« Olive Oil-Poached Escolar with Port Wine Caviar | Main | Your Food Allergies »


This was the entree the night I made olive oil-poached escolar with port caviar. Both dishes were really nice, but the crispy roasted root veggies and succulent skate wing made the entree course really satisfying. If I were doing this for a dinner party (or a restaurant), I would have added a couple elements--a sauce of some sort, and some weird things--but for a (relatively, for me) fast meal, home-cooked, for two, this was great.

The escolar was more refined, and highlighted the flavor of the fish very well. The port wine caviar was a successful application of a new technique, which is always satisfying, but more so because they were bursting with yummy flavor, much more so than any other "caviar" I've made. Oh, and the best thing about the escolar? No anal leakage! That link, by the way, points to the Wiki page for Escolar, and not to the many far worse things it could point to.

Oh, and if you're wondering, for dessert I made chocolate milkshakes (which are really easy with my immersion blender).

This looks AMAZING. I guess my dinner invite got lost in the mail! ;)
