Sashimi in Hawaii

Fish Peruvian Style

Great photo. In Mexico, this method of fish cookery might be called Veracruz. I think it is the acid in the tomatoes that really compliments the flaky white fish. Here is my recipe for Corvina a la Chorrillana. Enjoy!

Hawaiian style pizza

People in Hawaii don't actually eat this style of pizza. It got its name from the pineapple topping. Someone thought, "hey, that's Hawaiian." The local cuisine in Hawaii is so diverse with many Asian influences that pizza is not a favorite food.

 It is easy to see why so many vegetarians gravitate to Indian cuisine. Chick Peas (Garbanzo) are an excellent source of protein and very good when heavily spiced.

I love spicy pork dumplings. The problem is what to drink with them. We prefer a sparkling wine like a Spanish Cava. A nice glass of Chabernet with Chinese Food.

The Basil was not burned

How did they avoid turning that Basil black? I hope they didn't under-cook the pizza. When I ordered this style of pizza in Naples, they cooked the pizza, took it out and added basil, then back in the oven for a few seconds. Best Pizza Margherita we ever ate was in Naples, Italy.



I like this along with a classic Caesar Salad:

Thought that said Breakfast Wine

Thought that said Breakfast Wine - Imgur

 I'm not sure what a tonic wine is. In the old days, almost all wine was considered medicinal and was flavored with botanicals. Vermouth is a good example. The breakfast buffets in the better hotels in Europe will have wine on the sideboard - both sparkling and still. Make mine a Chabernet.

Ravioli Surprise

 The surprise is an egg yolk, perfectly cooked inside the ravioli. The brown butter sauce is flavored with bacon and sage.

This is an Amber Dream. I said "attitude" because the image looks off kilter like it could use a good gyroscope. The clear liquid is dry vermouth, more than most people would pour, and the amber is Chartreuse.

Flank Steak Marinade

My father broiled flank steak “back in the day” when it was an inexpensive cut of beef used mostly in long braises. His secret was an acidic marinade that permeated the meat, rather than just coating the surface as is the case with 9 out 10 recipes. As my father would say, if you don’t like your steak on the rare side, you’re not invited. It remains one of my favorite steaks to prepare at home because it has the beefiest flavor and most appealing texture. I also enjoy the family style service from a plate piled high with juicy slices rather than the boring “cut it yourself” steakhouse style. The sliced meat also pairs well with Asian and Latin unlike whole steak.
Marinate the flank steak for no more than 3 hours in the refrigerator (or 1 hour on the counter if you’re rushed). Grill the meat over very high heat for no more than 5 minutes. If the cross hatch of grill marks is your thing, rotate the steak 45 degree after 2 ½ minute, flip it over at 5 minutes, rotate again at 7 ½ minutes and then remove it from the grill at 10 minutes or when it just springs back when pressed with your finger. Let it rest for 10 minutes covered with a piece of aluminum foil.
Slice the meat on the diagonal against the grain in slices no more than 1/8” thick. Top the sliced steak with some splashes of the reserved marinade just before serving. Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Suggestions: Sprinkle with Fajita Seasoning, add a squeeze of lime and you will have some awesome beef to wrap in Tortillas. Also, it’s great the next day for steak sandwiches.

Marinated Flank Steak Recipe

• Yield: 6 Servings
• 
  
• Prep: 5 mins
• Cook: 20 mins
• Ready In: 3 hrs 25 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Olive Oil EVOO
• 1/4 Cup Vinegar Red Wine Vinegar
• 2 Teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano crushed
• 1 Teaspoon Black Pepper cracked or coarse ground
• 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
• 3 Cloves Garlic cloves smashed whole

• 1 1/2 Pounds Flank Steak 1 to 2 pound steak

Instructions

1. Place the flank steak and all the ingredients except the parsley in a one-gallon Zip Lock Freezer bag. The meat will look a little pale after marinating, but that is just the vinegar working its magic on the protein.
2. Remove the whole garlic before grilling. Reserve the marinade to splash on the cooked and carved steak

Killer Blackened Fish Recipe

Here in Hawaii, blackened fish can still be found in many restaurants. It is the perfect dry rub for our Island Fish like Mongchong. If I recall correctly, The Yardhouse in Waikiki has Blackened Mongchong on their menu. If you can't get over there anytime soon, try this recipe at home.

Recipe for bulk blackening seasoning

This stuff is expensive when you buy small portions. We love to blacken a sashimi grade Tuna and serve it rare on the inside, but blackened on the crust. A great idea to make a large batch and store it in the freezer.

An Introduction - Ah, Belly Tickler

Dad used to drive us to the barn and then speed up as the road descended into the valley. The road took a quick downward dip, and we'd be monetarily lifted up off the car seat. He called it a bellytickler. Great fun in the days before seat belts.
