Food Thread: Tableside Prep Is Usually Theatrics...Usually [CBD]Everyone has seen it....from the Benihana craziness to boning a fish with a flourish. Most of it is just silly posturing, and really doesn't belong in the "food" category, but rather the "entertainment" category. But....recently I had a Caesar salad made at the table and I wondered whether the freshness of the dressing made any difference. Admittedly, the dressing was superb...better than mine...so it might just be a fine recipe. Of course, at the same restaurant 30 minutes later they prepared a pasta inside a half wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano. Boy, did I think that was stupid? Yup...right up until I tasted it. Fantastic stuff. I doubt that it needed to be done three feet from me, but it was fun, and the waiter scraped some of the detritus from the sides of the wheel and put them on my plate, so there's that! In general? I'll pass. But it was amusing and quite good. No, this has nothing to do with anything, other than it is immensely amusing and it was discussed in an earlier thread. Although....I don't like peaches very much, so perhaps the advice is sound. I was wandering through the supermarket last week and came across some fresh fava beans. I had eaten a fantastic preparation of them at a Greek restaurant a few days before, so I grabbed a dozen pods, not knowing what the hell I was going to do with them. I blanched the beans, removed the membrane, and then sauteed with some rough-chopped grape tomatoes that I had salted to get some of the excess liquid out of. A few herbs, some olive oil, then deglazed with white wine. Fantastic! And trivially easy. It would probably be best with liver and a nice Chianti, but I did the best I could. Just a bit of culinary advice..... In my world eating tacks is preferable to eating bananas, kidneys and calf's brains. What about the Horde? Truly repulsive foods? Spanish Chicken With Chorizo And Potatoes from Nigella Lawson, via Provenance Village Butcher sounds fantastic. Except the recipe is for a different dish. What a tease! The recipe is for lamb in coconut milk and curry. It sounds good. I was poking around my recipes and found a planked salmon recipe. I hadn't made it in probably 10 years, but I recall it was nice. Does anyone still use cedar planks? It was quite the fad a long time ago, but i haven't seen it much recently. Eh....I have a few planks sitting in the back of a cupboard, so I'll probably try this again. Reading the recipe makes me very suspicious of the cooking time. 20 minutes seems like an awfully long time for salmon to spend in a hot oven. If you try this, be careful! And 10 minutes under the broiler is ridiculous.
