I couldn't get to sleep last night so I had an idea to get your brains working. I have a couple of test ideas so far. You are going to play Chef detective and find Waldo so to speak. The recipes and dishes that will be used are basic classic presentations, not how Chef Michel Le Grande Tete would do it at his latest fusion restaurant, but how most people would remember or recognize the dish. Let's make it easy to start.
Here is the first test.
You have been hired to help do some catering for a client who wants to do a traditional Hawaiian Luau.
Here is the menu items you are to prepare:
Island Chicken Brochettes with Pineapple Salsa
served over Pineapple Salsa infused rice.
Lomi Lomi
Here are the basic recipes: (quantities are unimportant for this exercise)
Brochettes
Boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1" cubes
Red bell peppers seeded and cut into 1" squares also cut some into a brunoise for the salsa
fresh whole pineapple peeled and cut. Some into 1" cubes for the brochettes and chop the rest finely
Jalapenos seeded and minced
Green onion tops finely minced
fresh ginger minced
fresh cilantro minced
Cube meat, red bell pepper, and Pineapple. Put onto skewers, set in large flat pan.
Mix remaining ingredients for salsa, season to taste. Pour over brochettes. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from salsa next day and grill brochettes.
Cook rice using salsa as part of the liquid. Serve Brochettes over rice.
Lomi Lomi
Mahi Mahi filets cut into cubes
sugar, salt
Fresh Dill
lime
rice wine vinegar
olive oil
Mixed wild greens
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and serve in mounds on top of salad
Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to find out what, if anything is wrong with this menu, methods or the items. Or will your items come out just fine.
This message should self destruct in 5 seconds. Otherwise....
