This guy >>9105850 back from an insane stretch of work. There's a festival in town right now so we've been crazy busy.

Have a few things to post now though. Not as many process pictures as usual this time, should be more next time though.

Corn soup with home-smoked Portugal chili, creme fraiche, basil, fried corn, and redcurrants.

Shucked all my corn, cut the kernels off, and then roasted the husks and silk until really fragrant and golden, then roasted off half the cobs while keeping the other half raw. Made a really deep, flavorful corn stock out of that (along with basic aromatics- a little mirepoix, bay, and thyme). Smoked the chilies for 6 hours on applewood, then threw them right over the coals for a bit of char. Browned a shallot, added corn kernels and rough chopped chili, and simmered until the corn was tender and the liquid reduced by about 2/3, then pureed it. Super simple but the flavor was awesome, it's amazing how much complexity you can get out of very few ingredients if you put the work in.

The redcurrants seem a bit odd at first but they gave some really nice textural contrast and acid.

Next up, got some beautiful live spot prawns. Easily my favorite seafood, for sure. If you're working with them, make sure you get them really fresh- they should be moving around vigorously- and if you're not cooking them whole right away, IMMEDIATELY take the heads off when you get home. Spot prawn heads contain an enzyme that, if they die, starts to turn the meat mushy/mealy. Really unpleasant. So just grab 'em and twist the heads off.

Cleaned prawns. Heads and shells I roasted down and made stock from, which I reduced by about 2/3 to get a really intense prawn flavor.

Meanwhile, pasta! Got more beautiful fresh peas, and once again blanched and juiced the pods. This time I used the pea pod liquid for pasta. Replaced about half the volume of eggs with pea liquid, and used my standard mix of durum tipo 00 and semolina. Came better than I'd even hoped, nice green color and super easy to work with.

Green almonds. Basically they're underripe almonds, so the outer shell/husk is still fuzzy and kind of soft, and the nut inside is juicy and crispy, kind of the texture of a water chestnut or something, and has a mild green flavor like watermelon rind.

Poached the cleaned prawns in beurre monte, then emulsified that- now prawn flavored- into the prawn stock reduction, which I made into a warm 'vinaigrette' if you will by finishing with some fresh tarragon and some aged muscat vinegar.

Wild boar loin, still with plenty of fat on it. Brined it for 8 hours, rinsed off, scored the fat, salted it, and let it stand for about 4 more hours to dry the surface for dat crust later on.

Meanwhile, I have some tiny little baby onions to deal with. These came with the greens still on which is always good. Cleaned them up a bit, and prepared my confit mixture- 3 hour cold-smoked oil, bay leaf, and thyme.

Some gorgeous red-fleshed plums from the market. I took a bunch of them, simmered 3/4 down to a thick liquid, strained it, then juiced the remaining 1/4 and mixed that juice in to form a glaze consistency with a nice mix of cooked and fresh plum flavors.

Grilled the boar loin over charcoal and applewood, direct heat just long enough to render the fat and crisp that side up, then indirect nice and slow to finish, basting with that boar jus every so often to keep it moist and build up a nice lacquer.

Grilled the pattypan over direct heat, boiled the potatoes in heavily salted water then cut and seared the cut sides, wilted the dandelions down with some shallots in pork fat.

The dish got another drizzle of plum glaze over top that I forgot to take a picture of on account of being hungry.

Last one, kind of a shitty picture unfortunately.

Burger is 80% ground grass-fed chuck, 20% pork belly, grilled over charcoal/applewood. Used the smoked, onion-confit-flavored oil from the boar loin dish to make a smoked mayonnaise, melted some blue brie-type cheese over the patty, pickled some shallots, and made a caramelized onion-sultana relish.

I was super happy with how it came out flavorwise, especially that smoked mayo. Damn.

These are beautiful anon. If you don't mind me asking, what's the logic behind these? Is there a certain format to these combinations? And where do you hear about exotic stuff like green almonds, chicory rubs, and carrot top pesto (assuming you're that same anon) and how to use them?

>>9164959
>>9164972
Please be my waifu

>>9165163
Thanks anon. Yeah, I'm the same guy who did that carrot dish. I've posted about fifteen or twenty or so all told, so far.

Generally these dishes start out on trips to various markets. I'll go grab whatever looks best, and try to build around it. Generally some core combination of flavors will jump out, and then I'll add others to add balance or contrast in flavor or texture. In adding new ingredients, some combinations are classic, some are novel but work by analogy- peas, prawns, and lemon is pretty classic, and rhubarb has similar fresh fruity/acidic flavors to lemon, so it makes sense that it would work in place of lemon. Some can be found by their predilection to similar ingredients. If two ingredients go well with similar things, it makes sense they might go well together, even if it doesn't seem so at first- especially if some of those common flavors are used to bridge the gap.

As far as the use of odd ingredients goes, it's through a combination of instinct, experimentation, and research that you learn to use them. Taste and smell them, test the texture- that'll tell you what it goes with.

Also some, like the carrot top pesto, come from a desire to use all the edible parts of the ingredients i get.
