KITS
TUNA TARTAR WITH TAQUITOS DE MALANGA (toss & mix)
Keep refrigerated and serve within 24 hours
-
Transfer tuna to a small bowl
-
Set aside the spicy mayo and cilantro for later use
-
Add sesame oil (1), shallots (2), sesame seeds (3) and lastly, the salt (4)
TIP salt is last ingredient because it will begin the "curing" process
TIP mix carefully so as not to "break" the tuna
4. Scoop with a small spoon into a malanga taquito
TIP use1oz of the tuna mixture onto each taquito
5. Use scissors to snip a corner of the bag off the small bag containing the spicy mayo (5).
TIP The size of the cut that you make will determine the amount of spicy mayo that dispenses as you squeeze your bag. The bigger you make the hole when you cut the bag, the more mayo that will come out.
6. Lift your bag up with the opening pointing upwards so that the spicy mayo doesn't spill out.
7. Hold the bag over your taquito and squeeze the bag slowly to spread a line over tuna.
8. Sprinkle cilantro leaf (6)
HOME-MADE PUMPKIN PANCAKE KIT

For best results - warm the caramel mix in its bottle using a "bain-marie" technique.
TIP: use a mug filled with hot water and place the bottle inside for 20 secs. Do not let it liquify.
-
Turn the stove to med
-
In a non-stick pan, place some butter and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
-
Have your caramel mix (2) handy
-
Using a laddle, pour some pumpkin pancake mix (1) in the center of the pan
-
As soon as the first couple of bubbles appears, use the caramel mix to create a swirl starting inwards and working your way out
-
Flip the pancake carefully when the upper part is full of "bubbles"
-
Finish cooking the pancake. Make sure the caramel is not overly caramelized
-
Repeat
TIP using a paper towel, clean the pan between uses.
TO GLAZE THE PANCAKES: Use the same "technique" demonstrated below to create a "piping bag" out of the ziplock containing the glaze (3).
Use a zigzag motion to cover the pancake or create your own!
