FOOD & DRINK RECIPES Potato Crusted Salmon with Asparagus, Endive Salad, Rosé Mustard Dressing & Poached Hens’ Egg - Chef Jason Parsons INGREDIENTS: SALMON

-

5 oz piece of salmon 1 whole Yukon potato 1 egg yolk 1 tsp Dijon mustard splash of Peller Estates Rosé Wine fine salt and ground white pepper for seasoning grapeseed oil (or any oil to pan sear in)

SALAD

-

6-8 spears of asparagus 1-2 cups of frisee endive 1/2 cup of finely sliced breakfast radish 2 tsp of Dijon mustard 2 tsp of white wine vinegar splash of Peller Estates Rosé Wine 6 tsp of extra virgin olive oil 1/2 a shallot finely chopped 1 whole lemon fine salt and ground white pepper for seasoning

POACHED EGG

- 1 whole hens’ egg - 2-3 cups of Peller Estates Rosé Wine - pinch of fine salt DIRECTIONS: ASPARAGUS

Using the asparagus or vegetable peeler, remove the skin from the bottom two thirds of each spear.

Once peeled they are ready for blanching. Using the butchers string, gather the spears in one bunch with all the tips at one end. Gentle wrap the string around the bunch and tie them (tying the asparagus is optional). When ready submerge the asparagus into the boiling salted water. After 2 to 3 three minutes gently remove the asparagus and immediately plunge them into the bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking and help the asparagus to stay vibrant green. Once they are cold, remove from the water and set aside.

FOOD & DRINK RECIPES Potato Crusted Salmon with Asparagus, Endive Salad, Rosé Mustard Dressing & Poached Hens’ Egg - Chef Jason Parsons DIRECTIONS: C O N T I N U E D DRESSING

In a mixing bowl add the tsp of Dijon mustard, finely chopped shallots, red wine vinegar and a splash of Peller Estates Rosé Wine. Whisk all the ingredients together and then slowly add in the extra virgin olive oil.

Season with the fine salt and ground white pepper to taste.

SALAD

In a large salad bowl, gently mix the blanched asparagus, endive, sliced radishes. Using the asparagus peeler, shave thin slices of zest of the surface of the lemon, using a knife cut the lemon zest into julienne and add this to the salad. Then cut open the lemon and squeeze the juice over the salad. Make sure to use a strainer so the lemon seeds don’t get in.

Now set aside until we are ready to plate.

SALMON

Peel the potato and then grate into a bowl. Add and mix in 1 tsp of the Dijon mustard, egg yolk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Take the remaining 1 tsp of Dijon mustard into a shallow bowl and mix with a splash of Peller Estates Rosé wine. Then gently press the surface of the salmon into the mustard rose mix. Now gently form a thin layer of the potato mixture on the surface of the salmon. The mustard Rosé mix with help it to stick. Next heat the grapeseed oil in the frying pan over medium to high heat. Place the potato side down in the fry pan and sear. Once the potato is golden brown, using a spatula turn the salmon and continue to cook until the salmon is cooked through. Then remove from the pan.

POACHED EGG

Heat the Peller Estates Rosé Wine in the small pot until it comes to a simmer. Crack the egg into the small ladle and gently lower the egg into the simmer wine. Use the ladle to swirl the wine. This will help the pouched egg to form a good shape. Remove the ladle and allow the egg to simmer. The egg should only take a few minutes. Once cooked using the spoon with holes. Lift out the egg and place it on the plate with the paper towel to remove access liquid.

NOW IT’S TIME TO ASSEMBLE:

Return to the salad in the bowl and add three quarters of the Rosé, Mustard dressing. Gently toss all the ingredients and then arrange on a serving plate. Top the salad with the potato crusted salmon and then with the Rosé poached hens’ egg. Lastly drizzle the remaining Rosé mustard dressing and serve.

DIRECTIONS:

Preparing the rimmer, mix together lime zest, salt, nutmeg and sugar.

Different fruit will have different essential oils in the rind and could make the mixture to become slightly thicker. Rub glass with lime wedge and rub with the zest mixture.

The cocktail is going to be prepared in the glass. Combine ginger beer, whisky and ice, stir together.

The beer must be added at the end or it will foam over. Once cocktail is mixed, slowly add the rye lager on top Garnish with lime wedge and 3-4 dashes of bitters.
