Wild Boar Mirchi Baji
This recipe is a flavorful twist on Mirchi Baji, a popular Indian street food made with green chilies dipped in a spiced chickpea flour batter and fried until crispy. Traditionally, Mirchi Baji uses long green peppers like banana or bhavnagari chilies, but here, we’re elevating the dish by using Anaheim peppers and stuffing them with a savory boar sausage mixture. The result is a heartier version of the classic snack, perfect as an appetizer or a bold side dish.
Daal Gosht (Meat and Lentils)
This hearty and aromatic dish is a modern take on Daal Gosht, a beloved dish with deep roots in Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Traditionally, Daal Gosht combines tender meat, often lamb or goat, with lentils simmered slowly in a fragrant mixture of spices, creating a rich, comforting meal that's perfect for family gatherings or special occasions. For this recipe you may use any hearty game meat. I recommend wild boar or deer.
Ponzu Ginger Goose
This goose recipe is inspired by one of my favorite Chinese takeout dishes, Mongolian Beef.
The goose breasts are first salted and rested, then sliced and seasoned before being briefly fried to achieve a crispy exterior while remaining tender inside. The accompanying sauce, a harmonious blend of caramelized onion, aromatic ginger and garlic, and a balance of Worcestershire and Ponzu, is enhanced with a touch of brown sugar for depth and richness. Finished with a brief simmer, this dish is perfect served over rice, with a sprinkle of furikake and a kick of pickled chilies.
Tuna Kama
It’s time to utilize one of the most interesting and forgotten parts of a tuna: the collar, also known as Kama. It has the best parts of tuna all in one cut, offering the deep red, soulful meat, and the super fatty and decadent meat. It’s the best of both worlds, and we are going to grill it with some Indian flair!
Braised Rockfish/Lingcod in Ginger Soy Broth
This rockfish recipe is a versatile and elegant way to highlight the delicate flavors of mild white fish such as lingcod, halibut, or rockfish. Poaching the fish in a fragrant broth of soy sauce, ginger, and green onions ensures that the fish remains tender and moist, while the aromatic rice adds a subtle layer of flavor. The finishing touch of hot oil poured over fresh herbs creates an enticing sizzle, releasing their natural oils and aromas, making this dish truly special. This method of cooking is ideal for preserving the soft, flaky texture of these mild fish, allowing their natural flavors to shine without being overwhelmed. Whether you're preparing a quick weeknight dinner or impressing guests with a refined dish, this recipe is one of the best ways to enjoy the pure, subtle taste of fresh, delicate fish
Bourbon and Earl Grey Tea Cured Tuna
This way of preparing tuna is a nice change-up. Each ingredient imparts a recognizable flavor, but does not take away from the tuna. The bourbon sweetness shines through, the bergamot from the earl grey provides a pleasant aroma, and the heat from the togarashi elegantly tickles your taste buds. The best part of all, the cure changes the texture of the tuna and gives it a slightly chewier and firm bite. You won’t be disappointed with this interesting way of eating tuna!
Crab Tikki
This is a tasty spin on traditional Aloo Tikki. Aloo Tikki is a classic Indian snack that is a potato patty that’s crisped up and bursting with delicious spice or what we Indians call “chatpatta”, and what chef Gaggan Anand calls Indian umami. Spicy, Sweet, Salty, and Sour.
Rosemary Lemon Wild Boar Chops
Sometimes we just need some meat and potatoes. This recipe should satiate any meat craving with perfectly seared chops and buttery starch
Berbere Spiced Fried Rockfish
This rockfish recipe is easy to prepare, quick, and packs a huge amount of flavor. The key is the berbere spiced batter.
