or Chinese or Mexican soup now.

    Glutamate is the anion of glutamic acid, an amino acid that serves as an important neurotransmitter and the precursor of GABA, a neurotransmitter that has a calming effect on the brain. Cysteine and protamine are semi-essential amino acids, meaning our body can synthesize them, but possibly not in sufficient amounts for health, especially pregnant women, children, and if you are sick or injured. Histidine is an essential amino acid. My takeaway is that kokumi is a natural reward mechanism for consuming foods rich in nutrients that are essential or close to it.

No lol like the word literally begins with kat... obviously thats where it comes from and the word is long so when youre talking in natural language you will shorten it. westerners especially will just say kat rice aka Cat rice
